Reuters has reported that Samsung plans to make some improvements to its BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc player. Among other things, they plan to add Java title compatibility and modify the setting for the noise filter which should provide a slightly sharper picture.
Samsung Corp's (000830.KS) Samsung America Inc on Thursday said it would make some improvements to its Blu-ray high-definition DVD players ahead of the holiday season.
"As we approach the 2006 holiday season, Samsung will make a running line production improvement to BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc players destined for the U.S. market," the company said in a statement.
The production line improvement will include a modified setting for the noise filter reduction circuit that will provide a slightly sharper picture, it said.
While these improvements will be built into future players, existing BD-P1000 owners will be able to add them via a free firmware update. Expect to see this update in late October. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.
