Samsung’s BD-P1000 is the first DVD player that uses Blu-ray, the high-def DVD format developed by Sony and backed by Disney and other studios.

The Blu-ray format is one of two competing high-definition DVD formats that is available to consumers.

The Samsung Blu-ray player gives you full 1080p native output and up-conversion for your current catalog.

Both systems utilize new Blue Laser and video compression technology to achieve high definition video playback on the same size disc as a standard DVD.

The BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player from Samsung, and the first Blu-ray player to reach the U.S. market.

As expected, on all sets, the Blu-ray movies provided a noticeably more detailed image than their standard-DVD versions did.

This Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray DVD Player plays high-def Blu-Ray discs with 5 times the resolution of standard DVDs!

In addition to Blu-ray and standard DVDs, the Samsung plays audio CDs, and reads JPEG photo image files and MP3 music files burned on CDs, DVDs, and memory cards.

And the unique 11-in-2 multi-format memory card slot displays 3-megapixel and larger images in full hi-def resolution.
