Samsung HT-BD7200
$800.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:System is easy to set up, only takes a few minutes. Netflix and Pandora work smoothly, stream well in high definition. Sounds rich and full at medium to high volumes.
The Cons:Doesn't create a surround effect, although the stereo separation is good. Compatibility problems with several online services such as YouTube and Blockbuster On Demand. Discontinued - unlikely to see a firmware update for it.
The Samsung HT-BD7200 is a 2.1 (two speakers plus subwoofer) home theater system announced at CES 2009 in Las Vegas. This 400-watt system from Samsung includes the front speakers and a subwoofer only, as it relies on simulated surround sound to achieve a 5.1 effect.

This system includes a wall-mountable Blu-ray Disc player and supports Netflix internet movie streaming and Pandora's free Internet music service. This system is similar to Samsung’s 2008 DVD-based home theater offering, the HT-X710T. 2009’s HT-BD7200 includes support for Blu-ray profile 2.0, meaning full compatibility with the latest Blu-ray movie features like BD-Live and lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio sound. This home theater system also includes an iPod dock, and the ability to stream from compatible Bluetooth devices, such as mobile phones containing audio files. Users will have to invest in an 802.11n Wi-Fi dongle for wireless internet support. Expect to see Samsung’s home theater system in the first half of 2009.
