Do I have to get the same Blu Ray player as the TV?




Skylar J


I was shopping around for a very good 3D Blu Ray Player that i can us with the 3D TV I'm about to get. However I was reading the reviews of the Samsung 3D Blu Ray Player D7500. And allot of the reveiws are saying it doesn't play Blu rays or DVD's and Samsung didn't know what was wrong with it. So I was wondering if it mattered or not if I went Sony or whichever? Reason I ask is because I noticed that what ever TV people have they have the same brand Blu Ray. So could any of you help? I was hoping to buy a Blu Ray player that could make 2D look 3D.


Answer
Any Blu Ray DVD will work.. By the way, I have seen a lot of 'bad' Sony players. I use an LG, and it makes regular DVD's look better, as well as HDTV DVD's, and CD's for music.. HDTV DVD's will play in 1080p, which looks the best.. All TV stations broadcast in 1080i or 720p if they have multi-channels.

Is the New Samsung Blu Ray Player 3D compatible to a Mitsubishi 3D Ready TV?




CESAR G


Hello,
Is the Samsung BD-C6900 able to connect to a Mitsubishi WD-82737 3d
ready? I have read a few reviews from previous buyers on amazon.com
regarding these two products for some reason they do not respond correctly. Please advise if this is
compatible...or even true I tried calling Samsung but they said they no issues have been reported...



Answer
Edit: I have reviewed the manual for the 82737, and it is as I thought.

>> "To display 3D images, Mitsubishi Home Theater DLP TVs require that source devices support checkerboard display formats for 3D gaming or 3D cinema content. A 3D standard format does not currently exist for Blu-ray or DVD prepackaged media. Future 3D standards may be incompatible with Mitsubishi Home Theater DLP TVs. Please visit mitsubishi-tv.com for updates and information."

Basically the TV was made before the BDA 3D standard, so unless the 3D video output is in the old DLP checkerboard format, it will not be compatible.

- - -

The issue here is that the WD-82737 TV is not actually "3D Ready".

What do I mean by this?
This TV was designed and manufactured before there was a well defined 3D standard, it was called "3D Ready" because it was capable of displaying 3D content and used the 3D video format that was commonly accepted at the time.

While the TV was designed to display 3D content, the format for the 3D video it was designed for is completely different to the video format that the Blu-Ray Disc Association has designed for new 3D compatible TVs, Blu-Ray disc players and other hardware.

So to get to the point here... this TV is not at all designed to work with the new 3D standard, so it is effectively not 3D Ready.

I have heard from unconfirmed sources that Mitsubishi might be developing an adapter of sorts that will connect between the Blu-Ray player and the TV to convert the 3D video format to one which the TV can interpret and display, but I don't know if this is really the case.

It's also possible the Blu-Ray player has an additional option to output 3D video in a format which the Mitsubishi TV can understand, but I have no idea if it does or not and that would be outside the scope of the Blu-Ray Disc association specification requirements for manufacturers (i.e. it would be entirely optional and up to the manufacturer).

LG BP620C 3D Blu-Ray Player or LG BP620 3D Blu-Ray Player Does anyone know the difference?




chooesy


Looking for a device, primarily to be used for streaming and playing media files.

I know one at least is discontinued model. That is not a concern.

Anyone have comments on these two or know the difference? Or is there one you prefer? Thanks for the help.

I ordered a WD box, not yet received. I think the reviews on these looked far better.



Answer
If you want a more reliable player than the LG, look for a Panasonic or Samsung. Keep in mind that 3D technology has not been a very popular technology with consumers. To be able to watch in 3D, you will need the following: 3D HDTV, 3D blu ray disc player, 3D blu ray movie (at this time there are only around 200 titles available and they are mainly animated movies from Disney) and 3D glasses for each person. Go online to Home Theater Magazine, which is now Sound and Vision and read the reviews on all product for your home theater. Watching in 3D also has a limited viewing angle. Hope this will help you out.

What should I look for in a Blu-Ray player?




Drew


Finally making the jump to Blu-Ray. Strictly in terms of picture quality (and not insanely expensive), what would you recommend? Brands/models etc.

Or what if anything should I look for in a Blu-Ray player that is important in terms of quality?

I'm not really interested in WiFi or 3D capability.



Answer
If you want a reliable player, then get yourself a Panasonic. They always have a player that is highly recommended by Home Theater Magazine. Go online and read the reviews on the Panasonic 3D blu ray disc player. I still use my first generation Panasonic blu ray disc player, which is over 5 years old and played over 330 blu ray disc movies without one issue. Hope this will help you out.

Recommendations for high-end Blu-ray players?




Me


Hi, looking for reviews, comparisons, recommendations for high-end blu ray players. I have a Denon 791 AV receiver with Energy Take Classic speaker system. My budget is $500 to $1000

Requirements for the player.

- First requirement: upcoversion from standard definition regular DVDs is a critical requirement since I have a number of such DVDs
- First requirement: excellent audio
- Second requirement: Netflix streaming and 3D
- Third requirement: wi-fi

Is Oppo BDP-93 the best given these requirements (I understand it does not have wi-fi, however, since that requirement is third on my list I can live without it)?

Thanks



Answer
The Oppo has wireless, it is a fantastic universal player, can't go wrong with it.

From the BDP-93 spec page:
"Wireless & Ethernet â Using the included wireless-N adapter or the built-in RJ45 Ethernet port, users will be able to interact with BD-Live content, watch instant streaming programs from provides such as Netflix, Blockbuster etc., playback contents stored on their home network, and keep the BDP-93 up-to-date with firmware releases to ensure maximum Blu-ray compatibility."

Smart LED TV with built in blu ray dvd player?




Cesilee


I'm looking for a smart led tv with a built in blu ray dvd player. I found a Magnavox tv with a built in dvd player but the dvd player isn't blu ray and the tv is only 46". I'm preferably looking for a 55" tv.


Answer
Dont.

Televisions with built in disk players are usually the lower end units, and break frequently.

As you saw - a television with a DVD player. It wont take a BluRay player, a Smart BluRay player or a 3D BluRay player. A BluRay player is $57.

Smart - For $99 you can get a small media server box like the Western Digital TV Live box. This will give you 20+ apps, the ability to play computer files from a USB flash or HDD drive. This usually has more features and better support than the apps in most televisions.

This will allow you to purchase a better, basic HDTV and save the $300 bump for the smart model.

Again - do not buy Magnavox.

The March issue of Consumer Reports has a large TV Ratings article. I suggest you go purchase a copy as it shows you what they like, what they recommend and how the prices change by size.

MY CHOICE:

The Samsung models with the Smart Hub feature has gotten great reviews. The D7000/D8000 or the E6500 models are at the top of many review lists. They cost a lot more than the Magnavox - but have outstanding image, features, and could last 5+ years.

Also - avoid Vizo. The prices are tempting but they have up/down quality. We get jumps in complaints here every few months. The parts change so frequently that Vizio admits they are un-repairable.

Hope this helps.

Connecting a seperate blu ray player to a blu ray/surround sound combo?




Havenwood


I bought a 3D blu ray player and I'm currently using a blu ray/surround sound. I'm wanting to connect the new blu ray up and still use the surround sound from the combo. Does anyone know if that is possible?


Answer
Your home theater in a box is not flexible for adding anything or for upgrading. It is mainly designed for you to watch a movie with the built in blu ray disc player with surround sound. They are a waste of money. Keep in mind, to watch in 3D you also need a 3D HDTV, 3D blu ray disc movie (at this time there are only around 140 titles available and they are mainly animated movie from disney) and you also need a 3D glasses. I would recommend you look at an Onkyo HT-S3500 to replace your home theater in a box. It is a 5.1 receiver and a set of speakers. You would connect your 3D blu ray disc player to the Onkyo and then connect the Onkyo to the tv. Demo the unit at any Fry's Electronic. It retails for around $300. If you purchase a 3D blu ray disc player, I hope you purchased a Panasonic brand. It is one of the most reliable player in the market with good reviews from Home Theater Magazine. Hope this will help you out.

Which is the best quality of Lord of the Rings home video available?




aditya


Is Bluray the highest quality I can get? I want to watch the Lord of The Rings trilogy at home, in the highest quality possible. Which is the device/format that can the ensure the highest quality experience?


Answer
At the present time if you want to obtain the maximum video picture quality you should purchase The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Editions on Blu-ray Disc.

A little supplemental information that may be worth your consideration: Blu-ray Disc provides a good starting point for those who want (and can afford) the ultimate large-screen video system. Such a system would consist of a high performance Blu-ray Disc player, e.g. the Oppo BDP-103 Universal Network 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, paired with a next-generation Full 4K monitor or better yet a Full 4K projection system such as Sonyâs VPL-VW1000ES 4K Home Theater Projector and a 120- to 150-inch projection screen. Both the Oppo BDP-103 and the Sony VPL-VW1000ES provide Full-HD-to-Full-4K upscaling allowing one to obtain the highest picture resolution currently available to consumers. And to further make the case for Blu-ray Disc is that it is much easier for a video processor to upscale native 1080p (Full HD) video content to 4K than would be the case with 480i (DVD-Video) or even 720p video content.

Quoting Sonyâs white paper on their VPL-VW1000ES projector: âThe VPL-VW1000ES projector can upscale 2K and HD signals with an adaptive super resolution algorithm that approaches the quality of a native 4K signal. Compared to native 2K display, the upscaled picture is considerably smoother.â
