We spend ages looking for the best tv deals, what cheap televisions are on sale and where to buy them but without a good HD source we can’t truly appreciate the HD video content they can beam into our living rooms. This Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player not only lets us have that HD quality but the DVD player itself is a gorgeous looking piece of design itself, personally I wouldn’t hide the BD-P4600 Blu-Ray player away like I do with my Sky+ box.
Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD Player
In-fact I can’t think of any other Blu-Ray DVD player that can match if for looks? A number of shops and online retailers have also been having some special deals on the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player making it significantly cheaper than when it was originally released. There’s actually a lot of good Blu-Ray DVD player deals around at the moment and they will likely be one of this Christmas’s biggest sellers.
The reviews for the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD disc player have also been very good from what I’ve found around the internet. Here’s some user reviews from around the net.
Play.com 5 out of 5 Stars from 4 Reviewers one of which said:
“This is a brilliant machine – I bought this and the new LED samsung. Both hung on my wall and looks stunning. The quality of the blu ray is exceptional, miles better than the ps3 which i have as well. I cannot say a bad word about it and when connected to my sound system it is amazing!! The DVD playback is upscaled but I am not a fan of any upscaled DVDs and most of mine are now redundant as I wont watch them. It is good, but once you made the ‘switch’ it never looks as good.”
On Amazon the users there have given the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player on average 4 out of 5 stars from 18 customer reviews, the best of which I think is:
“I swore that after some bad experiences with Samsung DVD/BD players I would never buy another one, however, whilst perusing the net for one my eyes were hooked by this sweet looking product. When I saw that it was Samsung I hesitated only slightly before my penchant for the aesthetic won the day! If you have a Samsung LCD or LED then this is a must buy for you – instant recognition when you turn the player on – can use either remote for TV/DVD – and it completes the look and makes an unbeatable eye-catching focus for any lounge.”
Now on to the industry reviews for the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player starting with trustedreviews which don’t give a review score but a verdict part of which says:
“With the BD-P4600, Samsung has created the most distinctive-looking Blu-ray player to date, with a gorgeous wall-mountable design that will please those who like their players to look as good as the pictures they provide. There’s much to admire on the inside too, such as WiFi support and built-in memory, which makes it easier than ever to experience Blu-ray’s interactive extras, while the swift disc loading times and wide-ranging format support are added bonuses (although video-on-demand would have been the icing on the cake).”
Cnet UK has another pretty in-depth review of the Samsung BD-p4600 Blu-Ray player but it is worth remembering they reviewed it when it was £100 more expensive than it is now. They gave it a review score of 8.7 and said:
“Ultimately, the Samsung BD-P4600 may be sunk by its price. Sony and Panasonic both have excellent models on the market that cost less and have a more traditional form factor. But that’s not to say the BD-P4600 isn’t a great player, because it is. We love the speed with which it operates, and we also like the picture and sound quality. Overall, it’s a good package and certainly a great choice for Samsung TV owners who have their set mounted on a wall”
Techradar also have a good review of this Bluray DVD player again giving it a good score of 4 out of 5 stars (review scores seem pretty consistent). Part of the summary says:
“For its few faults, this is a neat piece of BD technology from Samsung. It looks like the kind of lifestyle proposition non-techies might go for, and presents an interesting solution for anyone with a wall-mounted flatscreen, particularly if you go for the wireless dongle option.”
