Reviews of the Samsung BD-P2500
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs; Profile 2.0 compliant; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, plus bit-stream output; Netflix streaming; 1GB onboard memory; 7.1 analog audio outputs.
The Bad: PlayStation 3 may still offer a better value for some buyers; some disc compatibility issues; relatively slow loading times.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung BD-P2500 adds Netflix to an already well-featured and top-performing Blu-ray player, with only some minor disc compatibility issues giving us pause.
