what kind of blu-ray player should i buy?

Q. i am looking for an internal blu-ray player rewriteable that can burn ps3 games for my own use so i dont mess up my orignial copy...if legal. also i need this to be capable of burning two layered disk? i thought i read somewhere that i need that and idk what its called when looking for it . would a used one be worth buying?

Answer
Unfortunately, you cannot reproduce PS3 games, as it is illegal. Search the web for deals for a blu-ray player because I have not heard of a blu-ray player that can burn two-layered PS3 games.

What's wrong with my blu-ray player?

Q. I have the vizio VBR210 blu-ray player with wireless Internet apps. I flipped my TV to the AV input mode to watch Netflix on said blu-ray player. When I got there, nothing was showing up. The screen was totally black. I decided I would put a movie in, and when the movie started, I would exit from the movie and would be at the home screen. The movie wouldn't play and after a while of whirring, the TV showed "no signal". I've checked the AV cords (the ones that are red, yellow, and white) so that's not it I believe. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Answer
Sounds like a resolution problem. It sounds like u have an HDTV but using standard composite cables. I would connect with HDMI and see if that helps. May be an internal setting on the player that needs changed, but of course u have to get picture to change. If its a 1080p TV you will get your moneys worth out of the player with HDMI. Otherwise you could trade down to standard DVD for older CRT TV.

Buying a Blu Ray Player?

Q. What would you lose when buy a less expensive blu ray player over an expensive blu ray player?

Answer
Not much. But many of the higher end models still can't produce an image any better than a cheaper one. It's the features such as heavy chassis, internet connections, memory cards, internal processing, surround decoding, mutli-component functionality, & universal remotes. I would personally recommend the Sony BDP-S350 b/c it has a better cost to benefit ratio.

What form of blu ray player should i get?

blu ray player internal image

Fernando

I just bought a 55" HDTV 1080p 120HZ LED tv and now want blu ray. I have it next to my desktop tower. If I get an internal blu ray drive player in my desktop tower and my monitor comes with a HDMI port which i can connect to the tv will the quality of picture be different? Or would a regular blu ray player be better?

Answer
You can go either way (assuming your computer is capable of handling blu-ray ... check the requirements ... the graphic card must be fast enough, for example). However if you go with the built in computer drive note you can't expect to "connect (the monitor) to the TV". Why? The TV and the monitor are display devices. The blu-ray player is a source device. You can only connect a display to a source.

A stand alone player will offer other capability beside just playing Blu-ray disks (e.g. Picassa, Netflix or other services, USB playback of Jpeg and video, decoding of HD audio from the Blu-ray disk. On the other hand, a computer drive allows you to (potentially ... you have to buy capable software as well as the drive) rip Blu-ray disks to the computer for conversion or use as in media centre mode. Which fits your needs better depends on your needs.

I think you will find by the time you pay for the drive and software (and maybe to get a faster graphics card or upgrade the computer RAM) a stand alone player may look pretty good. Note that even basic players handle Blu-ray essentially identically to premium players (the extra $$ primarily buys better build quality, extra features and better DVD performance).

What is the difference between a blu-ray player that has 1080p output vs. 1080p upconversion?

excelonx

I thought that all blu-ray players output in 1080p. Is this not the case?

Answer
You can tell the player to output in 480, 720 or 1080 resolution.

Sony players will output 1080i out the component cable jacks, but not 1080p. For copy protection reasons you only get 1080p from the HDMI jack with Sony BluRay players.

Also - BluRay players will up-convert standard DVD's to what ever resolution you say - but this only works using a HDMI cable. If you use analog cables - you only get 480 resolution. (This is not bad as most televisions also up-convert from 480 to their internal resolution).

can i move my wifi blu ray from room to room to watch netflix?

bully

I want to be able to move my wifi blu ray player from room to room to watch netflix without having to reprogram each time. is that possible?

Answer
It depends on what model number you have and how much internal memory it has but with most quality blu ray players you should be able to do that as long as the unit is not left unplugged for an extended period of time...If you did that a lot though there may come a time where you trip the internal reset function and you would have to reprogram the player occasionally...if your player does not have enough internal memory it may not be able to remember anything once you unplug it....

What do I need to get a HD ready tv to work with Blu - Ray player?

lynseylori

I bought a friend's HD Ready Sony Projection TV (Model KP-57HW40) that comes HD Ready. I'm not very technical but I understand this isn't a HDTV per se but is HD Ready. What do I need to get in order to view things in HD and get a Blu-Ray player? Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Answer
If it's HD ready it means it needs an HD source to feed it an HD pic. It has no internal tuner so you can't use an antenna to pull in over the air HD signals.

So you'll need either a cable or satellite HD box for tv, attached to the tv with Component (red/green/blue) video cables and red/white audio cables, or if your tv has HDMI inputs, you can use HDMI to attach the cable box, but I don't think HD ready tvs have HDMI.

Then you get a Blu Ray player and attach it with component and audio cables also, you should have two component inputs on the back of the tv.
