Since Bluray has elevated the market for a while my targets from any player were high.
Requirements for a BDPlayer -
- Should load in addition to play blurays quick and fast
- Video and Audio quality should be very good
- Ought to play apps like Netflix, Amazon, Picasa, BLockbuster, Pandora and more
- Will need to have a HDMI connection
- Remote should be simple to use and work from a good range (distance, left and righ angles)
- Should have ability to connect to internet (ethernet or wireless)
- Must have a laptop usb port to plug in a flash drive
- Must play jpegs, audio and alternative video files
This player, from this outer looks, is simple and non-flattering. But once I powered that on it was only a a few seconds that it was ready.
Concerning an ethernet-to-wireless adapter. Plugged the ethernet cable behind the BDplayer and within seconds it linked to Internet.
Firmware upgrades were automatic (the idea asks if you want to apply them) and they completed within a few minutes. Very smooth operation.
The key menu for the player was a piece of cake to navigate and setting were simple and easy , self-explanatory.
I put in some sort of Bluray and the disk loaded quickly (compared to a Samsung player I had earlier which was supposedly among the quickest to load disks). I played unique blurays and all worked just excellent. Very happy with this.
What blew my mind was the quality of the image rendered. The video was easy, flawless, vibrant and more detailed this any other player I have witnessed or used so far. TV settings remaining the same, the quality regarding video from this player was as good as other bluray players I have connected.
Audio is smooth, in-sync while using the video and flawless.
Forward, reverse for blurays is quick, responsive and quite fluid.
I connected to Netflix also it pulled my instant list along with other suggestions, genres etc. Navigating it had been easy. Playback was smooth. Audio and Video were in sync. Forward and reverse worked smoothly. Again the online video media quality of Netflix was better than other players.
I played Friends DVD in it and was surprised to find out the improvement in video quality above regular DVD player or other bluray player. The DVD was upconverted. However I could still make out the gap in quality compared to BD, I was still very very happy with the particular up-conversion quality.
Have not subjected to testing the 3D capability yet.
The out of the way worked from 35 feet distance in addition to from a wide angles (left-proper). Design of remote is very simple and easy sleek. I like smaller buttons. Some individuals prefer larger buttons. They may unlike the remote. But then one can invariably setup a universal remote to upgrade this one.
In brief, I do not have anything but praise for this player. Time period will tell how long it lasts. I'll post my feedback after a couple of months.
