Panasonic is keeping the market and competitors at high degree as usual, with new high-class gadgets.
May be some people met idea about portable blu-ray player with skepticism, but Panasonic is strong enough to prove one more time deserved reputation of Master.

Fresh presented Panasonic DMP-B15 gadget allowing watching blu-ray in portable way. 8.9 inch LCD WSVGA screen with resolution 1024x600 pixel, provided it with HDMI output to allow us watch our HD collection on big screen, using it as intermediary device. As other Panasonic gadgets, DMP-B15 comes with VIERA CAST, full BD-live functionality making possible online content access (Amazon video, You Tube, so on).
Special slot for SD card allowing playback such media as digital photos and video recorded with camcorder.

DMP-B15 comes with all technologies available in stand-alone Panasonic devices, DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80, and VHS-Blu-ray dual player DMP-BD70. Image quality remained the same – famous Panasonic highest standard video, due to genial PHL Reference Chroma Processor and developed innovations together with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory. Each specified by Panasonic pixel is not something formal and virtual, it is something, which is turning in to real outstanding colours, brightness and sharpness, reading accurately all data from blu-ray disc and transforming it for us.

It is great gadget from all points of view, quality, portability, and reputation. Thanks to the fact that battery for this gadget delivers us 3 hours of video, we can enjoy the best Blu-ray discs, during travelling. Leader is leader and Panasonic proves it each time, making our life plesant.

Recently announced HT-BD2S is available now, and for people who are still wondering which is better and occupied with general problem which Blu-ray will be right for them we studied new comer attentively.

We can affirm that Samsung HT-BD2S is a new modification of HT-BD2T model, but here we can see very few things, which is making second edition different. Here they used two small sized satellite speakers. But truly saying, that reduced size of speakers in not playing here a great role of big improvement, because even if they will sound better comparing with BD2S tallboys, it will still be influenced by the same shortfalls as old model do. To be more exact they are: due to old profile 1.0, it will be still slow loading Blu-ray player, without option “picture-in-picture”, without online features. Outputs for new Samsung gadgets include HDMI, S-video, composite video, channel for audio 7.1. Quantity of inputs is limited and do not provide the holder with big space for expansion and experiments.

The gadget look quite attractive option for people who is looking for “everything included” home Blu-ray theatre, and who is not sad about possible “extra whistling sound effects” from some new blu-ray discs.

For \$1,000, as for me this gadget definitely should be art object of quality in sound and other features. Based on that example we can assume that the best work is done when Blu-ray player is used as alone standing device, rather then integrated in combination with another components all-together.

Thus, if still idea about getting Blu-ray gadget visiting you, think twice. Play station 3 (\$400) Blu-ray making its job perfect.

Moreover, passing \$1,000 barrier you can buy something more flexible as concerns available sockets and with better sound quality.
