HDTV Reviews

The BD-P1000 Blu-ray video quality was excellent. No surprise there. The only Blu-ray software I had was Memento–the Blu-ray disc that’ll be included inside the box of every BD-P1000–and a special demo disc that contained a few trailers, a Black Crowes concert, and some great close-up footage of intricate windup watches (?). I viewed all material on a calibrated, 56-inch, 1080p Samsung DLP, the HL-S5687W, in a darkened room with the player set to 1080p output mode.

I ran the BD-P1000 through a few tests from the HQV disc, which we use to help determine how well players convert standard DVDs to higher resolutions via HDMI. The player delivered all of the resolution on the disc, smoothed jagged lines nicely, and engaged 2:3 pull-down relatively quickly. I didn’t have a chance to test other resolutions or outputs, just DVD upconverted to 1080p via HDMI.
