7 New Blu-ray Players at CES 2009
We round up 7 Blu-ray players that were unveiled at CES 2009 in Las Vegas.
After a drama-free press conference at CES 2009, it's apparent that the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) is focused on getting the format through this tough economy.
And it appears several manufacturers are on board to help. The BDA says the dropping prices of Blu-ray players has helped and will continue to help the format's adoption.
"Low end pricing will go lower, says Richard Doherty, Envisioneering, a panel member at the BDA press conference.
The BDA says 11 Profile 2.0 players were unveiled at the show. There were only 9 models on the market prior to the show, according to the BDA.
Samsung BD-P4600 Wall-Mountable Blu-ray Player
The Profile 2.0 BDP-4600 is the world's first wall-mountable Blu-ray player, according to Samsung. It offers 1080p playback, DVD upscaling, total HD soundtrack support and is just 1.5-inches thick.
LG BD390 Blu-ray Player
The Profile 2.0 BD390 joins the growing list of LG products that offer Netflix streaming. The player also offers 1080p upscaling of DVDs and wireless networking to access entertainment anywhere in the home.
Pioneer BDP-23FD
The Elite BDP-23FD has been designed exclusively for the custom market, according to Pioneer.
