Excellent blu ray disc player loaded with options.
The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is an excellent dvd player. It raises the bar on blu ray players so other manufactures will have to surpass in order to be able to compete on quality and price. The panasonic bd60k player features a phl reference chroma processor plus digital video processor. (according to panasonic website this processor produces crisp, natural colors so are greatly faithful to the original movie and features the advanced encoding and authoring technologies developed by panasonic hollywood laboratory (phl) in collaboration with film industry professionals.) The beautiful images are complemented by an accurate sound achieved leading-edge audio technologies such since dolby digital plus, dolby truehd and dts-hd. The player outputs 1080p/24fps. The remote receive an excellent layout and easy to benefir interface.
What led me to buy this player over other players was the ethernet capability, usb harbor & sd card slots, viera cast and 1080p up-conversion. Some of these features are available in other players except to my knowledge not all are available in single single player since is the case with bd60k. The viera cast presently lets single access you tube videos and picasa web albums. Panasonic receive announced so amazon vod (video on demand) will soon be available on viera cast. In my endure both the picasa web albums and the you tube videos worked very well. The pictures on picasa website are very crisp and in high resolution (but accompanied every time by the same background music so gets annoying to listen to over and over again). You tube videos look okay (but grainy if expanded to cover the screen). One cool down feature is the ability to continually jest videos through your search single after the other. The amazon vod is not available yet so i can’t comment on it, except i am eagerly expecting its launch through viera cast.
I upgraded the player to 1.5 version of firmware using the ethernet harbor and i had absolutely no problems after upgrading the firmware. I am using the panasonic blu ray player with the onkyo 805 receiver and a 1080p overhead mitsubishi lcd projector (hc4900) on a carada precision series 106″ projection screen and the blu ray picture quality (pq) is absolutely stunning. The pq for standard definition dvd is bearable on a projection screen and not the same quality since the blu ray dvd. I also played this dvd player through a 42″ panasonic plasma tv (720p) and the pq for standard definition dvd or blu ray dvd is outstanding. There can be no guarantee for technological obsolescence in today’s fast changing world except the panasonic bdp-bd60k holds promise.
