Here is a list of the top 5 Blu Ray players and some interesting points and facts about them. If you are currently looking to make the jump from DVD to Blu Ray or you are just after upgrading your current Blu Ray player then you may find this information useful. This list has been compiled from information gathered from some of the leading retailers and is based on customer ratings and reviews. Let’s take a look at are list.

5) Panasonic DMP-BDT110EB 3D Blu-Ray Player.

This is a very neat and tidy looking player; it is noisy for around 30 seconds on start up then it quietens down and you can hardly hear it whilst it is playing a movie, also all of the display lights dim when you press play which is an added bonus. This player has excellent picture and sound quality in 3D and 2D and the ability to skype through your broadband. This machine is currently retailing for around 100 pounds which is really good for a Blu Ray player with so many features. One bad point I will mention is that the USB can only use fat32 which is around 4gb so you won’t be able to load big files such as HD or 3D home movies, apart from that thought this is a really good buy.

4) Sony BDPS370 Blu-ray Player

Sony has created a pretty nifty piece of kit here. This Blu Ray player has stunning picture and sound quality and the technology to watch BBC iplayer and youtube through your home broadband system; you can also connect with love film if you are a subscriber to stream films straight to your player. This machine has a slim sleek look to it and a very high speed disc loading time. This player currently retails around 130 pounds.

3) Panasonic DMP-BD75EB-K

This player loads discs a great deal quicker than previous models; it also provides a stunning HD image and excellent sound quality. This Blu Ray player runs almost silently when playing a film and up scales DVDs perfectly. For the great price of 75 pounds you can’t really go wrong.

2) Sony S380 Blu-ray Player

Another great product from Sony, this Blu Ray player comes WiFi ready allowing you to use services such as BBC iplayer, demand 5 and youtube. It has a stylish design and comes in a glossy black.  This machine provides cutting edge picture and sound quality and up scales DVD exceptionally well. You can now get yourself one of these for around 95 pounds.

1) LG BD550 Blu-Ray Player

The LG has been rated the best Blu Ray player not so much because of its excess of advanced features, but more so for its bargain price of 70 pounds. This is the perfect player if you just want to sit back and watch DVD and Blu Rays with amazing picture and sound quality. This machine is really simple to operate and set up, so it’s great for Blu Ray first timers. But in all honest if you are looking for something abit more advanced with built in WiFi, device sharing etc then this probably isn’t for you.
