Toshiba BDX5200 review

That will save you some extra cash compared with our top-rated midrange players like the Panasonic DMP-BDT210 and LG BD670 , but you're giving up quite a bit. The BDX5200 is considerably slower than typical 2011 Blu-ray players, it offers fewer...

The Toshiba BDX5200 has built-in Wi-Fi, 3D compatibility, a simple user interface, and a few high-quality streaming-media services, including Netflix, Vudu, and Pandora. It's also less expensive than many competing midrange Blu-ray players.

Competing Blu-ray players have more streaming media services and more features, including DLNA compatibility and smartphone control. The BDX5200 is also considerably slower than other midrange players, especially at disc-loading. We also experienced...

The Toshiba BDX5200 costs a little less than competing midrange Blu-ray players, but you'll miss out on worthwhile extra features and speedy performance.

Toshiba BDX5200

It's not perfect, but a robust feature set, fast performance, and a reasonable price tag make the Toshiba BDX5200 one of the better under-$200 Blu-ray players you can buy.

Inexpensive. Fast BD-Live disc playback. Integrated Wi-Fi. 3D. Good noise reduction.

Slight judder under certain rare conditions. No component video or optical audio outputs. Interface feels a bit sluggish.

Total Junk!

I bought this Blu Ray Player when I bought my new Toshiba HD tv. It took several weeks and many calls to tech support to get the wifi connected. Took even longer to connect to Netflix. After using only minimally, it won't even turn on. Don't waste your...
