Panasonic DMP-BD85K

Pros: Analog loss less audio option. Picture controls. Picture and sound quality. Vera link. On line support. Ease of use. Compact remote.

Cons: Only one zoom. Confusing wifi set up,(but easy pin setting). Aspect ratio control requires a menu. Control panel.

Summary: I had 2 Samsung BDC6500's and they had more bugs in them then a flea circus! I swapped them out for the Panny and it works just great. I didn't notice much difference in load times and the Panasonic's features like dialogue enhancement and picture clarity control are of better use to me, especially on older DVD's. The built in wifi which didn't connect as well as the out board dongle, and the BD live storage offered on my Samsung, were of no use to me. Most BD live content is a bunch of advertising and promotional marketing anyway. The reason why Panasonic is behind with some of these non essential features is because they are not in any rush to release firmware and features that may not work anyway. It's called quality control. After all, who needs the headache.
