Panasonic DMP-BD50 review

Can the first dedicated Profile 2.0 player live up to expectations?

BD Live compatibility ; Full DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD support

BD Live experience less than thrilling ; Average DVD playback

Despite a few niggles, this is a superb and well-specced Blu-ray player. Easy to recommend

Panasonic DMP-BD50 review

Panasonic's Blu-ray players just get better and better - the DMP-BD50 is is another resounding success

A great player that proves the format is finally coming of age – at only £500, it's a no brainer

Panasonic DMP-BD50

Panasonic DMP-BD50 is one of Panasonic's standalone Blu-ray players. The player looks a bit identical to DMP-BD30K and is compliant with Profile 2.0. It comes in black, and weighs around 3.3 kilograms. It features excellent soundtrack support and has...

It may be expensive, but the DMP-BD50 keeps your Hi-Def needs better fed than a foie gras goose! The best Blu-ray player yet. Panasonic DMP-BD50 is tagged with Blu-Ray, DVD player and Panasonic. Select a tag (Blu-Ray, for example) to find everything on...

Panasonic DMP-BD50

The pricey Panasonic DMP-BD50 offers the most Blu-ray features you can get, but it isn't for everyone.

Top-notch HD video processing. 1080p24 upconversion with DVD video. DivX video support. Can decode all Blu-ray audio formats.

Expensive. Optional memory card required for BD-Live features. DVD upconversion quality lags behind the competition.

Panasonic DMP-BD50 review: Panasonic DMP-BD50

Panasonic DMP-BD50

First Profile 2.0-compliant standalone player; excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs; onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, plus bit stream output; analog multichannel outputs; SDHC card slot can play high-definition AVCHD video.

Expensive compared with the superior PlayStation 3; standard DVD performance is lackluster; operational speed still sluggish compared with PS3.

Excellent soundtrack support and Profile 2.0-compliancy make the Panasonic DMP-BD50 the most recommendable standalone Blu-ray player to date, but the PS3 is still better and cheaper.

Panasonic DMP-BD50

Crisp HDTV picture with 24p support and plenty of video settings., SD-card reader., Decodes analog and digital high-bitrate audio., Supports BD-Live.

DVD de-interlacing is not perfect.

Panasonic's DMP-BD50 is a tasty package, and stands above even its highly-praised predecessor, the BD30. This powerful Blu-ray player retrieves HDTV-quality trailers and bonus material from the Internet, and masters various multimedia applications.

Panasonic DMP-BD50 Blu-ray Player Reviewed

The Panasonic DMP-BD50 ($599.95) is one of the first Profile 2.0 players to hit the market. The Profile 2.0 designation means it contains the secondary audio and video decoders needed for picture-in-picture playback, and it supports the BD-Live feature...

Panasonic DMP-BD50 Blu-ray Player

It has been two years since Blu-ray trickled onto the scene with the launch of the Samsung BD-P1000 and some less-than-stellar-looking movies. The combination of a faulty player setting and some poor-quality masters had many wondering if Blu-ray could...
