Panasonic Smart Network 4K Upscaling 3D Blu-Ray Disc & Streaming Player DMP-BDT460 (Silver) , WiFi, Twin HDMI, Miracast

Pros: Price -- maybe not the absolute cheapest out there, but certainly worth the minimal extra for the included features and quality; picture quality on blu-ray discs and HD streaming (especially Vudu HDX) is outstanding; setup was incredibly easy -- plugged everything in, ran through the setup routine on the player and everything just worked; the player's UI is very nice; the unit itself is nice and small, especially in terms of depth -- about half the size of my old DVD player. Cons: Remote is okay, but it seems a waste to include even minimal TV controls that only work with Panasonic TVs; UI on Viera Cast is not as pretty as the player's home screen UI, and can be a little sluggish (though once you get to streaming something it works just fine); Not a concern for me as my router is close enough for a wired ethernet connection, but Wifi on this unit requires an expensive add-on piece (you'd be better off opting for one of the step-up models with built-in Wifi if you need it). Overall I'm quite satisfied. I've had none of the Netflix login problems I've read about in other reviews. Getting to the point of entering login info was admittedly a bit confusing for a minute, but a careful reading of the on-screen directions helped me to figure it out. I don't have a 3D TV so I can't comment on the 3D features. DVD upconversion seems to work fine. I'm not sure it looks any better than my old non-upconverting DVD player, where my TV did the work of any necessary conversion. As stated above, the picture quality on blu-ray discs is phenomenal. A noticeable difference over cable and over-the-air broadcast HD in my area. Images from the Vudu service at the HDX 1080p quality were just about as good (and as of this writing they offer a $5.99 credit for new accounts). HD streaming on Netflix was very good, probably on par with or better than cable. It seems just a bit better than it is on my Roku XD, which itself is quite good. If you're looking for a blu-ray player in the $100 neighborhood, this one gets my vote.

Netflix works great (with latest firmware) Amazon Video on Demand works great (Enter key pauses, not the pause button) Pandora works great Blu Ray discs look amazing DVDs upconvert well Device will output to HDMI, optical audio, analog audio, and composite video at the same time (except if you do 24p blu ray, separate mode)! This was huge for me to be able to support an HD projector and older analog LCDs from the same box. PS3 will not, many devices will not. Iphone remote app not released yet, but anxiously awaiting it. I did not buy this for 3D and have no immediate plans to go there. Marketing is heavy for that feature, but this is just a great player/streamer/set top box. I struggled over WD Live, Roku, Google TV, HTPCs, PS3, etc... for a long time. Finally this was released and it does almost everything. For only a few bucks more than a media streamer, you get a blu-ray/dvd player built right in. Menus are intuitive ...within 10 minutes I had already set up my pandora, netflix, amazon VoD and was streaming. Perfect? No. Menus are acceptable, but not snappy to load. Sometimes netflix appears to drop frames w/ 5mbps fibre connection (screen will blank occasionally on some movies, not all, maybe a half dozen times through a movie if it seems to have the issue). Amazon streams have been flawless. Annoying that the iPhone app isn't out yet, after all it was a selling point for me. I have not yet tried local drives for audio/video ...or LAN files for that matter. I didn't really buy this device for that, but now I'm hoping I can get my media through here too. This only supports a wired network connection out of the box, which was fine for my application. FYI, If you want wifi built in get the BDT210. That step up also gets you some tube audio effects and a touchless disc tray opening feature. If you don't care about the 3D or iPhone control (or some other AV upgrades) the BD75 is also quite capable and supports most of the same features.

For a short time, this player was awesome, but after 2 months, it started to have video drop-outs, which continued until it happened every few seconds. Normally, I would say, "No problem, stuff happens, it's in warranty, all is good." However, the policy at Panasonic doesn't allow for repair, but instead they send you a refurbished player in what they call an "exchange." The bottom line is that I paid for a new product that lasted a few months, but the replacement is a refurbished product, which sells for about $40 less. I am not happy with Panasonic's "warranty" program. Aside from the fact that this player crashed and burned, the good news is that if you happen to get one that works, it is a great player. I particularly like the load time. When I sent back the player for repair, I used an older Sony while waiting for the exchange. In comparison, the load time is so long, I found myself looking to see if the player was on. Also, there is a noticeable improvement in picture quality. Hope you have better luck with the quality issue, but can't really say you shouldn't buy one. UPDATE: 7-12 - I have returned this product 3 times. Finally, the third "refurbished" product seems to work OK, but have only been using it for a few weeks. While it has been frustrating, Panasonic has been reasonable to deal with by paying for the shipping both ways, following the first return. Still, had I to do it over again, I would have chosen a different player.

Haven't used it a lot yet, but works like a charm. Appears to have a great deal of potential which we still have to try out. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Took a chance on a refurbished unit and very glad I did. Home Wi-Fi network login and firmware update worked fine. Only one output, HDMI, but was able to take sound from TV stereo outputs. Unit is more compact then expected, which made it easier to place than expected. Playback of movie DVDs and audio CDs and works fine, TV picture better than old player's.

Really impress with the interface. I put my movies in folders so I needed to see more then 10 letters of a title. The BD player is fine but it strangely hard to setup the aspect ratio so that it doesn't always scale full screen. USB works fine. One problem are the DIVX avi. It reads everything H264 and mp4, including .avi coded with H264. But divx is a problem. The unit is long, more then large. Really love it. You also have an option to fine tune the picture, but it's a question of taste. By default is pretty fine. The 3D works well to date. My TV is 2K, so I don't know for 4K.

Compre una pantalla Panasonic, pero en muchas tiendas departamentales no trabajan esta marca, curioso venden la pantalla, pero no el Blu-ray, aquí lo encontré a un super precio.

PERFECT
