I have a Blu-Ray player with whom I wanted simply want to look films. This one is perfect, bringing even more with the addition that you can connect it to the Internet and thus has access to eg Youtube and Amazon Instant Video. Thus, one can thus see his movies / series directly from the disc or just the desired material stream directly to the corresponding online membership over the player to the TV.
3D so far I could not test. Volume increases in some discs a bit too, so a star deduction. Wen has, however, does not interfere with this a good basic machine for everyday use.
