This Blu-ray player has just about everything you need to future-proof your entertainment system for a while. You get Blu-ray playback, 3D Blu-ray playback, support for loads of over formats and optical discs (including MPEG2, H.264, VC-1, AVCHD, DIVX HD, MKV, MP4, WMV9, 3GPP, HD JPEG formats). Then there are Samsung Apps, so you can access Netflix, Blockbuster, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, Twitter and more (and we’re guessing the Apps list will continue to grow over the next years). About the only thing it’s missing is built-in wireless, but if you need that, it supports the LinkStick wireless adapter as well. All this in a package that weighs only 3.8 pounds.
