Comparing High End 3D Blu-Ray Players From Samsung And Panasonic - Technology Shared

By Jack Roth

There are clear moments where technology starts to boom in the industry. The move to DVDs, 3D, high-definition viewing and various other technology have all been tremendously quick. People adopt trends at exceptionally fast speeds and as such, electronics providers need to keep up with the current trend. Panasonic and Samsung have both released their high-end 3D Blu-Ray players, though they're remarkably similar in capabilities. Comparing high end 3D Blu-Ray players from Samsung and Panasonic will point out these similarities, as well as a couple of differences.

Samsung - 6900 3D Blu-Ray Player

Both the Samsung 6900 and the Panasonic BDT300 offer full 3D technology, which ensures that any 3D material being viewed will display correctly and offer the image as the creator intended. The mechanics behind 3D technology are rather simple; originally, two different colors would be displayed and we would wear glasses with two different colored lenses. This would ensure our left eye would see one depth, while our right eye would see different depth. This is the illusion of 3D, we perceive images having different depths and thus increase immersion. Modern 3D uses alternating frames, so that we don't require two different colors anymore.

As for the 6900's offerings, it features a fast boot and load system, which decreases the amount of time it takes for the disc tray to open and close as well as decreasing boot times. This results in a quicker starting of the player and, ultimately, getting into the media quicker. While somewhat of a small feature, this might be a major selling point for some individuals who are immensely vexed by such delays.

The 6900 provides connection to the Internet so that you can view online materials through your television. Sources such as the BBC iPlayer, LOVEFiLM and YouTube are all provided as well as others. This free and premium material provides a lot of entertainment and brings the Internet to your living room, where you can enjoy it with your friends and family on a comfortable sofa.

The DMP-BDT300 3D Blu-Ray Player From Panasonic

Panasonic's own offering shares the 3D capabilities. While both Blu-Ray players offer high definition, Panasonic integrates their own image processors into the mix to enhance the overall image quality. It improves the reproduction of the colors and maintains a sharp image. Furthermore, 1080i films are enhanced as well, almost matching their big brothers, 1080p.

With twin HDMI outputs, users can mix and match older sound systems incompatible with 3D technologies with newer systems that are. This not only provide support for larger sound systems or more versatile ones, but also negates the need for the user to upgrade, unlike other hardwares. This is definitely an important selling point.

Yet another shared aspect between the two is upsampling. Both the BDT300 and the 6900 can upsample a standard definition piece of media to a high definition 1080p to provide high-quality viewing. These standard definition medias can be from a removable storage device or from the Internet or anywhere else. - 40730
