Blu-ray Player Recommendations (Part 2)

Filed Under Blu-ray

Earlier this year I made a post about which Blu-ray players I would recommend and did so with the caveat that those recommendations would have a shelf life of about a month. Ok so it was two, I was close.

Back in March with the different player profiles just starting to be sorted out and no real profile 2.0 titles available to speak of, I was perfectly comfortable recommending the Panasonic DMP-BD30K. While I still consider it a capable player it’s not the one I would recommend today.

Panasonic’s BD-Live capable DMP-BD50 is where I’d put my money if I were in the market again. The player features Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color and x.v. Color, 1080p/24 playback and 5.1ch analog audio outs.

For roughly $170 more than the DMP-BD30K was available for you can have a final profile player with just about every feature currently available on any Blu-ray player, kind of a no-brainer among today’s players. Of course that landscape changes all the time and when it does I’ll revisit this post yet again.
