Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray Disc Player
Great Player
Can't explain some of the poor reviews other than maybe some people don't know how to properly setup the player.  If you use Standard DVD's and you hookup the system using composite or Y/C connections, the piture will obviously not look as good.  For optimum results you need to use HDMI connection, which looks incredible.  Go to a Best Buy and see it in action and you WILL see the difference.  I was leaning toward the Sony player, but it won't be out for a few more weeks and this player has a card reader which the Sony lacks.   <br />Being a person who works with video everyday, I can tell you this is one Awesome system.  I wonder if the negative comments are coming from the HD-DVD camp???
