Blue Ray High Definition Delivered by Panasonic

Several months ago my old fashioned CRT television began to develop a pink "stain" in the upper left corner of the screen. This tale-tell sign informed me that some day soon my television would need repaired or replaced. Several factors led me to replace it rather than repairing it.Because it could no longer receive the regular over-the-air broadcast signal and the rapid decline in HDTV prices, I opted for a new television.

I purchased a 37" Panasonic Viera LCD HDTV and the picture was incredible to say the least. My family and I watched a few shows and some DVD movies, but the I soon felt that it was time for yet another upgrade.

While regular DVDs appeared better on the new television, I was simply not doing the viewing audience justice by keeping behind the times. I began to research several models of Blue Ray players and must say that it is no easy task to segregate a winning choice from the tight competition.

Every review I read discussed the fact that the Sony PlayStation 3 was actually the best Blue Ray player on the market. A video game console was not however what I wanted, so I kept digging.

Eventually I came across several good reviews of the Panasonic DMP BD80. I visited several stores to view the quality of the player and was convinced it was an acceptable choice. I purchased the DMP BD80 and plugged it in as soon as I arrived home.

The first Blue-Ray movie I played in the BD80 was the new Star Trek and the experience was nothing short of incredible. The colors, the sound, the smooth motion and no noticable pixalation at all was just what I had been looking for. The sleek design of the Panasonic DMP BD80 looks stylish among my other electronic components.

Sound quality is outstanding, even though my outdated stereo receiver can only accept the low-end 2 channel audio. My next updgrade will be a 7.1 surroudn sound system and I am certain that with the already great quality sound I get from 2-channel output, I have no doubt that the DMP-BD80 uncompressed 7.1 audio will entertain our ears as much as the picture dose our eyes.
