Samsung HT-BD8200 review

This 2.1 soundbar offers Blu-ray playback at an affordable price

Subwoofer surprisingly effective ; Picture quality ; Affordable

Mediocre music reproduction ; Photo playback never better than upscaled SD

A great soundbar for the money and the added Blu-ray player rounds off a very impressive package

Samsung HT-BD8200 review

There's never been a soundbar as flexible as Samsung's HT-BD8200

Stylish, effective design ; good picture ; decent sound ; comprehensive spec

Can be a little shrill at higher volumes ; no real surround information on offer

Clever and capable – for many, the HT-BD8200 is the ideal home cinema solution – and it comes at a tempting price

Samsung HT-BD8200 soundbar speakers

The Samsung HT-BD8200 offers a 2.1 home theatre experience, bringing with it the benefits of a Blu-ray drive and the convenience of a wireless subwoofer. Soundbars offer a simple out-of-the-box home cinema solution with minimal setup and configuration...

Great design, great picture quality, sounds great

Lacks connectivity, networking a little hit and miss, bass can be brutal at times

The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a great single-box solution for those who want to boost their audio performance and get a Blu-ray player in the mix. The additional USB connectivity is nice, so long as your preferred formats are supported, but the networked...

Samsung HT-BD8200 Sound Bar - home theater system review

Though home theater enthusiasts may drool over a rack full of AV boxes, for most people less is more when it comes to living-room gadgets. Sound bars with wireless subwoofers are now widely available for about $300, but the Samsung HT-BD8200 ($700...

One-of-a-kind sound bar with built-in Blu-ray player; sleek design; Wi-Fi capable with included USB dongle; Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and Blockbuster streaming; wireless subwoofer; image quality and disc-loading speeds comparable with standalone...

Too many operational glitches; so-so sound quality; tall design may block TV when placed on a TV stand; limited connectivity; lacks expandable Samsung Apps platform on other newer Samsung home theater products.

The Samsung HT-BD8200 packs a Blu-ray player into a sound bar for unparalleled simplicity, but disappointing sound quality and operational glitches limit its appeal.

Samsung HT-BD8200 Sound Bar with Blu-ray & Netflix

The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a home theater sound bar equipped with a Blu-ray player and wireless subwoofer. This might be the best match I've seen for flat panel TVs in a long time. It's impressive
