We got our hands on the Panasonic Blu-ray player DMP-BD55 today. This newly released model features a 3rd generation chip, as well as slimmer body design. Among the added features, Panasonic bundled in a program called BD Live, which allows the unit to be connected to a broadband network. BD Live is allows the user to download or stream additional interactive media, games, and movie features.
It is worth mentioning that the DMP-BD55 is Panasonic's first player for HD televisions. The crystal clear display is akin to looking into a mirror. In other words expect crisp movie theatre images without the annoying sticky floor and screaming kid. Furthermore, when connected to a home network, the blu-ray player will automatically check for firmware updates; while HDMI AV connection brings true HD 1040 resolution.
Finally Panasonic has addressed a need for the mobile digital photographer and videographer by adding a SD card slot. The plug and play method allows the user to directly display digital content without messing around with additional wires. Best of all the lower price and better all around performance makes this blu-ray player a solid choice.
