Abstract: It seems no matter who I talk to nowadays one question repeatedly pops up, "So what do you think about this looming format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray?" Either that or I get asked what I think about one format or the other. While I definitely have ...
Abstract: The war begins. . .with a whimper. With more than a little excitement, I hooked up the Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc player. Here it is, the first Blu-ray player to hit the world. I put it right on top of the Toshiba HD-XA1 HD DVD player, which Im s...

Supports 1080p digital video output. Good performance with standard DVD movies. Integrated memory card readers for viewing digital images.

Plays Blu-ray discs in true high-definition; upscales standard DVDs to high-definition; sleek design; 1080p output via HDMI.
Twice as expensive as the competing HD-DVD player; very few titles available at launch; video quality on initial titles less impressive than HD-DVD versions; slower load times; some operational bugs.
With video quality thats impressive but still not as good as its HD-DVD competition, the costly Samsung BD-P1000 will appeal only to those willing to risk a grand on a first-generation player in the middle of a format war.
Abstract: Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray Disc Player Thomas J. Norton, July, 2006 The battle is starting to heat up. HD DVD has been out for just two months. Two weeks ago Samsung launched its first Blu-ray player, the BD-P1000 ($1,000), the subject of this report. ...
Abstract: If you are starved for HDTV and have the money and equipment, I say jump on board and support Blu-ray and HD DVD both. If you are looking at the two formats side by side and want to put your money into one of them, I’d say that your decision should...
