Panasonic DMP-BD30EG-K

[admin_exported]

i am thinking of getting a panasonic DMP-BD30EG-K, i have heard all the reviews how good of a blu ray player it is, but what is it like as a upscaler for all my dvd's

In the latest 'What Hi Fi?' mag, in the sound advise section near the back, look at the article headed 'Upgrading in stages to high-def sound'.

In the article, it is suggested by the what hi fi staff that the 'pana will deliver as good a DVD image' as the cambridge Audio Azur 540D v2 DVD player (£250, 5 star rated machine).

I have an article in this forum called 'Blu-Ray players playing DVD's - as good as a dedicated DVD player?' Have a look, as Clare from 'What hi fi?' suggests that the pana would be better to buy than the Denon DVD 1940, (latest Best DVD Award Under £300 player) and others similar.

Hope that helps......

............and then there's this review which is quite a put off if you are perhaps contemplating the purchase of the Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu Ray Player which ends by saying

Sadly, the plethora of extras can't make up for the Panasonic DMP-BD30's relatively lacklustre image and sound quality.

and other comments referred to: Unfortunately, the Panasonic DMP-BD30 displayed washed-out images on our 50in Pioneer plasma television. One of our jurors noted a tendency to "lose detail" in chapter 3 of the Blu-ray Disc version of 'Phantom of the Opera'; another juror noted that John Wayne's shirt and suspenders lost their three-dimensionality in a day-for-night scene from 'The Searchers' (chapter 20).

Perhaps the DMP-BD30 is more suited to TV's up to 42 ins......I guess the best thing is to go an audition it with the TV size you have in mind
