Samsung Pebble DVD- F1080 DVD player

The video was crisp, and dynamic range did not clip at the extremes, meaning we got all levels of low blacks and brightest whites. This we found out on our 256 level Grayscale pattern. The various color plugs also were quite accurate, with colors staying in borders and detail coming through.

There was no framing, skipping or delay in playback etc. Mostly we had a smooth function. But, the player was not flawless. Nor was it insanely high fidelity like more expensive models, but there was a crisp and clean image that satisfies. This was on a 720p image (HD ready) On a Full HD TV. The player really does not do such an awesome job for 1080p upscaling - there are artifacts here and there. The claimed formats of MP3, WMA DivX etc, all play except of course unclaimed ones like WMV, ASF.

Conclusion
At Rs. 5900 it is a bit pricey considering the lack of USB, no 5.1 decoded output, no DTS. The design is no doubt very good, and will suffice for someone who really cares about the looks of his gadgets. Performance is good for HD ready screens, and basic DivX and DVD playback is good. Full HD upscaling is not the best there is.
