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.

Great results so far

Pros Multi-format, ethernet connection for software updates
Cons Some movies take a while to load
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this player in June and have had great luck with it. I've given it a lot of use since I was out of work for 3 months after knee surgery. Not only do the Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies look great, but so do all my regular DVDs. It upconverts all standard DVDs. The only downside is that my... Read full review »

Pros Compatible with playback of Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and DVD. Improved detail, clarity, color &...
Cons Speaker test needs a fix, as does 100Hz crossover for analog multi-channel audio output.
Recommended it? Yes

One day in and I can't find a much of a downside to this player.

Hooked up via component (sorry no HDMI on either my TV or AV Receiver) to a 1080i 65" Mitsubishi WS-65907 (viewed from 12 feet) via an Onkyo TX-DS989.

No problems with playing back any media so far.

The Emperor's New clothes?

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 »
