Not everyone who has a 1080P tv has become an early adopter for HDDVD or BluRay format. For me, I rather wait to see who wins and for a price drop so I am not spending $600 on a hi-def player. Thats where the Samsung comes in. I am good with playing up-converted movies on my new HD tv and the fact it stretches its legs to full 1080p is a plus.
Pros: Great price, great functionality.
Cons: HDMI cable not included BUT thankfully I had one laying around.
Just purchased the 1080P7 HD player and played my standard DVDs back on a Samsung 46" LCD 1080p HDTV, and the quality was 100% better than my old DVD player. The colors were also much better, less grainy, and it is almost HD.
Toshiba's XD-E500 provides a simple way to make humble DVDs look a bit better, but don't be fooled into thinking that it'll magically turn them into Blu-Ray discs.
Even the lowest-end notebooks on the market these days sport DVD-ROM drives, so why shouldn't you just plump for a notebook to meet your portable DVD watching needs?
Verbatim today announced the immediate availability of blank BD-R and BD-RW Blu-ray media, joining TDK and Sony as the three manufacturers shipping blank Blu-ray discs to Australia at this point in time. In contrast, HD-DVD blanks are still yet to arrive.
In an industry first, all of the commercial TV broadcasters have announced today they will provide an electronic program guide to all manufacturers of free-to-air personal video recorders and similar services.
