The clean and uncluttered front folds down to give access to the disc loading tray, the playback buttons, and a USB port. Underneath the stylish exterior is a next generation Blu-ray player that not only plays Blu-ray and DVD discs with great skill and quality, but can also play movies directly from the internet giving you access to over 12,000 films from the Netflix movie database. It comes ready to plug in to your home network, or you can purchase an additional wireless dongle (available from Amazon.co.uk) and do it all without wires.

The Samsung P1600 sports the usual optical, component, and HDMI connections on the rear but with an additional USB port and the Ethernet port for your network cable or wireless dongle.

Things to consider before you buy Samsung BD-P1600

The main drawback with this Blu-ray player is the lack of the wireless dongle which would really have put it ahead of the game. Realistically most people aren’t going to run an additional network cable to the player so it is a shame it wasn’t included in the box.

Owners of the P1600 have already been very impressed with the quick loading times of this Blu-ray player, and the smart design, and the great price make it a real contender. The thing we love most about the P1600 is it’s next generation capabilities. Being able to stream movies to your player gives us a massive film library literally at our fingertips and takes this player to the next level of digital movies. A great future-proof buy.
