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.

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!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: None
Weaknesses:No Hi-def picture quality and too expensive
Overall Evaluation: I returned this unit after I read that Sony was claiming that Blu Ray's poor picture quality was because this Samsung Blu Ray player was defective. Yet everybody continues to sell it?Samsung says they are working on a fix for the poor picture quality, but that it hasn't been pin-pointed and could be a few months before a solution is found.My experience is that the Blu Ray format itself is defective, not just this player.I'll be waiting until November when the PS3 and Sony Blu Ray player are supposed to be available to make a better judgement.
Review:
Samsung BD-P1000
This Blu-ray Disc player produces solid images, but its audio quality is lacking.
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.
