Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray Player

Pros: Excellent performance, picture quality playing both Blu-Ray and standard DVD, good remote
Cons: Price

After being disappointed with some performance aspects of the S amsung DB-P1000 Blu-Ray High-Definition DVD player, I had to try the Panasonic DMP-BD10. Although it sells for almost twice the price of the Samsung, I ...

Pros: Relatively fast load times, 7 channel analog, good upconversion
Cons: No DTS-Master Audio, no bass management, lacks 1080/24p support, no SACD support, expensive

When you have an 1080p projector (s ee review here ) you want as many 1080p sources as you can get. Television can provide some nice 1080i sources, but I'm still amazed at how little high-def content is on television - ...

Pros: Excellent 1080P picture quality, SD DVD upconversion, and 7.1 HD sound capability.
Cons: none

I purchased the new Panasonic Blu-ray player this week at Best Buy for $540 (10% discount). To get the discount, all I did was ask for the 10% off based on a coupon I had (at home) from Citibank for the Magnolia Center at Best Buy. The sales guy did not even blink...and did not require the coupon.

The quality is both in the sound system and panel ... the new model 1080P panels really show off the picture quality of this blu-ray player. I recently purchased the new Panasonic TH-50PZ700U 50" Plasma Panel and the Panasonic SA-XR700 7 x 100W 7.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver ... now, with the new Panasonic DMP-BD10A Blu-ray player, the picture knocks your socks off!

I rated this product 5 Stars because it also includes 5 blu-ray movies worth at least $100!

Pros: Excellent 1080P picture quality, SD DVD upconversion, and 7.1 HD sound capability.
Cons: none
