More
PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology developed by Panasonic to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colors faithful and sharp. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel. So that it can render progressive images superbly, expresses motion smoothly, and draws crisp diagonal lines. The DMP-BD55 can decode HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD) and output 7.1ch digital audio signal. The resulting audio is studio master quality sound. This signal can be connected to an HDMI compatible receiver that does not support HD Audio Codec. Besides, the 7.1-channel analog signal converted by 192kHz D/A converter is transmitted in high quality. Less

Pros
Good picture, allows all audio signals to pass through, Profile 1.1 - promise of upgrades
Cons
Nothing really, unless Samsung decides to not upgrade this player with profile 2.0

Are you telling me that it has only been slightly over a year since I have purchased my first blu-ray player? Worse yet, I have upgraded this piece of home theater equipment already. Am I really this crazy with money? What a waste! Gee, I can't deny that money has been wasted on a newer model from...

Cons

Recommended it?
Yes
I have to confess that I jumped on the HD bandwagon a while ago and have used the Toshiba HD-A3 for a while. Since HD DVD lost and Blu-Ray won, I have been looking at the newer Blu-Ray players. I had good experience with Panasonic DVD players as well as other A/V gear, so checking out the new...

Recommended it?

I purchased the Panasonic DMP-BD55 (in Canada where I live) mostly based on reviews from the internet, both consumer and professional, as well as release date and its connections. If I hadn't needed the coax digital audio output, I believe I could have purchased the BD-35 for over one hundred...
