Great Blu Ray Player
Very pleased with the performance of the Panasonic blu ray player. Not only great to watching blu ray movies on it but also upconverts standard dvd's to look great as well.

Pretty good for the price
Got this Blu-Ray player when I ordered my new plasma. Only used it a few times. Great picture and sound quality. A little slow in starting up and loading. Remote is fine: not ideally laid out but easy enough to figure out. Seems to be a good value for the money.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player
after ten years of putting up with an old DVD player, we finally gave in to the flaws of old technology and bought this blu-ray especially ackowledging how incompatible old technology was with our Samsung LCDHDTV....it has made our film viewing significantly better...and the bad news is it took too long to convert...the good news is not only the sound and picture quality improvement, but affordability, thanks to AMAZON.COM....first I did the research on blu-ray players....there are many, so I went with buyer comments and evaluations...the one with the best rating was this Panasonic...I even went to BEST BUY to see for myself...sure enough, the young man who waited on me not only confirmed I had selected the right blu-ray but he said it was the one he had purchased for himself....if it had not been for the difference in price between Amazon and Best Buy, I would have purchased it there--notwithstanding NO TAXES NO SHIPPING CHARGES....and while there may be more expensive blu-ray's that have more bells and whistles, if you are looking for excellent film viewing, I do recommend this product without reservtion..DK

First Blu-ray
Product is what it claims to be. Picture quality is great. As far as reliability, have only had for a month, so can't grade higher. Was hoping for Pandora accessibility, but was misinformed from third party.

Great player for the price
For the price, I think this is an excellent blu-ray player. It also does very good with DVD up-conversion and makes DVDs look fantastic. The player has worked reliably for me so far and hasn't had any problems with any of the movies I've thrown at it. As with all blu-ray players, it's slow getting ready to play a movie when you first put it in. It's usually takes 30 seconds until you get to the menu screen, but that's the blu-ray standard for you. The player has all the features I need, so I'm quite happy with it overall. On the downside, the case is pretty cheap and flimsy looking. It probably wouldn't hold up well if it was going to be moved around a lot. Mine just sits in the equipment rack behind doors, so it's out of sight and not an issue for me but that might be for you. Despite this, I think it's hard to beat this player considering the low price.

Died after having it about 2 years
mine just died tonight after so many issues with it recently for the past month, volume had to be on 70 to hear it with blue ray movies but regular movies were fine.so tonight went to put the movie in crank 2 blue ray and the little window was so tiny i could hardly see it,and then it would not play and then i played the movie and then screen was so tiny,i mean very tiny,so i tried to eject it and there was issues with it,i tried everything. I even hooked it up compnent cable and that did not work,so needless to say,its time for the grave for this sony blue ray player. it did last 2 years but still,i took care of very well .I paid 400.00 plus tax for mine almost 2 years agop,so i used it alot,but come on..ridicouls.so never again with sony,never ..anyhow i would not buy this product,it does not have new updates and no netflix etc.well sadly enough to admit time to go back to my regular dvd player,good thing i did not sell old one LOL..

Stops being able to play Blu-ray discs
I've had my BDP-S350 for about a year now, and in that time I've used it infrequently at best. It now, inexplicably, refuses to recognize any Blu-ray disc I put in. Standard DVDs play fine, but BDs do not, and it's a problem I found is documented on AV forums and the reviews on Sony's own site. Most guesses are that the blue lasers are unreliable, as it seems to be a problem consistent across multiple firmware updates. Additionally, I didn't change my firmware between when I last played a BD disc and now.

For a player as expensive as this one, it seems to have an incredibly short lifespan. If you waste your money on this, expect to be buying a new player soon after.

Good Player For the Money.
This player is great value for the money. I have owned mine for a little over a year now and it has worked flawlessly as far as playing regular blu-ray and Dvd movies is concerned. My only gripe is that despite repeated firmware updates the player still cannot seem to decode the so-called BD-Live contents even when the disc menu clearly shows it is available. I hooked mine permanently to my DSL Modem and it downloads and installs updates automatically whenever it is available. It even recently downloaded updates for my Sony Bravia LCD TV. When I purchased it from Best Buy I was told that it would be BD-Live capable with future firmware updates and the manufacturer's description clearly promised this too but alas it seem like a bogus claim. Another thing is that it sometimes 'forgets' where it stopped playback and starts from the beginnning unlike my regular Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player which always starts from where it stopped the last time. Minor gripe

So if you're buying this for playback of regular movies then go ahead but if you plan on viewing BD Live contents over the web try another model.

Sony BDP-S350 vs. Panasonic DMP-BD30K
Sony BDP-S350 vs. Panasonic DMP-BD30K: I HAVE HAD EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PLAYER SINCE LATE 2008. GREAT UPGRADE CONVERSION AND DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO LOAD.

Stopped playing Bluray discs after firmware update
The unit worked fine for 13 months (12 month warranty of course). I decided to upgrade to firmware v20 to maybe get some additional features/functionality. Now when I put in a Blueray disc, the player says "unknown". I spent 2 hrs on the phone with Sony to no avail. Now I have an overpriced DVD only player!
Sony just lost a loyal customer.

Not bad
I have a 52" W model in the living room and bought a 40V5100 model for the bedroom. The W model is definitely worth the extra money when you look to get a it all.

The pros:
The 40V5100 overall just fine for my bedroom.
Picture quality is fine.
Tuner works great and picks up everything.
Menu is easy to navigate.
Enough inputs.

The cons:
The sound is has a lot of static noise at lower volumes, it's very annoying.
The stations don't change as fast as on the W model.
You can not edit the names of the stations.
Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a higher end TV.

Great for family room
This TV made for an awesome Christmas present, especially since I got an amazing Black Friday price on it. This is our first flat screen, and we have been very impressed with the picture quality, ease of use, and look of it hung up on our family room wall. We were a little surprised to find how much more we have to turn it up in order to hear well, but it's not any kind of dealbreaker. Overall, super pleased. Highly recommended.

Disappointed--must be a defective TV
I purchased this TV on a Sunday, was very impressed with the good price and the excellent reviews it had received, for the most part. The TV arrived by a box truck shipper on Wed at 7:30 AM, having been shipped from around 60 miles away. I had to run after the driver for his invoice, and he could only deliver it to the door without an "additional charge", but I was very happy with the speed of the delivery, carried it up the stairs, and happily set it up, expecting an upgrade from the 32" 720P Bravia I have watched for a couple of years, which is excellent and I have no gripes about, and was a big factor in "going SONY" with this one.
Unfortunately, the picture quality is poor, and I am going to send it back to SONY at their expense and they will replace it under the manufacturer's warranty within 5- 7 days of faxing them the receipt, which I did today. The problems with the TV are blurriness of numbers and images...the Olympics for example, were of a much better quality on the 2 yr old 32" ,720P Bravia than on this one. It is not extreme defect, but it is not "excellent HD" and the quality in important ways is similar to an old style television. I replaced the cable box, tried a new HDMI cord, and ran a newer DVD through it that should have had an excellent picture. Nothing was better. The words "stunning, and "amazing" that I've read in the reviews here certainly don't apply. There is also too much black in the picture, the black colors predominate. Hopefully this is a defective product and these will not be problems with the new one they send...if so, then I can't understand the other reviews here and I probably have forgone the "return" option (which would cost about 25% of the cost considering the restocking fee and shipping).
I must say the customer/tech support with SONY has been excellent so far, and I hope after the replacement arrives, I can write another review saying "the picture is stunning". If anyone has comments or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Red flashing and some sound issues
This TV has pretty decent sound and picture, but is plagued by a few issues which could likely be resolved with a simple firmware update (if sony ever provides it)

I am talking about the "red flash" issue. This is actually an issue involving automatic jumping up and down of color temperature during normal operation of the set, but has garnered the name "red flashing" since it can become very noticeable during scenes with lots of red in the background as you can plainly see the colors getting brighter and dimmer at random times during the scene. Scenes with deep blue backgrounds (The Daily Show) can exhibit some pretty severe blue flashing at times too.

The sound pops and crackles a bit when you change channels on this TV, and there is a little barely audible fuzz and static on the built-in speakers. The sound on certain HDMI connected devices may not work if you turn them on before turning the TV on. I think these issues also boil down to the firmware.

The inputs on this TV are awesome, and the experience is otherwise great, and the price is very affordable.

If the above mentioned issues can be addressed by firmware (if only the red flash, since I find it most annoying) I will gladly upgrade my rating to 5 stars.

Sony KDL-40V5100
Received in excellent condition, mounted to wall with easy (and only needed one person). Has been an excellent choice in picture, sound and ease of use. Would recommend a PS3 to go with it for ease of accessing internet, and streaming video from Netflix. Haven't played any games on it yet, but sure with the picture quality already seen it will be a great time.
