HD DVD PLAYER AND RECORDER 720P

However, unlike the latest combi decks from the likes of Panasonic, Pioneer and Sony, the DVD-SH855M doesnвЂ™t offer 1080p, which may disappoint those with Full HD TVs.Д¬onnections include an HDMI output, which serves up those 1080i and 720p pictures, plus progressive scan-capable component video outputs and two SCARTS, one of which accepts high-quality RGB signals from an external digital TV box. Among the recorderвЂ™s other features is video upscaling to 720p and 1080i, making it a suitable deck for owners of flat-panel TVs. To those of you about to lose your analog TV signal, rest assured that thereвЂ™s a digital tuner on board, alongside an analogue one. ThatвЂ™s an awful lot of TV by anyoneвЂ™s standards and itвЂ™ll be a while before you have to think about deleting anything. Of course thereвЂ™s also a 250GB hard-disk on board, which can hold up to 427 hours of TV if you use the lowest-quality EP setting, or about 64 hours in the highest-quality XP mode.

The DVD-SH855M DVD/HDD combi can record onto every DVD format, including RAM and dual-layer DVD-R and DVD+R media, both of which double the maximum recording time of a single-layer disc. The fierce rivalry between the RAM, -RW and +RW camps gently faded into insignificance as companies started making decks that could record onto every format, meaning that consumers no longer had to agonise over which one is the best.ДЄll of which means the DVD recorder market is now a place of peace, where different formats live side by side in perfect harmony вЂ“ and Samsung is one of the main peacekeepers. All this bickering between Blu-ray and HD DVD makes me wonder why the respective camps donвЂ™t cast their minds back to the DVD recording вЂformat warвЂ™.
