  • Abstract:  Samsungs BD-P1000 was the first Blu-ray player available. Originally it cost £1,000 but the price has been cut significantly. However, £600 is still a lot of money and almost double the cost of Toshibas HD-E1 HD-DVD player, which weve reviewed op...

  • Immaculate build and design; memory card convergence; ease of use; peerless high-definition performance
  • Massive price; basic functionality; average standard-definition performance
  • Samsungs BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to arrive in the UK. High-definition image quality scales new heights using the 1080p format, but new technology always comes with an inflated price tag ...

  • 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 wit...

  • Abstract:  Blu-ray has landed, in the glossy, stylish form of Samsungs BD-P1000, which beat Panasonic to become the first Blu-ray disc player in UK shops. Its not a heavyweight item like Panasonics £1,300 DMP-BD10 but at about £950, Samsungs effort is conside...

  • Twice as expensive as the competing HD-DVD player; very few titles available at launch; video quality on initial titles less impressive than HD-DVD versions; slower load time; some operational bugs.
  • With video quality thats impressive but still not as good as its HD-DVD competition, the costly Samsung BD-P1000 will appeal only to those willing to risk a grand on a first-generation player in the middle of a format war.

  • affichage des photos en HD via lecteur de cartes intégré.
  • Sorties limitées (pas de 1080p/24, de HDMI 1.3, de péritel), décodage son et sorties audio limitées, traitement vidéo relativement basique, petite complexité, grande lenteur de fonctionnement, nettement plus coûteux quun lecteur HD-DVD.
  • Ce lecteur Blu-Ray, un peu (trop) jeune offre aux plus impatients un avant goût de lextrême qualité sonore et visuelle des disques HD. ...

  • Compatibilité CD et DVD, Qualité dimage optimale, Lecteur multicarte
  • Prix, Aucune assurance de pérennité
  • Les lecteurs de DVD haute définition devraient pointer leur nez au printemps prochain. Samsung, Toshiba, Pioneer, Sharp et Toshiba ont fait étalage de leur savoir-faire et de leurs prototypes au Consumer Electronics Shows de Las Vegas. Les modèles prés...
