Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-Ray Player Review

The Samsung BD-1500 blu ray player has satisfied my basic wants in a blu ray player quite nicely.  It was well within my price range, I paid $187 for the player and four discs, it loads blu ray discs quickly enough that I don't get frustrated, and the picture I get is utterly fantastic.

My only complaint is one that may even apply to all players, I don't know, this is the first I've owned, and the complaint is that it takes longer than I would like to switch between menus and to get to the menu choice I've made.  For example, if I choose Special Features, it spins for a bit, then the screen blanks for a few seconds, then it spins again, and the special features appear.  Then when I choose which special feature I want to see, it spins for a bit, the screen goes blank for a few seconds, it spins again before starting the feature.

Overall I have greatly enjoyed watching movies on my player, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good basic player who didn't need lots of bells and whistles.
