Tyler

I'm planing on buying a Blu-Ray player this weekend and I'm gonna trade-in my DVD's for Blu-Ray movies. What are some good ones to get? My favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Action. Obviously I'm gonna get a few that I had on DVD.

1. Super 8
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
3. X-Men: First Class
4. The Thing
5. Sherlock Holmes
6. Hot Tub Time Machine
7. Paul
8. Top Gun
9. Tron Legacy
10. Independence Day

Top 5 boxsets to get...

1. Star Wars
2. Pirates of The Caribbean
3. Harry Potter
4. Lord of The Rings
5. Fast and The Furious.

Am I missing any?

What is the best brand to buy for blue-ray player?

health guy

Not wanting to spend too much on a blue-ray player, what are brands to go with and which model.

Answer
The Samsung BD-P1500 is a great first blu ray player. I have the player connected via optical to my Denon receiver and via HDMI to my Pioneer PDP-5080HD and it looks and sounds fantastic. I also have a Toshiba HD-A3 and the PQ is very comparable. I do like that I can output a 1080p 24hz signal to my display which is a plus over my A3. I have had zero issues with BD playback. It works flawlessly. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that there is no fan in the player. Instead of a fan it uses the metal bottom as a heat sink and it can get very hot. I wouldn't recommend keeping the player in a closed cabinet because it can get very hot after extended use. Overall, this is a great player and a bargain at the current price.
