A Samsung Blu-ray Player Turns Your TV into a Smart TV

  • Published: May 25, 2011

Breathtakingly realistic HD images, theater-caliber sound and web-connected apps at your fingertips are just some of the reasons a Samsung Blu-ray™ Player is the ultimate way to watch movies, your favorite TV episodes and more.

A More Intelligent Experience

Samsung's Smart Blu-ray™ Players are loaded with premium web-connected apps that put a world of entertainment and information at your fingertips. Instantly stream movies from Netflix, Blockbuster, CinemaNow and VUDU and watch TV episodes from Hulu Plus. Catch videos on YouTube, create customized stations of your favorite music on Pandora, and keep up with your social network on Facebook and Twitter, all right on your TV with an internet/wireless connection.

The Your Video engine lets you enjoy a whole library of movies and TV shows, and will even create personalized recommendations from your on-demand services. With the Search All feature, you can find content from your apps and other connected devices via Samsung's exclusive AllShare™ DLNA Technology. It's all possible with a Samsung Smart Blu-ray Player—you won't believe that one device can do so much.

The Next Dimension of Entertainment

Samsung Blu-ray Players deliver stunning Full HD images even in 2D, while 3D takes entertainment to the next dimension. Watch 3D-native content with amazing depth and clarity, or upconvert premium-quality 2D content to 3D for a totally immersive viewing experience.* Either way, you'll enjoy breathtaking 1080p Full HD—the highest-quality HD technology available from any device.

Sharper-Than-Life Picture

With up to seven times the resolution of DVDs, only Blu-ray Discs can produce the best-possible picture quality for an HDTV—better than HD cable or satellite broadcasts. You'll never miss a thing, thanks to 1080p Full HD images and color so dazzling you have to see it to believe it. Special effects come to blazing life, action scenes are more explosive than ever, and you'll feel as if your favorite stars are right there in front of you.

Sound That Rivals the Theater

Blu-ray's high-capacity format provides a theater-caliber sound experience at home. Enjoy greater depth of sound, better support for additional speakers, and support for genuine theatrical surround-sound formats like Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Teamed up with your Samsung TV or home theater system, there are no limitations on Blu-ray's incredible sound quality.

Advanced Technology For Superior Performance

Ultra-Fast Play ramps up the load time on discs, so there's almost no waiting after insertion. Instead of listening to your disc spin, you'll cut to the action faster than ever before.

 

 

Built-in Wifi means that you don't need any additional cables or wires to connect to your wireless network. Access Samsung Apps and other Smart Blu-ray features with no strings attached.**

 

Samsung's AllShare Technology lets you sync up many of your DLNA-enabled devices, including your PC, camera, tablet and phone. Access and share all of your music, movies and photos right on your TV through your Samsung Blu-ray Player.

 

 

 

Ultra-Stylish Design

Samsung Blu-ray Players look as great as they perform, with sleek, streamlined design that will enhance any room in your home. Additional design features including a high-gloss finish and integrated blue disc lighting effect create a look that's attention-getting all on its own. For the ultimate in style and versatility, the elegant 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Player (BD-D7500) is wall-mountable and includes touch sensor controls.

 

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Okay, you're sold...but now you're thinking that you'll have to replace all of those great movies and TV series you have on DVD, right? Don't worry…while it's true that only Blu-ray discs will give you the best-possible sound and Full HD picture quality, Samsung Blu-ray Players can also play your entire library of DVDs, and CDs too, so you don't have to upgrade everything all at once. Although, with the amazing features and performance of Blu-ray discs, you may very well want to anyway!

  • I have been tossing the idea of not worrying over a smart tv and opting for a blu ray with apps. Not sure judging by some comments i have read.
