Summary: Blu Ray in motion.
Comment: I recently purchased the Samsung BD-P 1500 Player. I was very impressed with it's video and audio output. The unit is very user friendly and will recommend it to anyone who is contemplating purchasing a Blu Ray Player. You will not regret the investment.

Summary: Good secondary player!!
Comment: I've owned the unit for about a month now and it is a very good player for my second HDTV. I use a custom built HTPC and PS3 in my main home theater, and bought this one for my secondary room. The load times are a bit slow, but the performance is great as well as the price point. The unit is a bit too slow for blu-ray disk based games like Dragons Lair, but for basic playback it is a good buy. The remote is the same as most Samsung remotes, long and uncomfortable, but most of us use a universal anyway so.....

Summary: Played DVD's, but would not play Blu-Ray
Comment: Amazon was great, got me the unit in 2-days. Everything was great, it worked on all CD's and DVDs so the kids where happy. But then my box set of 007 Blu-ray disk arrived and they didn't work. I tried three disk and they would load the menu, I choose something, and then it would restart the menu. I was lucky to have a wireless internal connection from my DVR sitting right there and decided to try to upgrade the firmware. It took 3 reboots to get the network working on the player, but it finally connected their site. I took over an hour to download the firmware, and my DSL line is 1-MB/s. When the upgrade finished the BLu-Ray disk started to work. It's a below average player and I shouldn't have to upgrade it to play Blu-Ray disk. I should have stuck with plan A, just buy a PS3.

Summary: Blu-Ray does not limit you to Blu-Ray!
Comment: I have a 2-year old Sony NS3100ES receiver that plays every format and outputs stereo or 5.1 surround sound. The picture is clear and the sound is impeccable. Why would I go out and spend literally $300 to $1,000 for a player that plays Blu-Ray discs?
Samsung's BD-P1500 is sleek, compact and has so many more functions than other players. It will play regular DVD's, CD', SACD's, DVD-R, DVD-RW, home made DVD's and much more. The HDMI to HDMI cable is the best to use if your television has that port, as it carries the most data most efficiently (you can buy it here on Amazon). You can also connect to a regular TV or sound system with R/B/G cables (video) and R/W cables (audio). Whatever connection or system, it will play stereo to surround sound.
The entire world of Blu-Ray discs is another topic. They have a new optical disc format with over five and a half times the storage capacity of a standard DVD. This means you have more data and extras (like a storyboard guide at the bottom of the screen, display the title list, repeat play to specific points on the Blu-Ray disc, changing the camera angel of the movie, `bookmark' a specific scene spot and much more). There is also a LAN/Ethernet terminal output for updating software from Samsung (most electronic companies upgrade to improve quality over time).
The biggest selling point of all is the massive amount of data that can be played compared to regular DVD players. The picture is SO amazingly crisp (a Full 1080/24p True Cinema picture), I'd much rather prefer viewing a Blu-Ray disc over a regular DVD. The sound is crystal clear (Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD), either in stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 (something I never thought could be improved upon with my Sony DVD player). Now at this price, you can have the new experience of Blu-Ray entertainment. It seems that prices do come down and quality does go up.
Note: Most of the on-line rental companies (Netflix, Blockbuster, etc.) have most of the Blu-Ray discs in stock!
