Samsung BD-C6500: Great Image Quality, a Few Design Quirks

 

Just about any way you look at it, the Samsung BD-C6500 is a first-rate Blu-ray player. The picture quality is among the best we've seen to date, it has audio options that are particularly friendly to older home theater surround-sound systems, and it...

Superb image quality ; Excellent selection of Internet services ; Well-designed remote and menus ; Audio reencode for older surround receivers ; Great-looking menus

Nonresponsive front-panel buttons ; Info button not useful

A few annoying design quirks can't take the shine out of the otherwise excellent, reasonably priced Samsung BD-C6500.

Samsung BD-C6500

 

Samsung's BD-C6500 Blu-ray player has excellent image quality, outstanding features for the price, and a slick design--we just wish it were a little faster.

Excellent Blu-ray image quality; Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, and Pandora media streaming, plus the expandable Samsung Apps platform; built-in Wi-Fi; 7.1 analog audio outputs; 1GB onboard storage.

Sluggish operational speed; competing Sony players offer 3D for about the same price; last year's Samsung Blu-ray players had questionable reliability.

Samsung BD-C6500

 

There's a lot to like about Samsung's BD-C6500, from its reasonable $249.99 (list) price to its wealth of Web apps and widgets, and excellent HD picture quality. Throw in integrated Wi-Fi, lots of A/V ports, 1GB of internal memory, and a cleverly...

Top-notch HD image quality. Robust selection of Web features including games. Includes 1GB of internal memory. Eight analog outputs for connecting to a 7.1 surround sound system. Supports DLNA

Some SD-upconversion artifacts. Limited front panel controls

Samsung's BD-C6500 offers more interactive and connectivity features than other Blu-ray players in its class, and it delivers stunning high-definition picture quality.

Review: Samsung BD-C6500 Blu-ray player

 

A few annoying design quirks can't take the shine out of the otherwise excellent, reasonably priced Samsung BD-C6500.

Great pictures should be accompanied by great sound, of course. Any Blu-ray player can send high-quality audio to a modern, HDMI-equipped surround receiver; it just has to send the bitstream down the wire. But older, pre-HDMI receivers can't decode the...

Samsung BD-C6500

 

The excellent features of the Samsung BD-C6500 made it very hard to choose which product would be ranked first in our Blu-ray player reviews. It has all of the latest audio and video technology that techies everywhere drool over, at a fairly reasonable...

It has 1GB of built-in storage and a USB port for saving external content

An SD card slot is the only item missing from this Blu-ray Player

It is slightly more expensive than the Sony BDP-S370 with the same features.

Samsung BD-C6500

 

The Samsung BD-C6500 is one of four new blu-ray players in Samsung's line-up for 2010. Compared to the BD-P3600 that it is replacing, Samsung has made significant strides in some areas of performance and added some new features.

Samsung must be lauded for its efforts in advancing player design, performance and speed with improved energy efficiency. In a strong field of contenders the Samsung BD-C6500 stands out with an ample set of features, performance and technological...
