Thoughts on the Pioneer BDP-LX58 player please?

[Deleted member 2457]

I am guessing it has two hdmi outputs for 3D with an old receiver, yes?

It gets a great review from WHF.

I was thinking about trading in my B&W Zeppelin Air for one, what do you think?

What's wrong with the Blu-ray player you've got now?

Not a lot, it's been brilliant in fact. Just fancied the Pioneer though.

money better spent on calibration Gel

 

[rocketrazor]

Gel you have more money than sense mate

, enjoy what you have as there wont be that much difference and treat yourself to a holiday instead

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Looks like I am going to have to sell my Zeppelin then. *smile*

 

[ellisdj]

Sod the holiday spend the money on av equipment.

A holiday is a bleating memory av kit is for life 🙂

 

[strapped for cash]

av kit is for life 🙂

In Gel's case AV purchases can have a shorter shelf life than a pint of milk!

For what it's worth, Gel, there's really no upgrade value in a new BDP, though we've been here many times before... *smile*

I'm not sure he does, that's the problem.

Quite right.

Calibration!

Calibration!

The settings Strapped gave me are working treat.

 

[ellisdj]

They are only close, probably not that close though in reality.

You willl get more PQ benefit from Calibration than changing player and it add value to the TV

Cheers mate, I can't see it adding value though, I think I will stick to the new settings I have.

BB still had it done on my VT65. People like to get it done themselves for their own setups. I will upgrade in a matter of years too.

Save up for a 4K player. Worst time to buy a blu ray player especially since you have one already in perfect condition.

Yep, cheers BB.

Ellisdj, you should know gel very well by now. Please don't encourage him to spend where it's not needed.

 

[Series1boy]

Didn't you have your VT calibrated by canary jules before you sold it to BB?

 

[ellisdj]

He is using the $$$ from the B&W zeppelin sale now he has bought a muso so technically you could say he is getting it done for free ....

 

[bigboss]

No, he just spent £630 on the Muso, that's where the Zeppelin money will go. Nothing's free.

Yep, I did that's not what I said, but then Vincent or whatever his name calibrated it too for BB. You have to have it sorted for your room and light, but I can't be bothered this time, the money will go on my next TV.
