5.0 out of 5 stars Great Blu player by samsung, 10 Aug 2008
This review is from: Samsung BD-P1500/XEU - Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
I was a bit apprehensive about this player but after some research i thought it was the best option for me considering the price. It is future proof, it has 1.1 profile and will be updated to 2.0 sometime later this year. I did not find loading times to slow, maybe because i have a Toshiba HD DVD EP-30 player.

First movie i played was I am legend, it looked stunning on my 1080p TV along with my audio system,. I connected it up with onkyo 606, it done true hd and DTS master HD. I then played Rambo (free copy with the player), looked stunning but froze half qay. I then downloaded the software from the samsung site took about 10 mins in total and plugged in the back usb port and wahla updated new software within 10 mins. Put Rambo back in and pic looked dstunning and no more glitches.

I have to say it is a stunning discreet looking player, menu is very user friendly and the remote is the same as any new samsung devices.

I also have a PS3 in the bedroom, put this player in my living room, it is very cheap player for blu ray considering the picture and audio is quality excellent.

I would say get this product if you want an entry level blu ray player that will play all the new features now and in the future. Maybe in a couple of years get a sony blu ray at a realy great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good player for blu ray discs., 22 July 2008
This review is from: Samsung BD-P1500/XEU - Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
I have had this player for three days now, and am very pleased with it so far.

Setting it up was straight forward. Video leads are provided, but not an HDMI cable, so if you want one, you'll need to order it separately.

I was slightly skeptical that blu ray would be significantly different from DVD, as I wear glasses, but I was wrong: blu ray is quite amazing. So far I've seen two films, and the clarity was /very/ impressive.

I only had one hiccup - the first time that I tried to use it, it refused to play any discs at all (I tried two blu ray discs and three DVDs). Having switched it off, I was about to contact Amazon to arrange to send it back, then wondered if it was worth another go. The second time, it was fine, and hasn't misbehaved since.

Having read the manual, I have found that there are three ways to update the firmware: by CD rom, by USB flash drive and by LAN.

One small niggle, the info panel shows the time elapsed, but not the total time for a feature/programme. I'm not sure if that's a blu ray phenomenon, or just a quirk of this particular player.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good I bought a second one, 1 Aug 2008
This review is from: Samsung BD-P1500/XEU - Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
I bought this as I wanted a Blu Ray player for my lounge and hoped that it would fit the bill.

It exceeded my expectations so much within an hour I went back online and purchased a second player for my bedroom.
Outstanding service from Amazon as I had missed the special offer of the free BluRay disc on my first order but Brian at Customer Services was good enough to sort it out.
Thanks.
