    CNET Review

    April 2, 2009

    The Good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies; Wi-Fi USB dongle included; Netflix and Pandora streaming; superfast operational speed and disc loading; Profile 2.0 compatible; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; 7.1 analog outputs; 1GB onboard memory; streams media off connected PC.

    The Bad: Costs as much as a PS3; front-panel controls are located on top of player; PC streaming setup is difficult.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for standalone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features, and excellent image quality.

    Review Summary: The Panasonic DMP-BD80 and Pioneer BDP-LX08 just have the edge on picture depth and precision, but overall this is a competent and feature-packed deck with a surprisingly low price tag
