With the BD-P1580, Samsung have moved the budget Blu-ray game on considerably.

As youd expect from any Blu-ray player, the picture quality is superb. The 1080p output ensures crisp detail and subtle colour shading not seen on lower resolution formats.

Added to this exceptional picture quality is a long list of features. When used with an internet connection and additional memory, BD-Live 2.0 lets you take full advantage of interactive sites with downloadable content. Furthermore, the Ethernet connection also allows you to download firmware upgrades to ensure that your BD-P1580 is also running to its full potential. More great news for movie fans is that the Samsung BDP1580 is compatible with Netflix downloading service. This lets you instantly stream films from a choice of over 12,000 titles.

With full 1080p Upscaling for your existing DVDs, the BDP1580 doesnt ignore your existing film collection. Although not as good as Blu-ray, upscaling makes your DVDs look the best they can on 1080p Ready TVs.
