Samsung combines Blu-ray player with soundbar
Saturday, September 12, 2009 - 7:12am
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Samsung has put a Blu-ray player with Internet connectivity to Netflix and Pandora into its HTBD8200 2.1-channel soundbar. You'll need an optional dongle to connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi (b/g/n). For $800 you even get a wireless subwoofer. It's a tall boy to accommodate the vertically-mounted Blu-ray player, so you may have to raise your flat panel. But it sure is prettier than most of the square black soundbars out there.
