Samsung BD-P1000 Review

by LIncoln Spector

- What a difference a firmware update makes. When it first launched last year, Samsung's BD-P1000 ($800 as of 2/20/07) displayed soft images--a result of Samsung's choice to enable noise reduction by default. The player we tested fixed this issue, though, and performed like a whole new machine. Bolstered with the most recent firmware available as of our testing, the BD-P1000 produced fine images, with good detail and color balance.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Plays Ok with the remote.

Weaknesses: All front panel buttons quit functioning prior to 90 days of use. Circuit City wouldn't take it back for repair. Couldn't get a response from local authorized repair.

Overall Evaluation: Still less than a year old, I called Samsung for support. They advised me $85 for repair. I'd have to pay shipping and the unit just isn't worth it. I will never buy another Samsung, my first one proved to be expensive and low quality control from the factory.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: the quality of the picture is amazing. HDMI output to get hightest possible HD resolution.

Weaknesses: It is a bit slow queing up the disc / movie.

Overall Evaluation: This is my first HD DVD player. I have been watching the format wars for awhile now and even though the race is just starting, BluRay seems to be the choice of more buyers than HD DVD. Movies are coming out every week from nearly all the studios and first run DVD's are being released in the BluRay format at the same time regular DVD's are being released. I bought Casino Royale and the picture is stunning! I would recommend this player to anyone. It is about $500 cheaper than the Sony player!
