Samsung BD-P1000 review

Samsung produces another beauty but drops the ball elsewhere

Looks great

Convoluted resolution manipulation ; Expensive for what you get

Notable omissions on the spec sheet make this Blu-ray player something of a letdown - especially at this price

Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray player

Samsung has managed to be the first in the UK to launch its Blu-ray player capable of playing the latest high-definition discs to give you vastly improved picture quality. Whether it's Blu-ray or HD DVD it is clear that the improvement in quality...

Picture quality, styling, memory card reader, playback standard DVDs

Price, can't play back xD memory cards

Whether it's Blu-ray or HD DVD it is clear that the improvement in quality (don't forget you will need to buy a television capable of 1080p resolution to get the full benefit) is very impressive and just as DVD took over from VHS, either Blu-ray or HD...

Samsung BD-P1000

With Blu-ray playback a key part of the PS3's appeal, Samsung's new BD-P1000 player has its work cut out – can it cut it against the gaming godhead?

Pictures can look sensational, especially with the best discs. Sound-quality is equally formidable, so long as your system is up to it

Riddled with spec compromises that seriously undermine its long-term worth. Also incredibly slow to operate and temperamental

Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player (BD-P1000)

Blu-ray is one of two new DVD formats giving better sound and vision quality, of course to use it you will need an ‘HD' ready TV.

The black box of the Samsung BD-P1000 blu-ray player has a silver strip along the bottom half of the front, it is much the same size as a standard video recorder at 43x32x7cm. You will need to add around another 3cm to the 32cm depth for insertion of...

Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray Disc player

Around a decade ago I witnessed my first demo of a DVD player.

The worst part though is that there is only a very limited range of Blu-ray titles on sale at the moment. So this player is very much for early adopters who are going to commit to the format no matter what. Unless you have to be first on the block with...

Review: Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc player

Samsung's first with a Blu-ray player in the UK. So has the rush been worth it..?

This smart looking machine delivers a very good Blu-ray picture and upscales standard DVDs

A pricey player, especially compared to its rival HD DVD ; it also lacks a network connection and the best outputs for high-end audio formats

The machine does not play the rival HD DVD - such universal players are pure fantasy right now - but it does take the 'legacy' formats: CD, DVD and home-recorded variations (even DVD-RAM and DVD-RWs made in VR mode). There's no MPEG4/DivX playback but...

Expert Review

For the early adopters this is a great product, offering excellent image quality and a variety of connection options. The price tag however, is considerably higher than that the projected cost of competing HD-DVD players.

Great picture quality, HDMI support

Price, Slow menu
