Review: Samsung BD-P4600

[Editor's note: we tested a new version of this player with an updated software. The Netflix streaming worked perfectly. Because of this we upped the...

High-end, spacey design. Loaded with features, including ability to mount it on the wall. Loads Blu-ray discs exceptionally fast. High-quality playback

Complicated initial setup. Cramped underside port-connection compartment. Overpriced for what it delivers

Samsung BD-P4600 - Blu-ray disc player review: Samsung BD-P4600 - Blu-ray disc player

Samsung BD-P4600 - Blu-ray disc player

Unique design; can be wall-mounted; 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...

Costs more than a PS3; unusual design won't fit all decors; compartment for connectivity is cramped; PC streaming setup is difficult.

Samsung's BD-P4600 Blu-ray player is packed with features and its unique design makes it wall-mountable, but most buyers will be better off with the step-down BD-P3600.

Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-ray Player

Back in 2006, Samsung was the first manufacturer to release a Blu-ray player to the masses. It contributed to the format's less than stellar launch reportedly due to an incorrect default setting in the video processing chip set used in the player.

Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-ray Player

Once connected, the player informed me that a new update was available (1.14) and asked me if I wanted to update the firmware. It took more than 17 minutes, which seemed like an eternity compared with my OPPO, which takes less than five minutes.
