Sony BDP-S390 Review

Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black)

Sony BDP-S390 Review

I've being searching around for a great Net streamer as well as Bluray/DVD player. I've tried many players from Sony (last years x80 series) and players from Panasonic including their new BDT-220 2012 player. The Sony S390 for me (and the equivalent S590) in my eyes are the best players out there right now.

Netflix has being drastically updated on the 2012 Sony players with a brand new user interface and support for 1080p/Dolby Digital + audio. Similarly the Amazon VOD app has had a update and supports Dolby Digital audio bitstream. HULU+ and Vudu are pretty much as they were on the 2011 Sony players, and work fine, although it would be nice if Sony move the HULU+ app from the PS3 over to this player. The iPhone app comes in handy for text input to quickly find a movie, or show .. but for whatever reason this feature does not work currently with Netflix or Vudu text searching.

Bluray and DVDs playback are great with awesome picture quality. No issues to report. No issues playing any DVD or Bluray disk I tried.

The main player interface uses Sony's Cross Media Bar and functionally works fine. Moving from app to app is responsive and not laggy. There's a new Sony Entertainment Network (SEN)"home" portal coming soon, which is suppose to offer a way to organize your apps using favorites, so that should be handy.

If you want a solid Network streamer and great disk player, I highly recommend the Sony S390 (and S590 which also supports 3D)

Panasonic DMP-BDT320 Review

Panasonic DMP-BDT320 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player

Panasonic DMP-BDT320 Review

I bought this unit to replace a Panasonic BDT-310 that I was giving to my brother to upgrade his 3D qualities. The BDT-310 was a great player and when setup for 3D in the manual mode the 3D affect was spectacular. So seeing that Panasonic had a new model wth a new video chip I decided to upgrade both myself and my brother's units.
I am a former engineer and technically savvy. I read comments that people were having trouble with the new remote and problems with the wifi setup. It took about ten minutes to learn how to use the remote. I pushed the EPA button then hit start on the player and it connected perfectly. The picture is awesome and there are additional audio settings to play with. I found with my other player making adjustments to the manual 3D settings gave me a fantastic 3D picture when watching a 2D movie in the 3D mode. I am lucky that my TV allows me to adjust brightness and contrast differently for a simulated 3D, full 3D and regular TV viewing. This allows me to compensate and correct for the darker picture you get when wearing the 3 D glasses.

I wish that they had put disc eject feature on the remote, but that is a very small inconvenience to deal with to get the fantastic picture and sound this unit produces. I was watching a Tanning DVD and would have sworn it was a Blu-ray disc the picture was that good.

To sum it up, don't be swayed by some negative comments as the unit is fantastic. The people complaining probably can't work a microwave or taster over properly LOL.

LG BD630 Network Blu-ray Disc Player

LG BD630 Review

We've been using it for almost a year and it has worked great. Great features and quality at a steal of a price. One feature that I like is that you can hook a USB hard drive to it and play VOB video files. Really convenient for your movie backups. This may be changed in more recent firmware updates though. It also upscales DVDs and other video formats very nicely. I'm not a videophile or Blu-Ray hardware geek, but I can't see how you're going to get better at this price point.

OPPO BDP-93 Review

OPPO BDP-93 Universal Network 3D Blu-ray Disc Player

OPPO BDP-93 Review

To echo all the other reviewers, this universal disk player is absolutely provides absolutely outstanding performance both visually and sonically. But, to add to the owner's experience, I would like to focus on the customer support aspect of Oppo. I emailed them on a Sunday evening that I was experiencing stuttering video on the LIFE BBC blu-ray disks (the Oprah Winfrey version). I was emailed back within an hour, ON A SUNDAY night, and advised to download a beta firmware. Since it was a beta firmware, I downloaded it to a USB drive and upgraded my BDP-93 easily using the front USB port (no fumbling behind a large AV stand!). I have downloaded official firmware upgrades seamlessly using both a wired and wireless network connection. The USB loading of the beta firmware went flawlessly (USB drive was recognized immediately with a beta firmware and uploaded by the Oppo-93 automatically. And, lo and behold, it worked! The beta firmware which also fixed a HUMAN PLANET BBC blu-ray playback issue fixed the playback issues with my LIFE blu-ray. Amazing customer service to email back on a Sunday night within an hour and provide the correct firmware upgrade. What are the chances a major electronics manufacturer such as Sony, Samsung, Pioneer, etc would be able to provide this?

LG BD670 3D Review

LG BD670 3D Wireless Network Blu-ray Disc Player with Smart TV

LG BD670 3D Review

Purchased the player several weeks ago. Very pleased with the product. Very easy to set up and connect to internet. The automatic software update process worked perfectly and quickly. The suite of applications it comes with is more than I could ever use. Netflix was easy to set up and access; works perfectly with no fuss. Remote is nicely designed and connectivity with LG TV is helpful.

The only minor glitch would be related to playing Blu-ray disks that I have authored using Apple Final Cut Pro X. Out of the box the player would not recognize the disk. It recognized the disk fine after software update. However, a week later it again failed to recognize the disk. In the end the only fix that worked was to unplug it, thereby forcing the player to go through its complete boot sequence. Has worked fine since.

Otherwise, quite a few features for the price.

I tend to line up with the professional reviewers who were very positive about the player. The consumer reviews were a tad less positive, primarily on usability issues: I personally had no problems at all and found it very easy to set up and use.

Sony BDP-S590 Review

Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black)

Sony BDP-S590 Review

At this point, I have made the rounds. I first bought a refurb Panasonic BDT210, thinking the black flashes would be fixed. They weren't. Sent it back. Then, I ordered a Panasonic BDT220. Very nice player with great picture and sound quality, and excellent streaming. Problem was there was a soft, distinct, rhythmic, gulping sound when playing discs, especially with DVDs. Exchanged it for another. The second machine had wireless connection issues. Return it rather than face a headache. Heard really good things about the BDP S390 and 590. Skeptical at first since I have been a diehard Panasonic player fan. Hooked up the Sony. Smooth as silk setup with wireless. No problem at all. Zip, zip, zip. That made me instantly happy. Very user friendly. Quiet player too. Not silent, but no disturbing sounds. Then there was the picture quality. Wow. The Panny is great, but the 590 is photographic. Beautiful picture. Great sound as well. Quick disc loading (though the Panny may be an insignificant touch quicker). Excellent streaming with a fine picture (extra hi/HD even with wireless). Navigating apps is smooth and quick. Amazon's user interface could use some tweaking when it comes to search and selection, but I get my Prime movies with no issues. I can't comment on USB and external files because I don't use them. The PQ on this player along with the smooth and friendly user interface got me to such a degree, I ended up ordering a second one for my other TV. I'm very happy with how things turned out. It's been a long haul, but Sony gets an A+ from me on this player.

Please note: Updating the firmware on this player can take a few minutes. It's quicker when the player is hard wired. The player has to be turned on again after the update is completely finished. Also, Sony customer support was friendly, responsive, and helpful when I called asking about the update. :) Panny needs to improve the quality of their customer service. Rather cut and dry in my experience.

Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Review

This is a great player for the price. Never had a Blu-ray before and I expected the setup to be more difficult. The built in WI-FI connected to our wireless network with no problems. I needed to do a firmware update, but it was easy and quick. Within 10 minutes, the player was registered with our Amazon Prime account and we were watching an instant video.

Blu-ray discs look great, but I expected that. The surprise was how much better our old DVD's look using this player.

I highly recommend this product.
