The Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Black

The Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Bl-ray Disc Player Black is a highly respected, well reviewed and affordable blu-ray player at just under $150. If you are looking to buy a blu-ray player player, this one is a simple but excellent choice.

Before we get started, let me introduce myself. (Yes, that's me up there in the upper right-hand corner of this page.) I am not a blu-ray expert. I am a work-at-home-mom who has been thrust into the blu-ray world by a technology-loving husband and I have been forced to learn as we go. About one year ago, I started writing online about my blu-ray discoveries.

A couple of things that I have learned. Firstly, to turn to the experts and let them handle the truly technical stuff.  I read their reviews and recommend the excellent ones on my blu-ray pages. Secondly, to trust Amazon's customer reviews.  I take the time to carefully read all of the reviews of any product that I am buying and figure that if 105 people have given an item top star ratings, that is a pretty good indicator of the quality of an item. Of course, what they actually have to say about each item is important, too. 

On this page you will find some expert recommendations and you will find some Amazon customer reviews from ordinary people like you and me.  At anytime you can click on the links to Amazon to read more there. Doing so will in no way obligate you to buy anything from Amazon.

So, with no further ado, I give you the  The Panasonic DMP BD60 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Black and I wish you happy viewing!

A basic blu-ray player that plays in high quality. If that is what you are looking for, then Panasonic's DMP BD60 may be the blu-ray player for you.

Amazon Customer Reviews of the Panasonic DMP BD60 

"This Panasonic DMP-BD60 blu ray player is amazing and a part of their new series of blu ray players. Finally, a quality blu ray player at a reasonable price. Seems the long wait of inflated costs for a player is settling down. Here you pay a reasonable price for high quality." ~~ Barry, Boston, MA



"The Panasonic DMP-BD60K Blu Ray DVD player is an excellent DVD player. It raises the bar on Blu Ray players that other manufacturers will have to surpass in order to be able to compete on quality and price." ~~ Knowledge Comes, But Wisdom Lingers



"Well, I did a lot of research before buying the BD60 from Panasonic and I believe it was a good move. I cannot agree with the previous reviewer today who stated that the unit loads in very short time, because mine does not. However, load time is not a feature that means a hill o' beans to me for a movie player. If pauses were happening during playback, that would be another story. The video and sound quality are excellent, which is what I expected. I have to say that the remote is also pretty good. I've played everything under the sun on it from old DVDs to blu rays with no problems. I would recommend it and would buy it again if I had to do it over." ~~ Lamar, Charlemont, MA



"I purchased this player to replace a Samsung BD-P2500 that was giving me major compatibility problems with Blu-ray discs, and so far haven't been disappointed. Picture quality on Blu-ray is stunning and I've had no compatibility issues thus far; upscaling on standard DVDs is great. VieraCast is a novel feature that could someday find greatness if Panasonic expanded support to include Amazon, Netflix and Hulu." ~~ B. Campbell, Richmond VA



"I just purchased the Panasonic DMP-BD60 a couple of days ago. My criteria for purchase were as follows: great reviews from amazon, sound and vision award winner for the BD60's predecessor product the BD35 and finally a great price." ~~ J. Simone, Lake Worth, FL

    With the BD60, Panasonic adds VIERA Cast online content access to their previous entry-level model, the DMP-BD35. You would think this makes an excellent Blu-ray Player even excellenter (yes, I know that's not a word), and it does. The BD60 excels in its Blu-ray Disc playback and is very good at DVD upconversion as well, passing difficult tests like the HQV benchmark discs with flying colors (as well as looking good on real movies).

For yourself or another tech entranced person in your life.

Well, here's a chance for me to ignore my advice about Amazon Customer Reviews. This magazine has poor reviews. However, I enjoy every single issue of Sound & Vision Magazine (my husband and I actually fight over who gets to read it first) and I think it is an excellent investment for anyone who is interested in the latest entertainment technology and gadgets.

I first read about the Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player through a review of three units in Sound & Vision and I found it to be a superb article about an affordable item.

Each and every month I look forward to reading the blu-ray movie reviews and recommendations. I know this magazine would be an amazing gift for anyone interested in the subject matter.

To read more about subscribing to Sound & Vision magazine, including all of the negative reviews which I urge you to read and carefully consider for yourself, click here. If the reviews make you question subscribing, I highly recommend picking up a single issue and checking it out. If you are already familiar with this magazine and you enjoy it, you will realize that the subscription price of $12 is a deal. At that price, I don't think you can go wrong.
