CNET Editors' review - Samsung BD-P1000

Mediocre

4.6

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 4.6 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier
Review date: 6/30/06
Release date: 6/20/06

The good: Plays Blu-ray discs in true high-definition; upscales standard DVDs to high-definition; sleek design; 1080p output via HDMI.

The bad: 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 times; some operational bugs.

The bottom line: With video quality that's 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.
