While the Samsung BD-D6700 comes with two HDMI ports, one HDMO 1.4 for 3D and one HDMI 1.3. Both Blu-ray players has a dynamic design and very slim, and has a glossy black and silver color.

Samsung BD-D7000 Ultra Compact 3D Blu-ray Player

There is a trend of Blu-Ray players getting smaller and smaller every year. However, Samsung is clearly leagues ahead of everyone in this aspect. In the recently held Consumer Electronics Show 2011, Samsung showcased the BD-D7000 Blu-Ray player, which features an ultra small design, looking more like an external DVD drive rather than a home theater disc player. Furthermore, it has a slot-loading mechanism with touch sensitive buttons along the front of the unit.

The BD-D7000 is 3D enabled and can convert 2D content to 3D. This feature will certainly come in handy for those who really crave 3D content. For those who prefer that their television screens remain in 2D, this player offers Full HD 1080p up-scaling, such that standard definition media can be upconverted into high resolution media.

Other features of the BD-D7000 include built-in WiFi. Together with Smart Blu-Ray, the content streaming service offered by Samsung, it allows the user to view any content available on the internet. YourMovie can also deliver recommendations of films to watch based on the user’s viewing history, making it a good movie companion. Additionally, its DLNA certification allows users to enjoy video or audio from it via the computer or any other DLNA compatible unit. Multi-format disc playback capability also enables the user to play DVDs and VCDs, making the BD-D7000 an all-in-one versatile player.

The installation of Samsung Apps also allows the Blu-Ray player to access a wide array of streaming-media services, like Netflix, Pandora, Vudu, YouTube, Twitter and Blockbuster. The SmartHub, a newly incorporated unified search feature, can look through all of the streaming-media services for content and make viewing recommendations.
