Blu-ray Players

All players support the requisite (but hardly-used) 3D and come with HDMI 1.4a outputs. As you'd expect, all the new players can upconvert video to 1080p via HDMI and 36-Bit Deep Color is supported for compatible displays.

Yamaha's new Aventage series is a crop of top-flight AV components that the blurb says is a dramatic and inspired leap forward. They are clearly not talking cosmetically, because the flagship BD-A1010 networked Blu-ray player is a chunky and...

Though it costs more than many competitors, the Samsung BD-C7900 offers excellent images, 3D, ease of use, and all the Internet and multimedia trimmings.

We bought this a couple of weeks ago and very happy so far.

The LG BP530 has built-in Wi-Fi and a good selection of apps, but there are just enough quirks to keep it from being a top Blu-ray player pick.

The Sony NSZ-GT1 combines Google TV and Blu-ray in a single box, but Sony's frustrating controller, the high price, and Google TV's content issues make it a tough sell.

This review is mainly for the USB-DAC and headphone amplifier of the 105D which is 90% of what i use it for. I bought this unit instead of a dedicated head amp because sometimes I also play SACD's and concert DVD's. I am a music lover/ audiophile...

This is a very nice piece of kit! The Oppo feels well made and stylish, and comes with a remote that did not get on my nerves yet (backlit and buttons in different shapes you can find your way around without looking at it). The picture quality is...

This equipment is replacing a Sony PS3 used only as a Blu Ray and Network Video Player, a Yamaha S-1800 DVD/SACD Player and a NAD M5 CD/SACD player. The high quality of Oppo starts from the packaging. During the unpacking you really get the feeling of...

Works fine other than occasionally the menu seems to lock up and it requires unplugging it and then plugging it back in to reset it.

I would have left 5 stars, but one thing that really shouldnt be a issue. What is that one thing?, the power light, a powerlight. Just a inner glowing from somewhere inside that can be slightly detected would have been nice. Or, maybe a visual icon on...

The LG BP645 is a very good mid-range Blu-Ray player. It includes playback of 3D Blu-Ray disks, upscaling of DVDs to 1080p HD, and support for Smart TV, including the BBC iPlayer, Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, Blinkbox and YouTube. It's also excellent...

We’ve already covered Samsung's 2013 soundbar lineup and hometheater lineup, both of which impressed us, but the Blu-ray lineup is a littlemore lackluster. Don’t get us wrong, the units are fine, and Samsung’s SmartHubis an industry leader, but as a...

If you just want the ability to play Blu-rays and streaming content, along with a fairly robust support list for audio and video via a USB device, the BDP-S1100 has everything you need. Stepping up to the BDP-3100 will make sense for those who want...

Bringing things right up to date we find an HDMI output and Ethernet port, the latter providing an alternative to the deck’s built in Wi-Fi. There are three audio outputs to choose from – optical, coaxial and analogue stereo – and a second USB port...

A quirky, eye-catching Blu-ray deck with features galore

Possibly the worst product I have ever bought.... The DVD never remembers where it left off and the whole system is very crude and slow to load and crashes regularly. I contacted the Samsung 'helpline' who admitted that the processor struggles to keep...

The Samsung BD-H8500M is not just a Freeview PVR - it also packs in a 3D Blu-ray player and access to a host of online content. It's a slick-looking machine, but is it good enough to rival Best Buy PVRs? We sent one to our lab to take a closer look.
