Are all those free movies worth buying this HD DVD player?

bytechnologyrep Nov 27, 2007
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Stunning HD picture and sound.
Cons Long load times, won't accept wireless internet connections; Bluray will win war.
Recommended it? Yes

Let me state up front that I'm not going to discuss in detail how good or bad the picture quality of this HD DVD player is because in my experience high definition is high definition, be it from Bluray, HDTV or HD DVD, and it can depend a lot on the specific disc being watched. I will touch on it a... Read full review »

Great play back! Slow boot!

bybongnpinoy Oct 30, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great Value and comes with seven HD DVDs
Cons Slow boot time
Recommended it? Yes

I've taking a side and I've picked HD-DVD. Don't know anything about the different technicalities between Blu-Ray and HD DVD, but frankly from what I've seen in electronic stores both looks the same - stunning sharpness, clarity and brightness. HD DVD is the cheaper format from the two (less than... Read full review »

IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A BLURAY PLAYER!

byDennisM Nov 29, 2009
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very thin, wall mountable, unique design!
Cons Can not stack this unit, and it's too wide for standard rack with loading drawer!
Recommended it? Yes

I suppose as consumers, we all get used to various products. Refrigerators are tall and rectangle, ovens are sort of square, microwaves are rectangles, and BluRay players are those rectangular boxes!

That may have been true in the past, but no more. This Samsung BluRay BDP4600 looks nothing... Read full review »

ONE if not the BEST of it's era-except for 1 glitch

bydual1219 Sep 7, 2010
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Expensive looks, high speed, and wifi enabled
Cons Doomed only if accidentally upgraded.
Recommended it? Yes

I guess it's about a year, or closing in, on the purchase of this unit.  I checked a lot of reviews when it was first introduced and the consensus was fabulous BUT DON'T UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE! One of the reviews indicated poor up-conversion on standard DVD's. I dis-agree -at least when... Read full review »
