Comparing High End 3D Blu-Ray Players From Samsung And Panasonic - Capabilities They Share

By Tim Henderson

There are clear moments where technology starts to boom in the industry. The move to DVDs, 3D, high-definition viewing and various other technology have all been tremendously quick. People adopt trends at exceptionally fast speeds and as such, electronics providers need to keep up with the current trend. Panasonic and Samsung have both released their high-end 3D Blu-Ray players, though they're remarkably similar in capabilities. Comparing high end 3D Blu-Ray players from Samsung and Panasonic will point out these similarities, as well as a couple of differences.

Samsung - 6900 3D Blu-Ray Player

As with both players, the Samsung 6900 offers full 3D technology, which means you can view any media, such as a film, that offers 3D viewing and not be disappointed. 3D provides a much more immersive picture as it project different layers of the media to the front and back, giving the illusion of depth. This allows us to perceive characters and other objects coming much closer to us, when they're actually no closer than normal. This is the main selling point of 3D technology.

As for the 6900's offerings, it features a fast boot and load system, which decreases the amount of time it takes for the disc tray to open and close as well as decreasing boot times. This results in a quicker starting of the player and, ultimately, getting into the media quicker. While somewhat of a small feature, this might be a major selling point for some individuals who are immensely vexed by such delays.

The 6900 can also connect to the Internet to provide many online sources of entertainment on the television. Sites such as BBC iPlayer, LOVEFiLM and YouTube are easily accessible and can provide hours of free and premium entertainment. Having the Internet in your living room on a big screen is a good improvement over having it on a personal computer.

Panasonic

Panasonic's own offering shares the 3D capabilities. While both Blu-Ray players offer high definition, Panasonic integrates their own image processors into the mix to enhance the overall image quality. It improves the reproduction of the colors and maintains a sharp image. Furthermore, 1080i films are enhanced as well, almost matching their big brothers, 1080p.

With twin HDMI outputs, the BDT300 also provides additional support for larger home entertainment systems. It also allows for the means to connect older sound systems that are incompatible with 3D media. Definitely an important aspect for those who do not wish to fully upgrade yet.

Yet another shared aspect between the two is upsampling. Both the BDT300 and the 6900 can upsample a standard definition piece of media to a high definition 1080p to provide high-quality viewing. These standard definition medias can be from a removable storage device or from the Internet or anywhere else. - 40731
