The player is part of an extensive addition to its 3D TV lineup unveiled today. Other introductions include three additional stand-alone Blu-ray players and three new Blu-ray home-theater systems.
The portable unit, the BD-C8000, delivers 1080p HD video, enables 3D playback when connected to a 3D-capable TV and used with 3D glasses, and features a 10.3-inch screen, Samsung said. It has built-in Wi-Fi for access to advanced connectivity features — including an expanding library of content and applications via Samsung Apps and HDMI 1.4a support — and features three hours of battery life.
The BD-C8000 has a suggested retail of $499 and is available now.
In a statement discussing the new stand-alone Blu-ray players and Blu-ray home-theater systems, John Revie, home entertainment senior VP, said, “We led the way in 3D TVs and are excited to do the same for 3D Blu-ray players and home-theater systems. With the industry’s broadest lineup of 3D-capable home entertainment products, there is a product to suit every home and wallet.”
