Excellent image quality with both Blu-ray discs and DVDs, high-definition audio decoding, good operational speed

Build quality could be better, flip-down front is annoying

Samsung’s BD-P1600 does everything you could want a Blu-ray player to do. Great picture quality, plenty of audio decoding support and a speedy interface combine to make it an easy choice. Our only concerns (the build quality and the design) are minor.

Fine value ; strong spec ; handles motion well with SD or HD ; decent colours ; fast loading times

Lacks detail compared to best ; spend more for more greater dynamics

There are nearly always compromises with budget kit: the BD-P1600 is no different but it remains a compelling option on a budget

Fast loading times ; BD Live ; Good value ; Decent pictures

Odd design ; Tricky BD Live setup process ; Can't stream digital media

Fully-featured Blu-ray deck with good value pictures, but let down by tricky and impractical BD Live setup

Fast start-up. Supports Netflix and Pandora multimedia streaming. Updated remote and menus.

Add-on memory required for BD-Live support. Minor BD Live compatibility issue.

Very good imaging on Blu-ray discs ; Netflix and Pandora streaming

Annoying flap covers front panel controls ; Disappointing imaging on DVDs

Despite incorporating a few bone-headed design decisions, the Samsung BD-P1600 is a very good player for its price.

BD-Live, Wi-Fi possibilities, DivX playback, USB hubs

Wi-Fi dongle is a £50 upgrade, no home networking

BD-Live is a bit messy and the Wireless dingle costs more than it should, but the BD-P1600 gives a good picture performance. Add some decent digital media compatibility and you’ve got a versatile deck that will suit anyone wanting to a Blu-ray player...

The BD-P1600 produces a decent picture, but its biggest pull is without doubt the rapid loading times

The Samsung BD-P1600 produces very good images, and by Blu-ray standards it's as fast as lightning. But problems with upscaling DVDs and some unwise design decisions prevent it from being a great player.
