Today's Drive toward the Best in the Electronic Era: Best Blu-Ray Players Option
In its earlier inception, Blu-ray players were swamped by the power of high definition DVD due to production snags and spare parts shortages. Fortunately, there is optimism that within the year, sales in this second-generation optical disc format would eventually surpass that of HD-DVD. Currently there are already a number of Blu-ray players to choose from which the consumer can choose what the best is.
Comparing Players Available in Today's Market:
The Samsung BD-P1200 affords excellent image with a stylish design and features that attract consumers. It is reputed to be the most dedicated among the players. Unfortunately, the price tag of Blu-ray players like these is not that appealing to the public.
The Panasonic DMP-BD10, one of the first-generation Blu-ray players, though supremely competent has the same dilemma as its Samsung counterpart; the price tag is simply too high.
The Pioneer BDP-HD1 is deemed excellent with regards to image quality and networking capabilities. The price of these kinds of Blu-ray players, the lack of a CD playback, and an inferior DVD up-conversion will turn away even the most avid electronic buff.
The Sony Play Station 3 is widely recommended with its large hard drive and ability to play PS2 games. It is actually the best alternative to cheap models.
The Philips BDP9000 has a great design and excellent quality of images. Sadly, the inferior audio capability of Blu-ray players like this one, and being less affordable with its Sony counterpart discourage most consumers.
In a nutshell, the Sony Play Station 3 is the best option in terms of its price tag, excellent Blu-ray playback, high density gaming, and multimedia features as compared to the other electronic giants. Add to this that this is the only one among the Blu-ray players that has a bleeding-edge HDMI 1.3 compatibility that is certain to remain an attraction for years to come.
It is highly anticipated that other upcoming titles of Blu-ray will surpass the sales of HD-DVD, the reputed underdog in the world of optical electronics. Patience for the consumer will spell the difference between what is quality-second-to-none and affordability at the expense of quality in terms of definition and image quality.
In the final analysis, it is the consumer who will decide to which Blu-ray players to buy. Certainly, these do not come cheap. For those who seek the highest quality images in what they are watching, they will not flinch at the price tags. For those whose finances are quite inadequate at the moment, they might just as well wait because Blu-ray is still in the process of evolving the best that it has to offer.
