Digital Home Thoughts: Samsung's Wall-mounted Blu-ray Player

"Its glossy black finish and polished Darth Vader design make Samsung's newest Blu-ray box, the BD-P4600, stand out from every other player on the market. Well, it actually doesn't stand anywhere at all — it comes with the metal brackets to mount it on a wall or plant it on a desktop pedestal. And like Lord Vader, this model packs some serious force with its built-in streaming for Pandora music and Netflix movies."

I've always been surprised that there are not more options in wall mountable DVD/Blu-ray players. With the growth in wall-mounted TV's, a wall-mounted player seems to be a logical option. Unfortunately, all the wall-mounted players I've seen tended to be rather specialized products and were priced accordingly. I don't care about a wall-mounted player so much for the living room since I have lots of other components that are not wall mountable anyway. But I've got a 32" LCD wall-mounted in the bedroom and having to make space on a nearby dresser to put a DVD player takes away from some of the elegance of a wall-mounted TV.
