Samsung's DVD-H1080 looks like a large pebble, plays DVDs

While Samsung's design may be changing in the Blu-ray player department, its latest DVD player pays homage to last year's DVD-F1080. The all new, very pebble-like DVD-H1080 touts the company's Touch of Color design, weighs just over two pounds and is only marginally bigger than the DVDs it will one day play. As expected, the deck features 1080p upscaling to go along with the USB host function which adds support for DivX, MP3 and JPEG files. There's nary a word on price, but it should be landing at your favorite (and least favorite, for the record) retailer in the first half of 2009.

I'm digging this! I would keep it on top of the tv bench instead of inside it.

Sony had a similiar design in 2003... not a sleek looking, but it was pretty nice.

They're really into their obscure looking equipment that looks a real pain to clean at the moment aren't they?...

THATS WHAT......the public wants unfortunately.

I am going to buy this right when it comes out! It is so small and the really cool touch of color is a perfect accent!

Dumb. Seriously, do they think every potential customer will have just this one unit sitting out on top of an empty stand? People have AVRs,DVRs, and more in a shelf/storage/rack unit and these round and non logical shapes are really annoying.

Looks like a drop of blood to me. Rich in oxygen too!
