Samsung BD-P2550 reviewed by John Luben

October 30, 2008

I bought my Samsung BD-P2550 from manufacturer's website. This is my second BD player. I was waiting for the format war to end once it did I read a review www.buyblurayplayers.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 one loads pretty fast. From what I heard it is much faster then older previous 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 video isfine 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 not pleased with the player has the Sony Theater Sync feature. Which works great with my Pionner 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, Band of Brothers, Eraser, and Batman Begins 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 Troy on a SD DVD and that look pretty good too.

One of the best features of this player is its size. They were able to reduce the size of the player to just over a 2" height and only 8-3/4" deep.

The next generation model due out in the fall it will cost more but it decodes all the audio inside the player.

Overall four day in I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm happy I waited for this model.
