Get a regular place in the living room!

First I want to mark that I could not really make up my mind when buying. Therefore, I looked at the (in my opinion) of the best 3D Blu-Ray player ordered and even tested, according to my criteria, which may not coincide with those of other users. On the one hand there's the Panasonic DMP-BDT111 and the Philips BDP7600 course. At the Panasonic I have not written in accordance with an extra recession, but here it should just go to the Philips, although I'm maybe a little therefore comparison. (It should be forgiven me)

First right packaging: is could not care less, mainly the device is safe and works, and that does it! By the way, the packaging was also OK.

The device produces a high-quality impression with a rather futuristic shape that I like very much. The sensor keys front of the device are chic. The buttons do not respond to pressure, but only on light touch, a touch is enough. However, you need them quite rare. You can also turn on the FB as well as pause or stop. The eject button is then already used frequently, although there is also the FB also a button (stop button hold briefly).

For SOUNDS AS tiresome subject, I would say that makes such a device happens to noise. When loading of titles, sequences and discs. Not to hear during playback and normal volume. I've read a lot of people, where the noise would be too loud. For this I want to say, if they want to the BDP does not sound at all out there, they have to close your eyes and a Blu-Ray dream. I can arrange any problems with the volume me anyway.

Of course I was excited once in the HD quality on power. Which is as expected terrific. However, I think that today, the HD image on other players just as good (only tested on my first and only BD "Braveheart").
The 3D image I could not test, because I play 48 "plasma in 6-year-old Panasonic. But it is not important to me also because I want to wait so immature to 3D without glasses and is affordable.

About the DVD upscaling I have already read many good reports and was actually a little disappointed. The image is "optimized" means higher saturation, contrast, brightness and noise reduction. That looks but made artificially so that the could not be long endure. Even the choppy stuttering in fast sequences was very disturbing. However, that was also at the Panasonic BDP so, and its upscaling was also very praised by renowned magazines. Therefore I believed that that was normal. Only later, when I had played around a bit in the video settings, the picture was OK, but not so much better than on a DVD player. For older movies, the upscaling looks natural from more than newer ones. I tested had included "Aristocats", "Lord of the Rings", "Eclipse", "Clash of the Titans" and "King Kong".

Various gimmicks like Net TV, DLNA and iPhone control were not important to me, because I did not want to use these features, as well as BD-Live. That's why I can not comment on this. But if I really want to enter times in these options, it's nice that I can and not have to change the device.

Now comes a point of me was most important, playing from USB devices. I have several hard drives (with or without external power supply) and sticks tested with a variety of formats. It did not matter whether the media was formatted with FAT32 or NTFS. The BDP had unhesitatingly accepted all devices, even a platter 1.5TB. Whether MKV, AVI, Divx, MPEG, JPEG, MP3 or VOBs which Philips has everything assumed even edited a picture of a dude with PowerPoint and 1.2GB in size. DVD Dateine ​​(VOB, TS) I have a whole disk full. There was, however, a small problem, because the PC may ichmit mouse scroll through the DVD menu when I select the TS, but here the TS file is detected as a video file, and thus has a menu does not function. It has no way the primary language, whether it is English, German or Spanish, and set the subtitles. "The Jungle Book" was shown for example in French. Well, anyway, I was excited and also a little bit surprised how many opportunities offered one of those small USB port.
Especially because of Panasonic, I also tested just me in ways very very disappointed. Here I brought only one AVI and some simple JPEG images on a FAT32 drive to run. About more information, I will not leave on the Panasonic recession.

Actually was at that time already determined which of the two BDP I keep and what I will go back to Amazon. I think I must not say that now enjoys a regular place in the Philips my living room.

The only small negative point for me is not wircklich of concern, but still worth mentioning, is getting used to the remote control. Looks like a big egg and have some keys with direct functions can tolerate more, even if the navigation menu is simple and charmless but clearly. This strange FB I have to arrange once, but I'm sure that this will not take too long.
Nevertheless me this negative point is not so important to draw an immediate star.

I'm saying to recommend this Blu-ray player all fully, even if I could not test a lot of features. Price-performance ratio is accordingly also very good.

In conclusion I must say that I wanted to watch a DVD yesterday on my DVD player (am still not convinced by upscaling), which, however, indicated to me "No READ". When I took the DVD out I realized that that was so scratched that was a play impossible. So I've inserted into the Philips BDP, but gave me no great hope. But lo and behold, the DVD was accepted without objection and the film up to the end played: absolutely great!
