Panasonic 1080p Blu-Ray Player

The Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-Ray player is an excellent middle-of-the-road player for your Blu-Ray DVDs. Essentially, this machine is the same as Panasonics previous entry level model, the DMP-BD35, with added online content via Panasonic VIERA Cast.

The BD60 does a magnificent job in terms of Blu-Ray playback, and even in upconversion of your standard DVDs, so much so that you'll notice a clear difference in comparison with your old DVD Player.

If you're aiming to get a high performing, reliable Blu-Ray DVD player - and you're not too concerned about disc loading speed and availability of online content - the Panasonic DMP-BD60 1080p Blu-Ray player is clearly the choice for you!

The Panasonic DMP-BD80 Blu-Ray Player is the top-of-the-range Panasonic 1080p Blu-Ray player. In reality it's an upgrade of their previous DMP-BD55, which was already an outstanding player in terms of picture- and sound quality, now with added online content such as YouTube and Amazon Video On Demand, via Panasonic Viera Cast.

When it comes to upconversion of your standard DVDs, the Panasonic DMP-BD80 is probably not the best player on the market - but when it comes to Blu-Ray playback - it's absolutely second to none! Some would argue that this is the exact reason why you would buy a Blu-Ray player - to watch Blu-Ray DVDs - and really, you can't argue with that.

Where the Panasonic DMP-BD80 1080p Blu-Ray player really stands out is the added High Clarity Audio bit that's been added to its name. The player decodes and converts these to any format you may desire, whether digital standard for new home movie systems, or analog standard for slightly older systems, and it does so outstandingly.

If you don't require these additional audio options, you may be better off going for the slightly less expensive Panasonic DMP-BD60 above, as it has the same Blu-Ray playback features. But - if you want a Blu-Ray player in a class of its own - there's no way round the Panasonic DMP-BD80 Blu-Ray player.

Panasonic is the first manufacturer to release a portable Blu-ray player with their DMP-B15 model. Some would say that this is one of the most useless gadgets around, since you can't get the HD experience on an 8.9in screen, and the sound is hardly going to be surround either - is it?

In the other camp we've got people jumping for joy at this move from Panasonic. Finally you have the option of taking your Blu-ray discs with you on the go - in stead of having to buy your favorite films in both Blu-ray format for the home cinema system - and DVDs for when you're on the go!

No doubt - the Panasonic Portable Blu-Ray player is not for you if you don't travel - and all your friends have Blu-ray players to go with their HD TVs. But if you're on the go a lot - and appreciate watching your movies in HD on this player or by connecting it to a HD TV (which you can do through a HDMI cable) - you need one of these babies!

When all is said and done - this is an outstanding product in terms of build quality, ease of use - and the actual quality of picture and sound. It has all the features you find on the Panasonic DMP-BD60 above, including Viera Cast, BD Live and so on. It comes with both an AC adaptor and an in-car DC charger, in case the 3hrs of battery life isn't enough for you.

Sure - there's a price tag to owning this Panasonic Portable Blu-ray player - but if it's portability you're after, it's worth every single penny spent!

If and when you decide to go for one of the above Panasonic Blu Ray players, it makes good sense to have a look at investing in a Panasonic HD TV.

Under all circumstances you're going to need a HD TV to get the most from a Blu-Ray player, but why am I advising you to buy one of the same make?

There's two reasons for that! First of all, Panasonic is a well renowned manufacturer of TV's, and has been a market leader in this field for many years, on the cutting edge of new developments.

Next, if you get your home cinema units from the same manufacturer, the products will have been made to work together perfectly. Not only will you get a better sound and picture that way, but operating your equipment is much, much easier, since you can typically do everything from one and the same remote control.

Below you'll find a list of the best selling Panasonic HD TV's. Granted - they do come at a premium - but as indicated above, you get what you pay for, and Panasonic HD TV's are a cut above the rest!

Because Amazons prices on some items is lower than the manufacturer's suggested retail price, the manufacturer does not allow them to show you their price until you place the item in your shopping cart. Retailers like Amazon have the legal right to set their own prices independently. Adding the item to your cart allows Amazon to show you their price.

You're not required to purchase the product. You can easily remove it from your cart if you decide not to buy it. Of cause this can appear a bit inconvenient - but for savings in excess of 20% of the list price - who would mind a few clicks of the mouse?
