If you are interested in a Blu-ray player PP the only good one I can recommend is the Oppo 103.

What's wrong with it?

Completely faulty! Freezing constantly and image quality all broken up!

That's a shame mate. I assume you updated the firmware? Admittedly that sounds like more than a firmware issue.

I had one disc freeze once using my 651, but that was the day I received the player. Once I'd updated the firmware the disc played perfectly and I've had no other issues since.

It is being collected Monday now. Just packed it back up. It was ex-display too when I thought it would be new. It could barely work! No firmware updates.

Sorry to hear it did not work out but I'm not surprised. A few months ago I asked RS about a 751 listed in stock on their website and was told it was reserved. A week or so later I got saying 'we've got one now' but when I asked about the condition, they didn't seem to know much about it, had to go and check. It turns out the unit had no remote, instructions etc. I guess it was ex-demo, and likely to have been returned by the last customer because it had problems. I certainly didn't want to go there.

I know it is difficult for RS to manage these things but to not differentiate between end of line clearance items (a good deal) and questionable ex-demo stock (not a good deal in this case) doesn't seem right. It certainly left me with questions about RS and whether I would use them in the future.

Yep, not good.

There's always an element of risk buying end of line stock, which may be returned goods or ex-display items. At least with RS you have the option to return without question or hassle.
