Why it's a best pick:
If you're shopping for a Blu-ray player on a $300 budget, the Samsung BD-P1600 Blu-ray player offers the most features for the money. This update to Samsung's popular BD-P1500 features a slimmer design, faster load times, and support for Netflix on-demand movies and Pandora Internet Radio. Picture quality on this player is excellent, and there is also onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. This player supports Profile 2.0 and BD Live, and firmware updates are easy over the Ethernet or USB port. However, a wireless LAN adapter is not included, so you’ll have to purchase it separately and connect it to the USB port for Wi-Fi connectivity. 7.1 multichannel analog outputs are also missing, so if you have an older receiver without HDMI, you may want to consider a higher-end model.
