The Brand New Blu-Ray Player from Samsung - the BD-P1500 model
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Good picture, allows all audio signals to pass through, Profile 1.1 - promise of upgrades
Cons: Nothing really, unless Samsung decides to not upgrade this player with profile 2.0
Bottom Line:
Best Player for the money - as long as your home theater receiver can pick up the slack

Samsung's BD-P1500 Blu-ray player allows me to upgrade and keep my DVDs, too!
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Plays Hi-Def Blu-rays, DVDs and CDs; easy to set up and use
Cons: Blu-ray discs are pricier; players are more expensive than DVD players
Bottom Line:
Though maybe I could have waited another year to go Blu-ray, I think the BD-P1500 is a good player for videophiles with lots of DVDs.

Awful Product
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Cheap materials
Lacking in features
Ineffective firmware updates
Awful technical support
Bottom Line:
Unlike other components, the quality of a blu-ray player rests on the quality of its firmware updates. Samsung falls down in this area. Do not buy this product.
