Overall, I was highly impressed with the BD-P1200’s performance, especially the razor-sharp detail. True, the intermittent crashes and audio drop-outs exhibited by the first review unit did not inspire confidence, but the second unit didn’t have these ...
Very goodlooking package with high gloss finish, Plenty of connection options, Beautiful onscreen menu and user interface, Fantastic HD production
Firmware update was an unnecessary hassle, Slow disc loading is incredibly frustrating, Physically larger than I would have liked
Cosmetically, the Samsung BD-P1200 is a beauty. The high gloss finish is absolutely sensational to look at and it will surely look great next to your huge Samsung HDTV LCD. The blue lighting is a great touch and I liked the hinged door for the disc tr...
No HDMI/component cables included (BIG DISADVANTAGE), No memory card reader, Lacks the overall aesthetics of the BDP1000, Doesnt take full advantage of the HDMI v1.3 standard upgrade
Samsungs BD-P1200 is a step forward and a slight step back. Sure it now carries the new HDMI v1.3 standard, but it fails to take full advantage of what the new specification has to offer. In addition, although a lot of the bugs were worked out, some...
Abstract: I’m sure you are all aware of the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD. Both sides seem to be dug in for a hard-fought and lengthy battle. Some consumers, still bitter over the last format war between SACD and DVD-Audio, are choosing to sit this on...

Abstract: Aug 10, 2007 Sony may be the driving force behind Blu-ray technology, but Samsung has taken the lead in manufacturing the players. They unveiled the very first Blu-ray player, and now theyre the first to market a second-generation player. But make no...
Abstract: Well, as it turned out, the BD-P1000 wasn’t quite ready for the bright lights of Broadway. In addition to some bugs with the HDMI interface and sparse documentation on 1080p/60 output mode, the player also had a serious image softness problem, cause...
Abstract: Samsung’s second-generation Blu-ray player, the BD-P1200, is quite simply one of the best video sources I have ever seen. I think the thing that stands out most to me is this player’s ability to portray the texture of items in films. Be it dur...
Incredible picture quality, Excellent sound quality, Connections for nearly any A/V configuration, Internet connectivity via Ethernet, Blue LEDs are still cool
Struggles with loading some Bluray Discs, Mildly irresponsive remote control, No “pillarbox” for 4:3 SD content,
Samsung has certainly listened to the masses when it comes to improving their Blu-ray technology. Video quality was at the top of their list and they certainly delivered. Though, I was never unhappy with the video quality of the BD-P1000, it’s refre...
Abstract: Samsung was first to market with a Blu-ray player in mid 2006: the BD-P1000. While its no secret that that player drew serious criticisms from us, and others, its also true that the first batch of Blu-ray titles did it no favors. With the BD-P1200,...
