Panasonic DMP-BDT220 user reviews

Pros Nothing special

Cons Primitive features
There is no way to rewind or fast forward a youtube videos.. This feature is very primitive... Come on!!

Summary Am on my way to return this product as I just discovered that there is no way to rewind or fast forward a youtube videos.. This feature is very primitive... Come on!!
I did not realize any speed in loading & network services versus my sony player (BD590) which I had bought earlier ..
Overall, i am very disappointed with CNet than this Panasonic player for making me buy this through a very bad review...

Pros Great Blu Ray picture quality
Streams a good variety of content
Good price point

Cons Streaming quality is terrible
Feels cheaply built

Summary Netfilx streaming is terrible and video quality is poor. Suffers from consistent black flicker. I bought 2 of these and one of them completely stopped streaming any service after a week. Best Buy gladly exchanged it for me. I wish I would have returned both and gotten a different brand.

At this point I have lost complete confidence in both Cnet and Panasonic. First I bought a 50" Panasonic V10 plasma that suffered from the black level fade. I bought this on Cnet's recommendation. And now I've bought another terrible Panasonic product on Cnet's recommendation once again.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I'm done with both Cnet and Panasonic.

Pros good price/value, provides youtube, easy to connect wi-fi, and upgrades.
many video adjustments for those that love to tweak.

Cons slow clunky remote interface limits internet usability.
no querty keyboard, mediocre build quality, limited viera interface.

Summary good bd player, attractive appearance, not so good as an internet device.
I have not used this on 3-D.
As is so often the case, this product promises more than it can deliver.
If it works for a few years, I will be satisfied.
Folks, it ain't an Oppo. But it's cheap, and so far it works (6 months)

Pros Loads really fast.
Great picture quality.
Easy interface.
Great remote.
Ability to use my smartphone to control the player

Cons Does not work well anymore for playing online content such as Netflix because wireless stops working every hour or so and requires you to turn off and on unit to gain wireless access again.
