In Reply to: Blu-ray player suggestions? posted by jimbill on December 4, 2008 at 09:54:05:
What's the best video input on your plasma? Component? DVI? HDMI?
Your receiver may be analog, but is it stereo or multi-channel (5.1 or 7.1)?
Don't worry about your display: Blu-ray and plasma will make love to your eyes. Seriously, why deprive yourself and others in your home of the best High Definition A/V technology that the consumer has ever had access to? Player prices have come way down since introduction (Black Friday saw Wal-Mart offer a $128 Blu-ray player) and there are numerous sales going on for the software (I just purchased 5 Blu-ray movies from Amazon.com for under $60 -- shipped).
If I had to get a stand-alone now, I'd get a Panasonic DMP-BD55. If I had to get a stand-alone and could wait a few months, I'd probably get an oppo BDP-83. Since I don't have to do either, I own a PS3 (aka Blu-ray's Dr Kick-Ass machine).
