Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray Disc Player
Look what Panasonic sent me for review!

The DMP-BD10 seems like a good DVD player and a good enough Blu-ray Disc player. Panasonic sent some sample discs along with it:


The Panasonic disc is very impressive and is MPEG-4 AVC (pictured). The other two are MPEG-2 and are both from Fox (and one of them is "Fantastic Four") and aren't very impressive. Fantastic Four has a video transfer that suffers from temporal noise reduction artefacts so it's hard to evaluate the quality of the player using it. It's also one of those transfers that lacks the "wow, it's HD!" factor. Grrr.

The remote control is also chunky but does the job. Full review coming soon...
