Nothing of note

Panasonic DMP-BD85 review

 

Panasonic has added new AV and networking features to its top-of-the-range BD-spinner

Wi-Fi support and networking ; Overall picture and sound performance

Sluggish in places ; Wi-Fi not built in ; Picture and music streaming only

This is one of the best Blu-ray players that Panasonic have ever built but it's not without its flaws

Panasonic DMP-BD85 review

 

It comes with a cavalcade of fancy features, including 7.1-channel surround sound, advanced 1080p upscaling, an SD/SDHC memory card slot, two USB ports, wireless networking, gold-plated analogue audio outputs and Picasa/YouTube browsing. Video quality...

The Panasonic DMP-BD85 is a feature-packed Blu-ray player that boasts great playback performance. Unfortunately, it is slightly let down by its load times and sluggish interface.

Panasonic DMP-BD85 review

 

The BD85 takes Panasonic back to the top tier of the Blu-ray wedding cake

It may be on the premium side of budget, but the BD85 is well worth the extra cash

Panasonic DMP-BD85 Blu-ray player

 

A high-end Panasonic Blu-ray player with Wi-Fi connectivity and 7.1 analog audio

Superb Blu-ray performance, attractive design, lots of connectivity options for audiophiles, Wi-Fi enabled

Sluggish interface, slow BD load times, Wi-Fi setup could be more beginner-friendly

The Panasonic DMP-BD85 is a feature-packed Blu-ray player that boasts great playback performance. Unfortunately, it is slightly let down by its load times and sluggish interface.

Panasonic DMP-BD85: Mediocre Images, Annoying Menus

 

Features aren't everything. The Panasonic DMP-BD85 does all that a modern Blu-ray player should do. It plays Blu-ray discs and DVDs, and streams video over the Internet from Netflix, YouTube, and other popular sources. Stick a flash drive into it, and...

Two USB ports ; Excellent Internet video options ; Access to geeky information

Unspectacular image quality ; Ugly and difficult on-screen display

The DMP-BD85 offers only middle-of-the-road image quality and an ugly, confusing menu system, which together make this Blu-ray player a poor value.

Panasonic DMP-BD85K review: Panasonic DMP-BD85K

 

Panasonic DMP-BD85K

Excellent Blu-ray image quality; Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, and YouTube streaming; Wi-Fi capable with included USB dongle; 7.1 analog outputs; plays music, videos, and pictures off a connected USB drive or SD card.

Competing models don't need a dongle for Wi-Fi; sluggish, despite superfast "quick start" mode; selection of streaming sources is on the small side; user interface is outdated and Wi-Fi difficult to setup; not DLNA compliant; no 3D Blu-ray support; no...

Panasonic's DMP-BD85K has great image quality and its 7.1 analog outputs are a nice plus, but it's slow and less featured than competing models.
