I am thinking of buying a blu-ray dvd player to go with my LCD tv 42, HD Ready but i just want to know that will my lost and 24 dvds work in a blu-ray dvd player?
Also does anyone know if they have any philips blu-ray dvd player as my LCD Is a philips or will any blu-ray player work on any LCD?
Any help would be great thank you.

Multiregion Bluray players are out there but they are pricey and not that easy to find at the moment.
Any UK player will not play R1 dvd's or any Region A Bluray discs - but 75% of US Bluray discs are region free but you should check before buying.
Unless the Bluray player you are looking at is under £200 you should buy the PS3 at the moment as its far better than any
standalone players
As long as your tv has an HDMI input you can connect any Bluray player for HD.
At the moment mostly quality makes do Bluray players - Sony,Panasonic,Pioneer.
Luckily for Joe Public Philips dont seem to be doing them yet - and if the reliability of their dvd recorders is anything to go buy Philips gear is best avoided anyway
I'd debate that. Recently ditched a PS3 (mostly awful games so there were no benefits as a games machine) and got a Panasonic DMP BD50. Slightly more pricey but an amazing picture and swift-start up.
I'd be surprised if any standalone was quicker at loading and unloading than a PS3.
Certainly the Sony player I tried was slow beyond belief.
Of course any current standalone is not only Profile 1.1 rather than Profile 2.0 (unimportant really but still relevent to some) and wont offer the web browser or hard drive of the PS3 on which my entire cd collection is stored.
I tried a standalone and then asked myself why should I pay a higher cost for a device that plays discs only when I could get a PS3 that did so much more.
Although a multiregion standalone will find its way into my system at some point I dont think I could do without the PS3 now - and I'm no gamer either
Joe need to also consider if he has additional HDMI inputs to connect Bluray if he already has Sky HD connected
Yeah i have sky HD, It connects through HDMI 2 And i have HDMI 1 Still.
The BD P1500 however is profile 1.1 out of the box, updateable to profile 2 later, it's fanless unlike the PS3 which some say can be noisey (others don't agree). All in all it's getting good reviews & can be had for £185.
The 1400 has an amazing track record according to the trade it has the fewest returns of any similar product & has outsold the competition many times. So if the 1500 follows in it's footsteps it should be a winner:)
I have to pay 17.99 weekly
What HD player isn't these days and I hope you mean a month because if that price is weekly you are being totally exploited.
Assuming the player you are renting costs £200 or less. You after 11weeks you would have spent more money than the player costs to buy.
Instead of renting, just put £18 aside for 11 weeks and buy one.
Oh i am looking for work
