Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray Disc Player
the future is the color blue
After doing two weeks of research on Blu-Ray technology, I am proud to be the owner of the new Samsung BD P1000.  I hooked in up to my Samsung 42\\" Plasma via HDMI and I was blown away by the sharper images, deep blacks, and booming audio.  Wow!  I was a little hesitant about the purchase price, but find the results to be worth the pricetag.  It is an elegant looking piece of hardware.  Quite an upgrade from my previous Hi-Def Conversion DVD player in design and output.  I was an early DVD adopter and have enjoyed the technology growth over the years, so it made sense to me to adopt Blu-Ray early on and follow the same path.  I can't wait to introduce my friends to this wonderful new format.  All of the negative reviews that I have read on this site and others about Blu-Ray are completely unfounded.  They reflect early HD DVD adopters that are threatened by the introduction of a competing format.  This new Hi Def technology is not for everyone yet.  But in due time, I think the Blu-Ray format will find its way into many homes.
