  • La compatible BD Profile 7.1, La gestion du son HD 7.1, Le prix en petite baisse...
  • Pas de BD Live
  • Présenté au CES de Las Vegas 2008, le nouveau lecteur Blu-ray de Samsung ne sortira pas avant le mois de juin aux Etats-Unis et remplacera le BD-P1400 dont il reprend d’ailleurs les grandes lignes. Avec quelques petites nouveautés malgré tout. D&rsq...

  • relative geringer Preis, ausreichender Funktionsumfang, einfache Bedienung, übersichtliches Onscreen-Menü
  • etwas unscharfes Bild, Deinterlacing-Artefakte, kein integrierter DTS-HD-Dekoder
  • Der BD-P1500 arbeitet schnell und bringt erstklassige 1080/24p-Bilder auf die Mattscheibe. Allerdings ist er etwas laut und zudem nicht gerade zierlich. Trotzdem verdient er wegen seines vergleichsweise niedrigen Preises besonders bei knappem Budget ei...

  • Abstract:  Der Samsung BD-P1400 war bei seiner Markteinführung 2007 ein hervorragender Blu-ray-Player, dessen einzige wirkliche Schwäche im zu lauten und zu trägen Laufwerk lag. Mittlerweile ist der Player auch visuell nicht mehr auf Augenhöhe mit den deutlich ne...

  • Abstract:  Jämfört med vanlig DVD är det bildkvaliteten som er Blu-ray-formatets mest uppenbara framsteg. De flesta som ser en Blu-ray-film på en HDTV inser vad det handlar om med en gång: en bildkvalitet som vanlig DVD aldrig har varit i närheten av. Inte ens me...

  • Abstract:  BD-P1500 är ännu en av Samsungs blu-rayspelare. Testarna konstaterar att den möter förväntningarna och är ett av de bästa alternativen på marknaden just nu.

  • Abstract:  I denne testen er Samsung BD-P1500 sammenlignet med den mer avanserte Panasonic DMP-BD50. Samsung-spilleren mangler flere av funksjonene til Panasonic-spilleren, men koster mindre. Hvilken som gir best valuta for pengene, skal vi fortelle her.

  • Den lave prisen gjør BDP-1500 høyaktuell om du skal kjøpe deg en Blu-ray-spiller akkurat nå, her får du etter vår oppfatning mye for pengene. Vi liker spesielt at den oppgraderbar til profil 2.0, og kommer derfor til å beholde vårt testeksemplar til o...
