Is the panny bd-30 the best out there right now or is there something out there better? I have a marantz sr 8002 so i want to take advantage of the dts-ma and the dolby Truehd. Is the sammy 1500 better than the panny?

Agreed... but the OP didn't mention a price constraint.

On panasonics website they only show the bd-30, no mention of a bd50.

I still disagree. I have had both side by side and at 1080p/24 they are nearly identical. If the denon was truly "the best" it should have been light years better in pic Q with Blu ray titles.

Good points Joe. I've always felt in the video world 'best' should primarily be defined as the unit having the best picture quality. The fact is that probably none of us, if a true blind A/B test were conducted, could tell the difference between any of the current BR players while playing BR movies. I'm not talking upconversion capabilities, but straight 24p playing of BR movies. This is why, if picture quality is your primary concern, there's little reason to overpay for some of the units out there. Do you really care if the unit weight 5lbs or 20lbs if it gives you the same picture quality? Some do, I don't.

Now we agree. I do like the 2500 and what it brings to the table. As far as 1080p/24 Ken I agree with you 100%. There is hardly any difference with 1080p/24 and that is the most important feature to me... That and deep color!![]()
