Here's my "new" DVD player, the Samsung DVD-HD1000 40 pounds of joy. It's actually slightly used, but showed no real signs of it. New used, we'll call it.
reprint of specs from other post:
That's a Samsung DVD-HD1000 DVD player, reputed to upconvert 480P DVD to 1080i or 720P! However, there is a catch. DVDs that are copy protected will cause the screen to flicker, then it's converted back to 480P. I do understand there's a mod for this, that I assume would make it upconvert to 1080i or 720P any DVD.
Player retail is 1500-2000. Construction looks to be bulletproof.
Quoting one store that's taking pre-orders only:

Samsung DVD-HD1000 HD DVD Player
Samsung Electronics invested heavily in this masterpiece. Technical cooperation was pursued with both US and Japanese partners to improve the fidelity of the audio produced by the DVD-HD1000 DVD player, and overseas audio specialists were repeatedly brought in to evaluate and improve the product.
The DVD-HD1000 targets audiophiles and is designed to reproduce the world’s best audio and video quality. It comes equipped with a Shannon & Fluency filter, produced in a technical tie-up between Samsung Electronics and Luxman, to deliver sound quality as close to the original as possible. A liner “O“-core transformer reduces noise generated by the power source to offer even better overall sound quality
Moreover, the product is carefully structured to eliminate distortion, resonance, vibration and interference, thereby providing the world’s very best audio performance. It is designed for DVD audio, which is four times better sound quality than compact disc. As such, this product targets professional users and produces the very highest and lowest notes in high fidelity. The exterior is finished with aluminum to enhance its image as one of the best DVD players available on the market today.
Importantly, the DVD Player is equipped to accommodate HDTV, offering higher quality video imagers than regular DVD players do. It retails for W3 million as the ideal product for digital TV owners who want to build a high-end home theater around their DVD player.
Samsung Electronics plans to aggressively market its new DVD player through large retail outlets. The company’s priority on quality is aimed at positioning its DVD player line at the very top of the market.

Incredibly, the quality of the output achieved is more vivid than the source.

*Notice: If playing a copy-protected DVD, 720p output or 1080i output is automatically converted to 480p output. Picture flickering may occur for 1~2 seconds during the shifting process.
