Samsung's Spring line roundup: mp3, Blu-ray players, and TVs galore
Samsung is rolling out some new products this spring, and they want you to know all about it. We’ll be looking at three basic product lines: their mp3 players, Blu-ray players, and LED-backlit televisions. We saw some of these at CES, but now they’re priced and official.
The Q2 is pretty much your standard MP3 player with video playback, with a 2.4-inch LCD, and is available in 8GB or 16GB flavors. Pricing is quite reasonable at $99 for the 8GB, and $129 for the 16GB. This product line should be available in April.
Last we have the U5, a pretty basic unit. It’s got a black and white screen, and is only available in a 2GB model. It also has the lowest price, at $39.99. The U5 is also available next month.
The BD-P4600 is the ultra-slim, top-of-the-line unit with “Touch of Color” accents and touch pad controls. This unit is priced at $499.99 (!), and will be available in April. The BD-P3600 also features the “Touch of Color” but is not quite so slim. It’s priced at $399.99, and is available now. The BD-P1600 is the basic unit; it still features full HD and Netflix streaming, but is a traditional design, and priced at $299.99, and is also available now.
The 7000 series is available in 54.6, 45.9, and 39.9-inch sizes, the 54.6-inch is $3799.99, the 45.9-inch is $2999.99 and are available now, the 39.9-inch is priced at $2499.99 and will be available next month.
The 6000 series lacks the Internet@TV features, but is available in similar sizes. The 54.6-inch is $3599.99, the 45.9-inch is $2799.99, the 39.9-inch is $2299.99 and available now. The 31.5-inch is priced at $1599.99 and will be available in June of this year.
