Samsung BD-P1500 reviewed by Tom Vengataraman
October 24, 2008
I obtained my Samsung BD-P1500 from Bestbuy. This is my very first BD player. I was waiting for the format war to end once it did I read a review bestbuy.com on the internet that said you might consider waiting to making the jump to BD until the next generation of players to come out on the market.
This player loads pretty fast From what I read it is much faster then first generation models. I was upgrading coming from a Samsung 5 disc up converting DVD player and that thing was slow so I'm very satisfied. The picture isgood and the audio is great too. I don't even have it connected to a amp that does Dolby Tru-HD or DTS-MA. That will be my next purchase.
There is only one thing that I'm disconcerted with the player has the Pioneer Theater Sync feature. Which works great with my LG amp. But for some reason the DVD remote will only control the volume for the TV not the amp. So I still have to use a second remote for volume on my Sony amp. This makes no sense to me.
We watched I Am Legend, Dark City, 2001 - A Space Odyssey, and the Bucket List on BD so far. Batman Begins wasbeautiful from an audio and picture quality issue. My wife said she had no clue that a DVD could look that good.
I also watched The Hunt for Red October on a SD DVD and that look pretty good too.
The player features latest BD profile so it will support future updates and BD internet contents
The next generation model due out in the fall it will cost more but it decodes all the audio inside the player.
Overall five day in I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm happy I waited for this model.
