When I sat down to go through the expert opinion out there on the Samsung HT-BD7200 home cinema Blu-ray system I didn’t exactly expect to go on a trip round Europe. However, like a pool shark who just goes where the tables are, we went wherever people were talking about this system (not sure that’s a great way of putting it but I was playing pool earlier this week so it kinda popped into my head).
As one of the lads in the office said when the product was brought up, “I know a couple of AV geeks who love it”, and true enough the consumer reviews out there are almost universally popular, but when it came to expert opinion we leaped from the UK, to Sweden, to Germany and also to France and the result was… well, varied to say the least with some experts viewing the BD7200 as a good looking object for the sitting room but not necessarily the most effective Blu-ray home cinema choice they could think of.
First off, the HT-BD7200 looks great, even with crappy wallpaper in the background.
Other reviews meanwhile attached words like ‘sharp’, ‘elegant’, ‘fabulous’ and more to describe the highly popular Samsung offering. Komplett of course came out on top in terms of price on this particular system in the recent ToPrice Electronics Consumer Price Report so we were more than a little intrigued to see what people were saying about it.
