    CNET Review

    May 4, 2009

    The Good: Unique design; can be wall-mounted; 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; 1GB onboard memory; streams media off connected PC.

    The Bad: Costs more than a PS3; unusual design won't fit all decors; compartment for connectivity is cramped; PC streaming setup is difficult.

    The Bottom Line: Samsung's BD-P4600 Blu-ray player is packed with features and its unique design makes it wall-mountable, but most buyers will be better off with the step-down BD-P3600.

    Review Summary: Unusually, the BD-P4600 has two USB ports - one you can use to add memory for downloading BD-Live content (though it already has 1GB on board), the other you can use for a Wi-Fi dongle to give yourself wireless access to the internet. That aside, it's ...

    Review Summary: First to market with a Blu-ray player and now well into its third generation of machines, Samsung likes to think it's taking the lead in Blu-ray hardware.
