The Brand New Blu-Ray Player from Samsung - the BD-P1500 model

byscapp70 Jun 11, 2008

56 Helpfuls 57 Helpfuls

Pros Good picture, allows all audio signals to pass through, Profile 1.1 - promise of upgrades

Cons Nothing really, unless Samsung decides to not upgrade this player with profile 2.0

Recommended it? Yes

Are you telling me that it has only been slightly over a year since I have purchased my first blu-ray player? Worse yet, I have upgraded this piece of home theater equipment already. Am I really this crazy with money? What a waste! Gee, I can't deny that money has been wasted on a newer model from... Read full review »

byAliventiAsylum May 17, 2009

37 Helpfuls 38 Helpfuls

Pros excellent picture, easy to operate, compact and lightweight

Cons battery pack gets a little warm

Recommended it? Yes

Working graveyards when you are the only person in the building is a pretty lonely existence. Fortunately, I have a subscription to Netflix and have managed to keep my queue filled with DVDs.

Great DVD Player for Car, Plane or Hotel

bykrus54 Aug 8, 2010

25 Helpfuls 26 Helpfuls

Pros Sharp picture, great sound, swivel screen, two headphone jacks

Cons Touch controls on the LCD panel are difficult to use (find) in low light conditions.

Recommended it? Yes

I'm now on my third DVD player in about 5 years. I hope this one lasts longer than the Mintek or Phillips that I've owned previously. But at least we're off to a good start. This Sony FX930 is the best one I've had so far!
