Samsung BD-P1600 Blu-Ray Disc Player

Average User Review: Samsung BD P1600 User Review

The BD-P1600 is brand new to the market and it has a lot of new features last year’s equivalent model (bd-p1500) doesn’t have. First of all, it is a lot smaller than last year’s models. Although the BD-P1500 was fast, this new BD-1600 is even faster. It take seconds to get “up & running”.

This blu-ray player is definitely easy to install and setup. The interface looks cool, sophisticated and has a high-tech feel to it. The menus look good and are easy to navigate as well.

If you are Netflix member, live becomes a lot easier with this new Samsung Blu-ray player. You can instantly stream your favorite movies and TV shows. Once selected, movies will begin playing in as little as 30 seconds. With the included remote control, Netflix members can browse and make selections right on the TV screen, read synopses and rate movies, and fast-forward or rewind the video stream. And here is another popular feature: the BD-P1600 can stream music though the popular Pandora music service.

This Samsung Blu-ray player was designed to serve you for a long time, no matter what new standards the industry sets. It’s equipped with an Ethernet connection. That allows you to easily download the latest firmware upgrade and add new features.

With all the technical details, we all tend to forget why one would buy a blu-ray player in the first place: quality pictures and supreme sound. That’s exactly what this Samsung BD-P1600 delivers – along with great features.

The BD-P1600 is on the market now for a few weeks and it has been climbing the Amazon Best Sellers list with incredible speed. At the time of writing, it’s #3 with the Samsung BD-P 1500 still at #1.

There is no telling if the 1600 will make it all the way to the top. There has been some technical issues (which seems to be resolved now) and then there is the price. Is the Samsung BD P1600 worth the extra $50 - $60?

We think it is. This blu-ray player is not just delivering supreme quality for an affordable price, it is also “future proof”. And that’s probably the best feature it has to offer.
