Draken Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Hey guys, Is the cheaper dmp-BD45 gonna be much different at all from the dmp-bd60 or 65? My main concerns are bitstreaming audio and DVD upscaling PQ. I do play quite a few CD's so would the 45 do a decent job am curerntly using my Denon DVD-1930 for CD and DVD playback thanks Mike

From what I've read, the 85 is a large step up in AV quality. However, for dvd, I still use my 1930 as I prefer the PQ in preference to my 85.

johnnyrs Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 (from the 91930) I have hdmi to the plasma, upscaled to 720p, and component to the projector which gives an acceptable picture. I managed to get HDMI to the projector and the upscaled picture was very good.
Guest Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Time to upgrade the TV Draken. I've also got a Denon DVD player, model 3910, and it looks great thru HDMI to my ancient Pioneer plasma. Not noticeably better than the BD80 though. Back to the BD45; It's a funny player, 2010 model but only Profile 1.1 as Panasonic left out the Ethernet port. Not much difference in performance compared with the BD60/65 but several steps behind the BD80/85. If you want one player for movies and CD and don't want to totally blow the budget, then save for a BD85.
