Which blu-ray to buy???

by ukman2003 Oct 27, 2008 3:12AM PDT

Hi there!

I'm picking out a new blu-ray player for my bedroom, and noticed the CNET TV Review you guys did on the Panasonic DMP-BD35 and 55, and thought it was a great player, but was wondering how it rates against a Samsung BD-P2550, and against the PS3. I'm looking for picture quality, as well SD upconversion, also for easy upgradable firmware, in other words how future proof the player will be.

Thanks for any info you guys might have.

Ryan

the samsung 2500 is the best at upscaling right now because it has the HQV chip, decodes all HD audio, 7.1 analogs outs & future proof (BD-live out of the box).
