Samsung ships portable 3D Blu-ray player in Korea
Samsung in Korea began shipping the compact BD-D7000 Blu-ray player with 3D playback. Its design is rare in providing a full Blu-ray player in a package that is about half the size of regular players and weighs a portable 2.4lbs. The player was introduced at CES and also gets apps and other smart features thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi.
Samsung's Hyper Real Engine helps process the video to minimize noise without necessarily hurting the sharpness. The design also fits Dolby 7.1 surround sound support and will upconvert 2D content to 3D. Samsung's Smart Hub is integrated as well, as is DLNA media sharing.
The player is shipping for 390,000 Won ($358) in Korea.
