Panasonic DMP BD55 - Panasonic Blu-ray Players

The Panasonic DMP BD55 is Panasonic’s ‘step up’ model to the DMP BD35, The player’s specs are virtually identical to the cheaper DMP BD35; it uses the same high-quality picture processor - Panasonic’s PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus; a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic which upscales images and uses a system that produces breathtaking images that are sharp, clean and maintain colour perfectly. Static and moving images boast superb detail and solid edge definition. These breathtaking images are produced by the P4HD or Pixel Precision Progressive Processing function, this system optimises the processing to over 15 billion pixels a second, and thanks to the Precise Pixel Generation function, the player provides progressive processing and scaling of data at super high speeds.

Unlike the DMP BD35, the DMP BD55 also has a set of seven-channel analogue outputs (a 7.1ch digital audio signal) The resulting audio is incredible (studio master quality sound) This signal can be connected to an HDMI compatible receiver that does not support HD Audio Codec. The player’s simple on-screen menus allow you to alter all relevant settings such as speaker size, distances and levels . The Panasonic DMP BD55 can decode HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD)

The Panasonice DMP BD55 Picture quality is top-notch, with Blu-ray images looking clean and unblemished. Where the DMP BD35 set the benchmark for budget Blu-ray players, the DMP BD55 also has much to offer for its price point.

Panasonic DMP BD55 Review

I feel this is currently the best stand-alone player (especially for the price) currently on the market and a legitimate and compelling alternative to the PS3; perfect for those who are simply interested in watching High Definition movies and want to enjoy the occasional internet-based extras Blu-Ray movies are starting to offer without worrying about a new "Profile". Technology always moves along but I think, with these new players, the manufactures have finally started releasing "finalized" Blu-Ray machines you won't have to worry about being viable for years to come.
