Samsung unveiled two cool new video player devices at CES 2009, the Samsung BD-P4600 and BD-P3600 Blu-ray players.
Measuring only 1.5" in thickness, the wall-mountable Samsung BD-P4600 is sleek and slender; there’s no surprise that it is being touted as "the world’s slimmest Blu-ray player." The Samsung BD-P3600, though not a mountable video device, is impressive too.
Both of Samsung’s 2009 BDP Blu-ray players support Netflix and Pandora so viewers can watch live streaming videos or listen to streaming music.
