Samsung BD-P1600

The Samsung BD-P1600 is a striking new blu-ray player that has a lot of features you might not expect to find in a sub £150 player. It's Profile 2.0 ready, and supports BD Live - out of the box. And the sexy gloss black finish will look great under any brand of TV.

The Samsung BD-P1600 offers full HD playback through HDMI 1.3 connection. It also does an impressive job of upscaling your standard DVDs, making them look crisp and sharp. Blu-ray playback is first rate, with image quality crisp and detailed in both still shots and fast action.

Setting up the player is quick and easy. Like most blu-ray players, it's just a case of taking it out of the box, and plugging it in.

There's some welcome little touches here too. The Samsung BD-P1600 will eject a disc in under a second, and has a fast start-up time. Something other players could sorely do with. There's also two USB ports - so if you connect a wireless dongle, you'll have another spare for your USB stick. (The USB ports can be used to playback AVIs and other movies, as well as updating firmware).

If you're looking for a new blu-ray player, we definitely recommend you consider the Samsung BD-P1600. This player is future proof, provides first class image and sound quality, and comes in at a respectable price.
