For the optimal high definition Blu-ray video experience at home, the Elite BDP51FD features True24fps capability. Because all your favorite movies are filmed at 24 frames-per-second (fps) while most home video systems are equipped to display video at 30fps, most standard systems have to subject film-based video content to alterations that make the 24fps content display ay 30fps. While this solves the problem, it also causes others — this alteration often results in the appearance of artifacts, or distortion of the video image. Tru24fsp capability, on the other hand, offers processing that seamlessly transfers the 24fps content on your favorite Blu-ray movie to your 24fps-compatible HDTV. Video as the director intended.

The Emperor's New clothes?

bycmdr Apr 23, 2009
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very good picture, sound and build quality. Reasonable price.
Cons Very glitchy and will frustrate average users.
Recommended it? Yes

I’ve often mused on the reasons why the DVD format became such a worldwide success. Was it simply a matter of the discs’ video quality being so much better than preceding VHS tapes? We’ll it couldn’t be just that otherwise “Laser Disc” would have assumed the crown years before. No, when you get... Read full review »

Pros great image and sound when it works
Cons rigged with continuous firmware bugs, very slow
Recommended it? No

I bought this unit thinking that I will get the best on the market for this price ... but I was totally wrong. I passed through two units because I just wanted to give a chance to this model. I just want to mention that I performed the test who revealed the glitches at  dealer's site and they come... Read full review »

Pros Great quality video, and audio. Price is certainly right.
Cons Remote could be better. No wi-fi. A bit slow at loading discs.
Recommended it? Yes

Plays Blu-rays great, as expected. Not much else to say about that. It's comparable with other Blu-ray players. Loading the disc takes time, but this is also a problem with other players.

The remote control is less than user-friendly. Some simpler, straightforward commands would... Read full review »

Pros price/value combination seems to be right.  buying through Costco gives piece of mind
Cons setup is not very easy.  concerned about why HDMI forced sound to disappear...
Recommended it? Yes

I got BD-655 model from Costco which should be identical except that there is HDMI cable included.  Connecting using HDMI resulted in the loss of sound altogether in my SOny XBR8 (cured by un-plugging the TV and then using regular video cable to connect).  As result - can not really...
