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.

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 »

Cons rigged with continuous firmware bugs, very slow

My son's last portable DVD player had lived it's years and finally gave out after a few spills from some juice and my son had been wanting a new, portable DVD player for some time. We waited and then by his birthday, his grandparents splurged and got him one with a couple of movies and boy was he... Read full review »
