I know all you $1,000 Oppo fans are going to sneer at this, and that's ok.
A few months ago, I was reading a basic comparison of several Blu Ray players, rating sound quality, picture quality, and disc compatibility, etc. I was surprised to see that Samsung has a player which was rated excellent in both picture quality and disc compatibility and very good in audio, for about $250 - $300. Sorry I don't remember the model or where I read it (maybe Cnet?). Samsung has been coming on strong with great products and prices in a number of categories, from cell phones to audio to refrigerators.
I don't have a Blu Ray player yet, but am thinking of getting one in the near future.
Thoughts on the Samsung players? Any experience with it?
