Pioneer LX-71 or LX-51

[admin_exported]

Been looking at the specs for these 2 Blu-ray players and they look identical with the exception that LX-71 is almost £200 more expensive. Does anyone know why? I know that LX-71 is a good player but is it £200 better than LX-51?

We're just finishing a test of the very-impressive-so-far LX-51 - we'll get it posted up this week.

Hi Clare,

Can the WHF team compare the LX-51 versus the already tested Sony 550 and award winning Panasonic 55 in the review and rank the 3 players accordingly?

Thanks!

We can do better than that - next issue (out January 9th) comparatively tests every Blu-ray player we can get our hands on - from bargain players (Bush, LG, Sharp, Sony 350, Pana 35, Sony PS3) through midrange (Sony 550, Panasonic 55, Pioneer 51, Pioneer 71, Denon 1800BD) to high-end (Denon 2500BT, Denon 3800BD). Think there's a couple more in there i've forgotten, too!
