Originally priced at £1,000 when it first appeared, you can now pick up the BD-P1000 for approximately £700 (John Lewis). Many online retailers have this 1080p-capable Blu-ray player (that can also upscale regular DVDs to 1080p) on sale for under £500...

Samsungs BD-P1000 was the first Blu-ray player available. Originally it cost £1,000 but the price has been cut significantly. However, £600 is still a lot of money and almost double the cost of Toshibas HD-E1 HD-DVD player, which weve reviewed op...

So while there is a lot to like about Blu-ray and Samsungs player in particular, Im not entirely sold on the format becoming anywhere near as ubiquitous as DVD. But for the time being if you want a high-definition movie player under your TV set its...
The worst part though is that there is only a very limited range of Blu-ray titles on sale at the moment. So this player is very much for early adopters who are going to commit to the format no matter what. Unless you have to be first on the block wit...

Blu-ray is exciting, and the Samsung BD-P1000 is an excellent introduction to it. I would just implore Samsung to upgrade the unit to provide 1080p24 output.
Excellent support for high definition video via Blu-ray. Better performance with DVDs than most DVD players.
The Blu-ray player needs a 1080p24 output mode to eliminate jerkiness in pans. Should be able to switch off HDMI audio output.

I see HD DVD and Blu-ray as high-definition disc formats that have more similarities than differences, but it will be a while before we see one device that plays nicely with both. HD DVD made headlines by being the first one to market, with the Toshi...
Supports 1080p digital video output. Good performance with standard DVD movies. Integrated memory card readers for viewing digital images.
It costs twice as much as the least expensive HD DVD player. The remote suffers from small buttons and an odd button layout. Sluggish start-up and load times, but slightly better than current HD DVD players.
The stylish Samsung BD-P1000 is a capable disc player that unleashes the full capabilities of the Blu-ray format. Unfortunately, the initial Blu-ray titles are a reminder that there are lots of older films that need some TLC before they will look great...
