One of the bigger buzzwords going around these days is HDTV. Everyone seems to want high-def this and high-def that. Just as we encountered with VHS and Betamax, we are once again amidst a format war of sorts. On one side of the arena is HD DVD, backed by companies like Microsoft. On the other side is Blu-ray, supported by guys like Samsung. Samsung already has a big family of flat panel HDTVs, so they want to provide you with some HD content as well. The Samsung BD-P1200 is actually the company's second generation Blu-ray player and while it looks awfully pretty from the outside (much like Samsung's LCDs), there were several issues with the performance that need to be improved.

Samsung's BD-P1200 is a step forward and a slight step back. Sure it now carries the new HDMI v1.3 standard, but it fails to take full advantage of what the new specification has to offer. In addition, although a lot of the bugs were worked out, some of the functionality was removed as well. The BD-P1000 had a handy memory card reader which would be great for people wanted to view their photos and video files seamlessly on their HDTV. The BD-P1200 has that functionality stripped away.

Last August we had the privilege of reviewing Samsung's first foray into the Blu-ray Disc player market, the BD-P1000. Nearly one year later, we have Samsung's follow-up, the BD-P1200 to check out. Did this model impress us as much as last time? Read on to find out!
