Sony vs Samsung

david_gregory · 20-10-2008, 20:37

Got two Blu-Ray players - the Sony BDP300 and the Samsung HT-BD2 (7.1 Blu-Ray Home Theatre System). Was just playing around with a couple of Blu-Ray discs I bought, and have to say, for picture quality, the Samsung blows away the Sony completely. Its pictures are beautifully detailed with excellent colour saturation compared to the Sony's which lacked detail and looked very washed out. Both are connected to my Samsung 50" full HD TV via HDMI, and with the best setting selected via each's on-board menu. I am amazed at the difference quite frankly.

Samsung Bluray, Samsung TV. Ah yes, you have unwittingly engaged the Korean brand's top secret "Kaiboshi" mode! It renders all competing Japanese product useless when connected to a source & display combination from any of the syndicated Korean chaebols.

Kaiboshi was developed to counter the Nipponese threat posed by their secret weapon, code named "Ninja".

Publicly hostile to each other, the alleged co-operation between the houses of Matsushita and Morita is said to have been one of Japan's most closely guarded secrets.

An anonymous source claimed that the information was leaked during a drunken karaoke party hosted by Sony near their N.Y. HQ. The visitors were Korean LCD panel manufacturers. In an ironic twist it is rumoured that the last song performed by the senior Sony manager was Gloria Gaynor's 70's hit "I Will Survive" None of this information has ever been corroborated and no proof exists that these events ever took place.

Ive noticed the effects of when a sony DVD player is connected to a Samsung plasma & a Sony plasma. Me & my dad both have a trusty Sony NS700v dvd player, his is connected to a Samsung plasma & mine to a Sony one, i find the sony one far sharper & not as dull as the Samsung. Yet the samsung plasma has a far sharper picture when its connected to his Panasonic DVD recorder.
