Using the Spears and Munsil Benchmark Blu-ray, the BD-C7900 picks up the 3:2 sequence with 1080i and correctly deinterlaces it, showing that the player has no problem decoding film-based sources properly. So if you've got media, chances are pretty good that the BD-C7900 can play it. It also includes a USB port with playback support for a number of different media types on an attached USB drive, including: MPEG2, H.264, VC-1, AVCHD, DIVX HD, MKV, MP4, WMV9, 3GPP and HD JPEG. For streaming from within your own home network, the unit supports both DLNA and AllShare so it can access media files from a compatible device. It has the most options for content (nearly everything), and has an easy to use interface to access it. The crescent on the left is a window down onto the spinning disc.įrom a streaming point of view, the BD-C7900 is nearly without peer. I know the aesthetics of a player aren't of the highest priority when looking to buy, but the extra thought put into the design of the 7900 is welcome in a sea of boring black boxes.
There are no "buttons" per-se, instead touch sensitive areas that are lit from underneath with the logos of what they do (power, eject, play and so on). The top of the player has a half-moon opening to the spinning disc below, lit with blue-white LEDs. The Samsung BD-C7900 makes a go of it with all sorts of flashy blue-ish white lights. So why does every Blu-ray player look like a warmed-over DVD player? Well, almost every Blu-ray player. With all the other ways to get crappy HD (cable/satellite/iTunes etc), something about putting in the disc and watching a pristine film is special. Watching a movie in gorgeous 1080p/24 still has a sort of "event" feel to it, particuarly when you blow it up on a nice projection screen with killer surround sound. Maybe it's just me, but I feel that Blu-ray still has some excitement left in it.
