BD-P1500 Reviews
"I bought a Samsung 52" TV and this blu-ray was incredibly reduced as a bonus for buying at the same time as the TV. I read the reviews and was a little skeptical, but it has worked just beautifully and is easy to install. It's my first blu-ray so I have nothing to compare it to. We also bought a Bose surround sound system to go with everything and I'm completely overwhelmed with remotes. Anyway, would certainly recommend the Samsung Blu-Ray Player to anyone looking for one. I understand from those in the know, that Samsung outdid themselves and everyone else this year with their 2007-8 technology and I think that is why this Samsung has probably improved since the reviews I read. We certainly have had not a single teeth-clenching moment with it, except maybe when we were watching Iron Man, and it has worked perfectly from the very beginning. It was easy - it came, we set it up in no time and watched our first movie (Iron Man) within just a few minutes. It was a fabulous experience watching Blu-Ray for the first time."
"After researching the blu-rays on the market I finally decided upon this particular model. It was a great price and I got it in a few days.. I recently purchased a 46"Samsung LCD and needed a blu-ray to go with it. I am extrememly happy with both purchases."
"This was an impulse buy for me. I was purchasing a Samsung 52in LCD TV, and this was a one time special price buy if you bought the two together..well..turned out to be the best impulse buy ever. Love the quality! While I agree with other reviews..the Playstation 3 is better..for being a strait Blue Ray..it is awesome! Together with the Samsung TV..it works even better. Makes me with all my components were Samsung products. They have really outdone themselves!"
