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
Great picture, great connections, easy to use(what DVD player isn't
Cons
Remote but all remotes seem awkward to me.
Recommended it?
Yes
Great Player- When I first played a blu-ray disc it was so clear I was amazed. The unit functions smoothly. There is a slight delay when opening the door to put in the disc and when you power on. I find this on many new items. But the few seconds is nothing- Hey slow down the world is not all fast...

I bought this unit 2 months ago and have had problems with it. Although easy to use, the first unit I had had difficulty with dark still images; little white horizontal lines appeared.

Yes

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...
