Review : Samsung Blu-ray player BD-P1500

This &lt;b&gt;Blu-ray&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;player&lt;/b&gt; was the one I used with the recently reviewed &lt;b&gt;Samsung&lt;/b&gt; Series 6 Full HD LE32A656 however any full HD TV should allow you to see the full glory of &lt;b&gt;Blu-ray&lt;/b&gt;. To hear the full cinema sound quality you will need a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system.

The BD-P1500 is Samsung's fourth-generation Blu-ray player. Its elegant high-gloss, piano-black chassis is sure to stand out in any equipment rack. While dedicated Blu-ray players haven't reached rock-bottom prices yet, the BD-P1500 is Samsung's least expensive to date at $400, $150 less then the BD-P1400 that came out less than a year ago. The BD-P1500 is not the holy grail of Blu-ray players, but its feature set and lower price could be just what you've been waiting for.
