Digital camera reviews of Samsung DVD-1080P8 1080p Upconverting DVD Player

Digital camera Review: A Warning
Summary: 3 Stars

I listen to both movies and music while I'm at work, and I came close to purchasing this. It's definitely one of the sexiest players on the market, and I have no doubt that it offers excellent picture and sound. There's just one thing, and this may be of no concern to many of you, but, when playing CD's, the unit does not show the track no. It shows the time counter, but, alas, no track. This was a deal breaker for me. The problem with this unit is that if you're listening to a new CD and you're several tracks in, you're not going to keep count of which track you're on (especially if you're at work and doing other things). What if you want to know the name of the song? Too bad, so sad. This unit may be at the low end of how much you could spend on a DVD player, but c'mon Samsung, it's not cheap enough to expect a dumbed-down counter. (The unit does show the chapter no. for DVDs.)

Ironically, other DVD units I saw (by different manufacturers) did the exact opposite; they displayed the CD's track no., but not the time. Go figure.
