![]() The LG’s disc loading speeds fall behind the BDT220 too.ĬNet’s Blu-ray guru, Matthew Moskovciak, loves the BDT220. The Panasonic has fewer stability and firmware issues while providing most of the same advantages (i.e., Wi-Fi, 1080p 3-D, light file streaming). It just happens to be the fastest optical disc player with most relevant featureset at the best price.įor starters, it easily beats our previous pick, the LG BD670 ($90). It was an extremely tight race, but the BDT220 ultimately pulled ahead. Go cheaper and you potentially lose large(ish) features like 3-D or 24p video-on-demand playback for a mere $10 to $20 in savings. Go higher and you’re paying for things you don’t need yet like dual HDMI ports. The $140 ballpark seemed to be the sweet spot for 2012’s players. ![]() Most of the major manufacturers are cranking out comparable picture quality and the price range is extremely tight. Of course, all this fidelity makes it harder to choose a standout like the BDT220. Blu-ray is currently the highest-quality way to deliver movies. It sounds trivial but it’s a crucial distinction for anyone who’s sprung for the perfect receiver or a lavish HDTV and want to go the last mile to make it all work. You can get 1080p picture from Netflix and Vudu too (bandwith permitting), but it’s not the same as having high-def perfection at your fingertips. Blu-ray discs are fundamentally designed to look/sound their best at all times.
