Oppo Digital BDP-83 Player

$550.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
but this oppo bdp-83 really stands out in that it is cheap for an audiophile/videophile product while it provides state-of-the-art performance.
from www.amazon.com
i'm not an audio/video expert, but i can tell you the oppo-83 is a very good product.
from www.amazon.com
fwiw, i am more into the audio than the video potential of this product.
from www.amazon.com
this along with the anchor bay video chip, makes it better than the ps3 and samsung bd-p1500 i own for up-conversion of dvds based on the flexibility of options you can choose.
from www.amazon.com
audio/video quality: i have been avoiding blu-ray for a while now because i had such a great upscaling dvd player.

Panasonic DMP-BD60K Blu-ray/

$214.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
the viera cast lets one access you tube videos and picasa web albums.
from www.amazon.com
after hooking it up, i also connected a broad band (cable) hookup, did a firmware update (took about 10 minutes), spent a couple of hours watching youtube videos, and watched a standard definition dvd
from www.amazon.com
but i've tested a blu-ray version of south pacific that i bought just for this purpose, a standard dvd version of batman: the dark knight, and a 4:3 dvd i made from video shot of a piano recital.
from www.amazon.com
however the main reason that i purchased it was to have access to amazon's video on demand that was advertised as being a part of this player and to date, it has not happened.
from www.amazon.com
first of all, i think it's a good idea for a little background: i am a broadcast and video student so video concepts and equipment are not new to me.

from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?picture, sound, quality, menus, streaming video what's not so great:?nothing!
from www.bestbuy.com
sound quality and picture quality while plying youtube videos is just beautiful and it's blu-ray quality and loud.
from www.bestbuy.com
when the bd370 is powered up i do get the startup screen for that - then the tv goes black and eventually says "no signal."currently i'm getting by with component video connections.
from www.bestbuy.com
i'm not sure what other people are looking for in their blu-ray players but i was looking for a stand-alone blu-ray player that shows great quality videos and this fits the bill.

Samsung BD-P2500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player

$238.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is a high quality product that does a great job with blu-ray as well as regular dvd video.
from www.amazon.com
i joined netflix on my pc and went back to the bd-p2500 and entered a code and now it steams videos from netflix in quality comparable to standard dvd.
from www.amazon.com
also unlike others, i didn't purchase this player because of the netflix streaming, i purchased it because of the rave reviews experts have given for its video quality, and excellent it is.
from www.amazon.com
the netflix abilities are great (i have yet to see it need to rebuffer while watching a video).
from www.amazon.com
after having returned the first thinking it was a problem with the component jacks it ended up being the default of 480p resolution for video outoput.

Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray Player

$195.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
and with built-in 1080p video upscaling, i find it hard to see the differance between it and a hd blu-ray dvd.
from www.amazon.com
(had the same problem with the dvd player.) it does fine with video dvds, though.
from www.amazon.com
based on initial three-month usage, the panasonic dmp-bd35k provides high-quality blu-ray dvd video images and 5.1 sound reproduction.
from www.amazon.com
we haven't set up surround sound yet and use it with a vizio 120 hz lcd, but feel the audio and video quality are transferred well.

Philips DVP5990

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
after the adjustment on the remote it does play any region dvds - i'm very happy and satisfied with this product - the video and sound quality is great - now i'm waiting to receive my hdmi-dvi cable
from www.amazon.com
it's brilliant being able to watch video (including non-mpeg2 video) right off a burned dvd-r or a flash drive, and the quality when doing so is excellent.
from www.amazon.com
not only do i get to watch my foreign dvd, it upconverts the video quality of my dvd collection and i am now enjoying them on my wide screen tv.
from www.amazon.com
my in-laws have an lcd hdtv and surround system, but their dvd player was several years old and had only rca and s-video outputs.
from www.amazon.com
playback via the usb port is playback of jpg files and various video files on a flash drive ("thumb drive" or whatever you might call it) via usb 1.1 (not usb 2.0).

Philips DVP5992/37

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i have a dvd movie that i brought and after some months it stuttered on my go video, then locked it up.
from www.amazon.com
it is one of the few players in its price class that also plays avi/divx files on dvd-r's/dvd+r's thus allowing you to put 8-10 hours of watchable video files on one regular single layer dvd.
from www.amazon.com
it has the most common hookups for dvd players (composite, s-video, component, and hdmi).
from www.amazon.com
- when playing video files, i press the display key; it does not show the file name or title.
from www.amazon.com
between my kids, wife, and myself it is used atleast 6 hours a day (more on weekends) between video and music as i also use it to play music off of the hd in place of the radio (which is boring here).

Panasonic DMP-BD80K Blu-ray/

$261.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
panasonic has a knack for eventually coming up with a really good audio/video product that not only looks good but sounds good, and does so for a fair price.
from www.bestbuy.com
as a result it took a lot of trial and error to discover that the panasonic menu item must be set for pcm (not bitstream) and "hdmi video mode must be set to off".
from www.amazon.com
the biggest reason i purchased this is because it has amazon video on demand.
from www.amazon.com
i have not done any comparison testing because it is hard to compare video performance of two machines.
from www.amazon.com
haven't tried the bd live features yet (waiting for sd card to arrive), and it doesn't take sony memory sticks, butalready it has brought back pleasure into video viewing.

Sony DVP-FX930 Player

the bottom line: for video on the go from a reputable name, the sony dvp-fx930 is a good investment for your family.
from www.amazon.com
i have bought this sony dbp-fx930/r 9 inch portable dvd player from amazon for my 2 years old son to watch cartoon during travel and at home.the product was shipped and sold by video and audio
from www.amazon.com
i use this to play workout videos as i exercise, and for that it works great.
from www.amazon.com
with a set of large (for a dvd player) speakers, the level of sound produced is outstanding, making this great for movies and especially concert videos.
from www.amazon.com
to test it and if it is not what you like or expect, return it and try another, but choices on these products are quite limited since many use their psp, iphone, or ipods to watch movies/videos etc.
