Bill H. Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I saw it on the AVS form in a blog . It was linked to amazon.com for sale for 215.00. If you could get it for 200 I don't think you'd go wrong. jmho.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Check the reviews on Best Buy, maybe Newegg. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM3 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have been reading a lot on the forums at www.avsforum.com and www.blu-ray.com This player is on my short list. A couple of weeks ago CC had this player on sale with the Blu ray Matrix Trilogy. Panasonic has just released a model 35 but I can't exactly remember the model number. It's $300 though.

picky Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 This review on CNET says somewhat nasty things about it: http://reviews.cnet.com/video-players-and-recorders/samsung-bd-p1500/4505-6463_7-32815244.html I don't know when this particular model was released, but I have read and heard first-hand customer accounts of there being many issues with the earlier Samsun Blu-Ray models. My daughter's boyfriend tried 3 different units (I don't recall the model) from Best Buy back in December and wound up getting his money back. He was furious and swore he'd never buy a Samsung Blu-Ray again, yet he loves his Samsung 60" plasma display. He's had zero problems with that. I'm sure some folks have had great luck with some of them but I recommend you find out when this model was first released and only consider the newer model Samsungs. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Does anyone have an opinion on the Samsung Blue Ray Disc Player Model # BD-P1500 ? I own the previous model the BD-P1400 and like it a lot. The new 1500 does not output the new codecs on analog, other than the two channel outputs... something to consider if you plan on using it with an AVR or processor that does not decode the new codecs and therefore require the use of the 5.1 outputs. It will pass the codecs on HDMI though. Video and sound quality are stunning from the 1400 and the load speed is among the fastest I've seen. If you don't require analog 5.1 output, then I think it's a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If you care about the analog outs, faster load time (~20 seconds), and great upconvert feature (if you own alot of DVDs), then it's worth considering the Panasonic DMP-BD55K.
