Recently announced HT-BD2S is available now, and for people who are still wondering which is better and occupied with general problem which Blu-ray will be right for them we studied new comer attentively.
We can affirm that
Samsung HT-BD2S is a new modification of HT-BD2T model, but here we can see very few things, which is making second edition different. Here they used two small sized satellite speakers. But truly saying, that reduced size of
speakers in not playing here a great role of big improvement, because even if they will
sound better comparing with BD2S tallboys, it will still be influenced by the same shortfalls as old model do. To be more exact they are: due to old profile 1.0, it will be still slow loading Blu-ray player, without option “picture-in-picture”, without online features. Outputs for new Samsung
gadgets include HDMI, S-video, composite
video, channel for audio 7.1. Quantity of inputs is limited and do not provide the holder with big space for expansion and experiments.
The gadget look quite attractive option for people who is looking for “everything included” home Blu-ray theatre, and who is not sad about possible “extra whistling sound effects” from some new blu-ray discs.
For \$1,000, as for me this gadget definitely should be art object of quality in sound and other features. Based on that example we can assume that the best work is done when Blu-ray player is used as alone standing device, rather then integrated in combination with another components all-together.
Thus, if still
idea about getting Blu-ray gadget visiting you, think twice. Play station 3 (\$400) Blu-ray making its job perfect.
Moreover, passing \$1,000 barrier you can buy something more flexible as concerns available sockets and with better sound quality.
