Panasonic's DMP-BD55 is one of the best Blu-ray players you can get. Find out why...
Its superb image quality, excellent design, and wide feature set make the DMP-BD55K a tempting Blu-ray choice.
The Panasonic DMP-BD55K costs a bundle, but it delivers top-grade image quality for the price.
With the end of the format war fading in the rear-view mirror, manufacturers of Blu-ray players have one last obstacle to overcome to help bring Blu-ray into the mainstream—make a dedicated player that provides the user experience of the Sony PlayStation 3. (Okay, they must also bring the price down to DVD levels in order to really reach the mainstream.) In addition to delivering a first-rate audio/video experience, players must also offer a user experience on par with DVD.
