Blu-Ray FAQ 

Questions about how Blu-Ray works?

If you're unfamiliar with the Blu-Ray technology, read this FAQ to learn more about Blu-Ray players and discs.

Q. Do I need to buy a new TV?

A: No, you don't need a new television for your Blu-Ray player. But to appreciate the full audio and video experience you'll want a high definition television. Chances are if you've bought a new TV in the past few years you already own an HD television.

The best HD television will have a resolution of 1080p or 1080i. Older and less expensive models may have a resolution of 480p or 720p. Even these are better than standard definition.

Q: What exactly is Blu-Ray.

A: Blu-Ray provides a better viewing experience, just like DVDs improved on the VHS viewing experience. A Blue Ray disc is an optical disc format. Its resolution is better than a DVD (by six times) and it has a digital sound that surpasses that of a CD with its 8 channels of lossless.

It can also store more special features, since it can hold 25 GB or 50 GB (depending on if it is single or dual layer).

Q: Does this mean my DVDs are obsolete?

A: No, your DVDs can be played in your new Blu-Ray player. Most player models will actually upconvert your DVDs so that they look better than when you play them in a DVD player. CDs will also play in your Blu-Ray player, so you don't need to clutter your home entertainment center with other players.

The Perfect Christmas Gift for Someone Who Loves to Watch Movies 

Panasonic DMP-BD50K Blu-Ray Player


Panasonic DMP-BD50K 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player


Now, I don't know if you are buying this for yourself or a loved one, but I do know that supplies are limited (while I write this there are only four left on Amazon). So, if you want to get one, you should grab one soon or you'll end up paying the same price for a lesser model.

The Panasonic DMP-BD50K is a high end model. If it is a holiday present, make sure it is for someone you truly love. For example, your wife or husband will love this. Get this as a gift your whole family can enjoy. I wouldn't buy this model for a teen. It's a great gift for a boyfriend, girlfriend, or fiancée if the relationship is serious, or if you spend a lot of time at their place watching movies. So, don't make this a disappointing Christmas, buy the Panasonic Blu-ray player before it is out of stock.

Pros and Cons of Panasonic DMP-BD50K Blu-Ray Player 

Panasonic DMP-BD50K Review

Pros:

* This is the first player to come with built-in decoders for DTSHD Master Audio.

*It has UniPhier, which is a digital video processor with high precision that gives you natural colors that are sharp and crisp. This technology is a combination of the P conversion processor and the PHL Reference Chroma.

Cons

* This isn't a bargain priced Blu-Ray player. Although similar models can sell for twice this much, you will be out $400 even if you buy it for $200 off. Don't get this for someone who won't appreciate it.
