Review by GH (USA) 2010-07-27 I wanted a Blu-Ray player that I could also use as a CD player with a good audio system. Based on magazine and user reviews I went for the Oppo BDP-83; it's pricey but quality is never cheap. This is the best piece of equipment I've bought in ages. You know it's a class act from the minute you open the box: the packing is snug and doesn't ... Read more reviews... |
With the Blu-ray format becoming more and more popular, there are now many different versions of Blu-ray DVD Players in the marketplace, all having their own set of features and functions. Combine this with the fact Blu-ray is a relatively new technology, it can get a little confusing for us consumers to figure out exactly what to look for when buying a new Blu-ray player. To help you decide, here are four features every good Blu-ray DVD Player should have:
BD LIVE
Now that HD DVD is dead, home theater fans have only one choice for high-def movie discs, Blu-ray. Blu-ray players deliver outstanding image quality, with movies encoded in 1080p resolution. This picture quality puts regular DVD players to shame. I will tell you that the best Blu-ray player on the market is the Sony PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3 is by far the most recommendable Blu-ray player available today. There are a few things that the PS3 doesn’t offer, but nobody is perfect, right? It doesn’t have analog multichannel outputs or an IR receptor. That is no reason why you shouldn’t get a PlayStation 3 for your Blu-ray player. You have to remember that is also a high-def gaming console and media streamer. You are getting a top of the line product with a company you know stands by there products. I know that if you are a home theater die hard, you will insist on a standalone player. That is fine, but everyone else should stick with the PS3 until standalones cost much less and perform comparably.

| Review by movie lover (USA) 2010-04-23 We bought a new Panasonice blu-ray player in December 2009. I love the picture and sound quality. When the player is turned off and you press the top button to open the tray door, be prepared to wait about 10 seconds for it to cycle and open. Then after the player wakes up enough and then close the door and press the play button on the remote, y... Read more reviews | ||

Top #2 Pioneer BDP-320 1080p Blu-ray Disc PlayerOverall Rating (8/10) |

| Review by S. SU (USA) 2010-05-10 The image quality and sound quality are excellent after updating the firmware, much better than LG BD390 which I bought last year (BD390 was dead after five months). The 320 is slow and no netflix streaming, but acceptable. I do care much about PQ, AQ and stability.... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Don't Be Hatin (OK, USA) 2010-07-18 I purchased this product last Xmas and have played a couple of Blu-Ray movies. I recently joined Netflix and "Panasonic Networking Blue-Ray Player" was listed as one of components to be able to play Netflix streaming video, so I decided to upgrade my wireless network from "G" to "N" just so that I can start watching Netflix streaming videos via my...

| Review by Douglas Neal (Papillion, NE USA) 2010-07-25 I had an earlier review of some problems with three blu-ray movies and errors regarding region free settings. This was an easy fix by some extra instructions in the box. So if you have problems make sure you read the instructions. I've erased that other review. This player has nice upscaling; great picture; In addition to my region A blu-rays,... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by J. Wemer (USA) 2010-07-28 I bought this LG BD390 in October 2009. Worked well playing Blu-rays and DVDs until last week (7/20/2010). It will no longer recognize any of my DVDs - even brand new ones that have never been opened or played. I started getting a "No Disc" in the upper left-hand corner of the TV with DVDs immediately after closing the tray [with a DVD in the tr... Read more reviews | ||
