Panasonic has been very committed to Blu-ray since its inception. Two months ago at the CEDIA trade show, they announced two new Blu-ray players, which I blogged about here.
We’ll be taking a closer look at one of the players, the DMP-BD35K.
The player is the real deal. It is profile 2.0, so it’s BD-Live capable. In terms of capabilities, this player does it all. It internally decodes the lossless audio codecs Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. However, for those who have modern day receivers or processors, you also have the option to bit-stream the lossless audio codecs for the receiver or processor to decode.
An SD Card memory slot is also built into the player, allowing it to become your virtual gallery. Playback of blu-ray films is at 1080p/24, so you get picture quality that is unrivaled by anything commercially available today. It will also upconvert your standard DVD movies, making them look as good as they can possibly look.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Panasonic DMP-BD35K is a workhorse of a player. The fact that it is significantly cheaper than the Playstation 3 makes it a viable option for people who want blu-ray playback without having to buy a game console. It’s a no brainer to me, and the fact that it’s selling like hotcakes proves that it’s a no brainer to many others as well.
