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 review: Samsung BD-C6500

Samsung BD-C6500

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'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.

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...
