Panasonic DMP-BD30K

$390.00 Est. at Amazon

from jim6081, reviews.cnet.com
it is slower reading the dvd blu-ray disc compared to a standard dvd player but by just a few seconds.
from www.bestbuy.com
the upgrade of non-blu ray discs is outstanding - our sweeney todd dvd looked as good on our tv as it did in the theatre.
from www.bestbuy.com
i have had this product for a month now and have been renting tons of blu-ray discs from blockbusters, and no bugs what so ever.
from Andy from PA, www.circuitcity.com
i returned the sony bdp-s500 as it kept freezing on disc that played alright on my sony bdp-s300, as well as the setup menu kept returning after i had set the unit up.
from www.datavis.com
like other players, this one does not offer remaining time on a disc like many standard dvd players.

LG BD390 Player

$500.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
it read discs very fast too.
from www.bestbuy.com
in researching, i found a lot of the other units (particularly samdung units) had compatibility issues with some blu-ray discs.
from www.bestbuy.com
the samsung was really slow, and upgrading the firmware was a real pain, which i had to do periodically to get discs to play.
from www.amazon.com
the blue-ray discs load quickly (about the same amount of time it took for my regular dvd player to load).
from www.amazon.com
with my dsl connection the downloaded movies are not as clear as movies on dvd or blue ray disc but they are acceptable - and unlimited in quantity.

Oppo Digital BDP-83 Player

$600.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
other bdp-83 virtue is the speed response and efficacy to any prompted action over different discs formats, bd load and reproduction, search, etc., everything does it almost at dvd normal time.
from www.amazon.com
add in that it comes with a high quality hdmi cable and two professional blu ray calibration discs and the differences diminish.
from www.amazon.com
i have put it through the paces with every disc format i have available, just about every one it is capable of playing.
from www.amazon.com
i have been waiting to buy a blu-ray for a while, but i was really wanting one that played sacd and dvd audio discs too.
from www.amazon.com
i own several sacds and dvd-as; over 100 blu-ray discs and over 600 dvds and i want the best (though subjective) 1 box solution that i can afford.

i have a hd camcorder and a bluray burner (lg bh08ls20) on my cpu and made a bluray disc which shows spectacular in 1080p.
from www.amazon.com
sounds trivial, but to be honest i could not say how many times i found my old dvd players endlessly running a disc after i forgot to turn it off.

the lg bd 370 network blu-ray disc player is a nice product.

Sony BDP-S550

$325.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it loads a disc slower than a standard dvd player but reading reviews for other blu-ray players it seems to be the norm for blu-ray, however, not so slow as it's a problem.
from www.amazon.com
the only somewhat negative thing i could think of to note is that it loads discs slowly compared to a normal dvd player.
from www.amazon.com
if the unit is off and you want to eject a disc the unit insists on spinning the disc up first and reading it, rather than just spitting it out.
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint is that it takes a long time to load a disc.
from www.amazon.com
i ordered it as a replacement for a pioneer bdp-51fd that wouldn't play my one and only blu-ray disc.

i have watched blue ray discs on this set and although the picture quality was better,..it wasn't a whole lot better than the ones through the upconverting player.
from htwr70 from Florida, www.circuitcity.com
it continued to do this until i shut it off, then i ran the disc on a different machine where it ran well.

another great feature is that when it turns off it will resume from the exact spot on the disc where it was interrupted.

itloads quickly, plays picture and sound beautifully and also plays my dvd+r discs, which is not noted in the product description.

another feature is the upconversion function of the unit, and what it does is that it converts your regular non-hd dvd discs into hd resolution and then sends it to your display.

this player offers a crisp clean and high def picture when using blu ray discs and the upconversion for standard dvd's is really good too !
from www.amazon.com
it displays a great picture using bluray discs, but the upconverted picture (while viewing regular dvd discs) isn't all it's cracked up to be.

as i do not have any blu-ray discs i tested a regular dvd and it played beautifully (i later compared to my dvd player and it is a very noticable difference).

i received this blu-ray disc player recently, it is very clear and was easy to set-up, by using the coaxial connection.
