The Samsung BD-P4600 is a high-end, ultracompact (1.5”) wall-mountable Blu-ray Disc player that was announced at CES 2009. This player is very similar feature-wise to Samsung’s BD-P3600. The BD-P4600 features Profile 2.0/BD Live/Bonus View compatibility, Netflix movie and Pandora music internet streaming, plus 1GB of onboard memory, which is required for online features. This compact player also includes a USB 802.11n Wi-Fi dongle, which is intended to compliment the integrated Ethernet port. The BD-P4600 also supports the highest resolution audio formats out of the box, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Other notable features include a slot-loading disc drive, improved loading times, a 1-second eject feature and touch sensitive controls on the unit itself. Samsung’s BD-P4600 is expected to be released sometime in the first half of 2009.
