Newer Samsung and Older LG BR Player/Recorders in Korea - Blu-ray Forum

Greenmatiz2 · 04-27-2007, 06:53 AM

Have you guys seen these in the USA? I'm in Korea, and these are listed as coming out as sometime in April and May of this year here in Korea:

Samsung BD-HR1000
400 GB Hard Drive
Also says 480p/720p/1080i (probably record specs)
Records in MPEG 2TS. Burns up to 2 hours 30 mins on a 23GB Blu-Ray disk. Blu-Ray disk recording on the HDD up to 14 hours. Records up to 47 hours at lowest SD quality, if I'm reading the Korean right.

LG BH-6900 (This was listed as 2005? So must not be sold anymore).
160GB Hard Drive
Records BR Disks
Says 720p/1080i in the specs (not sure why not 1080p -- maybe that's just recording specs)
Records in MPEG 2TS. Recording 3 hours (high quality) 6 hours (medium quality) 12 Hours (low quality).

You might have to choose page 1, 2, or 3 at the bottom, as the list shifts sometimes.

I think that the one on bottom is the LG old prototype.
I think this is a cartage? Is it?

I think both are prototype. I doubt that the BD catridge system was ever launched in Korea. The Samsung version was demoed at CES about two or three years ago; I remember because there was a discussion at AVSF about where the tray would come out of the unit.

They're really strange, eh?

Obviously, the LG isn't anything special. The Samsung... I'll keep my eye on it. Two years ago, I doubt they'd have had that big of a HDD and wifi capability, but I could be wrong. It doesn't appear to have the old-style disk cartridge (although the LG obviously does).

The odd thing is that they don't come up when I search on blu-ray using English. In Korean, the proper search translates to "Blu-ray player," but if I type that, these don't come up. If I search on just blu-ray in Korean, then these two come up. Kind of odd.

I saw the Samsung model at the Samsung store at Columbus Circle in NYC December 2005. Not for sale, though, and too big to try to steal. (kidding)
