Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-Ray Review

Extremely fast operation ; Superior Blu-ray images

Physically clumsy ; Difficult networking setup

The Samsung BD-P3600 delivers great-looking images and Internet streaming. But it should be a lot easier to use than it is in practice.

Samsung BD-P3600 - Blu-ray disc player review: Samsung BD-P3600 - Blu-ray disc player

Samsung BD-P3600 - Blu-ray disc player

Excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies; Wi-Fi USB dongle included; Netflix and Pandora streaming; superfast operational speed and disc loading; Profile 2.0 compatible; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; 7.1 analog outputs;...

Costs as much as a PS3; front-panel controls are located on top of player; PC streaming setup is difficult.

The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for standalone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features, and excellent image quality.

Samsung BD-P 3600

Excellent 24p movie picture., Superb DVD playback., Automatic film-mode detection for DVDs., Fast disc drive., BD-Live and PC streaming - even via wireless., Bitstream HD audio.

Awkward network operation., Blurry JPEG photo playback.

The BD-P 3600 shines during Blu-ray and DVD playback, producing pictures of outstanding quality - in the most important respects, therefore, the player does a great job. The speedy disc drive also impressed, as did the flexibility of the audio section....

Review: Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray player

This Blu-ray player delivers great-looking images and Internet streaming. But it falls down on the little things.

Extremely fast operation ; Superior Blu-ray images

Difficult networking setup ; Physically clumsy

Connect the BD-P3600 to your home network (and thus to the Internet) and you get four sources for streaming entertainment. One of the four, Blockbuster on Demand, lets you rent or buy the right to stream the movies of your choice (with TV shows...

Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-Ray Player

Lots useful of features, excellent quality and wireless

Wireless setup is not clear, upgrades take forever and price was too high when I bought it

Great for playing Blu-Ray, DVD's and Netflix. Upgrades could be faster.

Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray Player

Samsung has delivered some solid Blu-ray offerings in the past. The company hasn't been shy about including high-end video processing, and it's quick to adopt new features for its lineup. The new BD-P3600 is no exception. It comes with $100 tacked onto...

The setup menus are very simple and a bit lacking in terms of tweakability compared with the Panasonic DMP-BD60. I was also disappointed to find that some of the audio options default to undesirable settings. For example, dynamic range compression...
