As the Panasonic DMP-BD55 bluray player is product of the year with What HiFi i decided to do some research as iv been very interested in getting one untill i read this on CNETs website:
"In sum, the DMP-BD55 and the PS3 offer essentially identical image-quality performance. Additionally, the differences in image quality between any one Blu-ray player and the next is generally fairly small--pretty much all the players put out a great-looking picture that blows DVD away. So, while the DMP-BD55 does look great--and we were particularly pleased with how it handled video-based material--only picky videophiles will appreciate the minor differences."
"For what it's worth, Panasonic emphasizes the superiority of the DMP-BD55's internal analog-audio components, although we didn't hear any improvement over the standard HDMI output."
"As good as the DMP-BD55 is, unless you intend to use the analog outputs on your Blu-ray player, go with the less expensive DMP-BD35."
"We will note that the DMP-BD55 still offers a significantly inferior experience to the PS3 on these interactive features--the PS3 is just faster, and its built-in hard drive is more convenient."
This has clearly left me confused, someone HELP
