Toshiba BDX2000 1080p Blu-ray Disc PlayerOver the past decade, there has been a phenomenal amount of crossover between computer technology and TV technology. This is especially surprising given the fact that most Americans have largely rejected the idea of a living room computer. However, most of the computer technology that has found its way into the living room hasn’t had the overt appearance of a personal computer.

Blu-ray is a new optical disc standard based on the use of a blue laser rather than the red laser of dvd players. It is not just a format for high-definition video and audio, it’s a higher-capacity disc format. This format is currently supported by more than 180 of the world’s leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies.
Blu-ray players capable of showing picture-in-picture - a feature called “bonus view” - have only just started to appear. The discs will not play on current cd and dvd players, because they lack the blue-violet laser required to read them. The disc players (BDPs) are available from a number of manufacturers, including Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and Sony.

Top #1 Panasonic DMP-BD65 Blu-Ray Disc Player (Black)Overall Rating (8/10) |

| Review by Keith A. Mesch (Mid-West USA) 2010-07-26 All positives for this Panasonic Blu-Ray player. I got it out of the box, plugged it in, connected the ethernet cable and then sat back to watch outstanding video. Setup time was less than 15 minutes and it was really easy to get it plugged into the surround sound amp. The sound from the Blu-Ray is probably the most amazing part of this technology....

Top #2 Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray Disc PlayerOverall Rating (8/10) |

| Review by Doug Pardee (USA) 2010-07-20 I have a Sony large-screen TV that's pretty darned good. A Sony home theater system-in-a-box that's okay. But the BDP-S570 doesn't work. I've spent a month, a lot of time on the phone with Sony, and extra money for networking equipment; I've replaced the unit I had for another, and it's still DOA. I've returned the replacement unit for a refund, an... Read more Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray reviews | ||

Top #3 Sony BDP-S360 1080p Blu-ray Disc PlayerOverall Rating (8/10) |

| Review by John Peter Altgeld (Ann Arbor, MI USA) 2010-07-11 I received the Sony BDP-S360 player in mid-February and used it for both Blu-ray and regular DVD discs. The picture quality is OK, but disc loading time is glacially slow. Given the relatively low price I paid for the player, I could live with the slowness. What I can't live with is that the player failed by the end of June, four and a half mont... Read more Sony BDP-S360 1080p reviews | ||

| Review by Carl W. Flach (alameda, ca United States) 2010-07-27 When Sony won the HD contest with Toshiba I instantly bought a Sony BD player, no WiFi at that time. After a year and a half it quit. I didn't want to have it repaired. I then bought a Samsung BD-C6500 as it had builtin WiFi. This feature failed to remember the router code meaning that I had to reprogram it every time I wanted to watch a Netflix mo... Read more Panasonic DMP-BD85K WiFi reviews | ||

| Review by Britt Mayo (Houston, TX) 2010-07-29 The player worked perfectly out of the box, and joined my home wireless network on the first try. It has good wireless sensitivity (signals are weak in this far corner of my house), and plays even HD (720p) YouTube videos crisply (don't have enough signal strength for 1080p, even on my PC). The apps are somewhat handy, albeit rudimentary. I thin... Read more Samsung BD-C6500 1080p reviews | ||

| Review by whitetiger (USA) 2010-07-27 The no 1 feature of the player is its homelink thingy. It recognized all the drives connected to the seagate network adapter. and played all the various video formats. Bru Ray looks very stunning, this is my first Blue Ray player, so cannot compare, but am really impressed with the upgrade. The regular DVDs looks a little bit better, s...

| Review by Bargain hunter (NJ) 2010-07-30 I had to buy this to watch 3D on my Samsung UN55C8000 LED TV. The model is very slick and light. The touch based controls are good. It loads discs very fast. Except for 3D it is just like any other Blu-ray player. Do hook it up to internet and update the Firmware (regularly). The Internet and Apps are good. The 3D capability is good (Alient vs Mons... Read more Samsung BD-C6900 1080p reviews | ||
