Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player Reviewed

TrustedReviews has reviewed the Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-Ray player.
Of course the Panasonic DMP-BD10 supports Blu-ray disc playback, it features also the EZ-Sync HDAVI control function allowing users to connect other devices easily. It plays also DVDs and CDs. It supports 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks and has HDMI output.
TrustedReviews says:
From a performance perspective, there’s no denying that the DMP-BD10 is a sensational product and in terms of features it’s miles better than the Samsung BD-P1000. But there’s also no denying the fact that it’s wildly overpriced, costing nearly three times as much as the Toshiba HD-E1 HD DVD deck and twice as much as the step-up HD-XE1.
Having seen the picture quality of both the HD-E1 and the DMP-BD10, there isn’t GBP850 worth of difference in picture quality between the two (or even GBP550 at street prices), even taking into consideration the BD10’s 1080p capability. And when you consider that the Panasonic lacks the Ethernet connection found on the two HD DVD decks, then it becomes even harder to justify its lofty price tag.
With more Blu-ray decks being launched in 2007 and the PS3 just around the corner it’s far too early to predict who’ll win the fight to become the hi-def replacement for DVD, but one thing’s for sure: HD DVD has won round one.
