Samsung BD-D6700 Review - A 3D Blu-Ray Player With Dual HDMI

There are many other great things to rave about with the BD-D6700. This includes its unique design. Samsung has always tried to provide players with aesthetics that are attractive and appealing to the eye. The silver color chassis of the BD-D6700 will definitely accomplish this and stand out from all those glossy black boxy players. The disc loading tray is gone; in its place is a slot-loading system. The disc simply slides into the player, much like a car CD player. Right beneath this is a LCD display screen with basic touch sensitive control buttons. Providing the BD-D6700 with a clutter-free exterior.



The remote control has a nice lay-out, with a dedicated Netflix button which will allow you to access the popular online service quickly and easily. The BD-D6700 can also be controlled by your smartphone. There are applications for iOS and Andriod to perform basic control functions. The best part of which will allow you to entry text commands. Great for searching or registering for online streaming services. The user interface for the BD-D6700, although modern looking and colorful, could be made a little simpler to use.

VIDEO QUALITY: The BD-D6700 provides excellent Full HD 1080p/24 video resolution. And it can up-scale SD content to near HD levels. Great for those users who have large DVD collections. Image quality when playing 3D Blu-rays, standard Blu-rays, DVDs or streaming online video should be satisfactory to most consumers. Connections for the BD-D6700 include the two HDMI Outputs, a Component Video Output (restricted to 480i resolution due to AACS rules) and Composite Video Output.



AUDIO QUALITY: The BD-D6700 provides decoding for the latest High-Resolution audio formats - Dolby TrueHD - DTS-HD MA - or you can transmit these audio formats in their native bit-stream form to be decoded by your A/V receiver. As stated before, one of the highlights of the BD-D6700 is its dual HDMI outputs. Allowing users with a non-3D-compatible A/V receiver to enjoy the 7.1-channel surround sound. A nice feature that will save you money by not having to upgrade your A.V receiver. But for those with less concerning ears, you can use the optical digital audio output that comes with most 3D players. You basically get the same sound quality. For these users, a player with dual HDMI outputs would not be worth the extra cost.



The BD-D6700 does not only play 3D Blu-rays but it will allow you to convert SD images to 3D. This means your standard Blu-rays, DVDs and even streaming content can be transformed into 3D images. While this is more or less a gimmick (and can be found on most 3D HDTVs), it is still a nice little feature will allow you to relive movies from a whole new perspective. Other new innovative features include the One Foot Connection. With a Samsung wireless router, you can connect the BD-D6700 by placing it within one foot of the router during the setup, without a password. Once connected you can move the player anywhere within your house. This provides an easy and quick way to connect to the internet.



There is also an Ethernet Port to establish an internet connection.
