Recommend me a bluray player

PhilT1808 · 05-06-2012, 17:48

Looking for a 3d player to replace my Samsung model.

Must be a able to play lovefilm/netflix/iplayer etc...

I'm going to use this with a Samsung 3d tv and Sony amp.

The Samsung bluray player I have at the moment freezes with lovefilm and there are other issues using Iplayer. Doesn't look like Samsung are too bothered about providing a fix hence the new buy...

Thanks.

Not really after a games console. From what I've heard PQ isn't as good through the PS3 as through a dedicated bluray player. Plus, looking to spend around 100 notes.

You heard wrong about that.

Maybe but still £50 more than I would like to pay. Anyone using a player that has a good internet interface?

Sony blu ray players are the only ones that offer all those services you want

Sony make the best players anyway. I have three blu-rays, one of which I now use as a CD player since it is four years old.

The others, I can connect to my broadband and watch extra channels, especially music channels. Great picture and sound via broadband.

Really pleased with my purchase. Netflix is excellent and I've got a month's trial for free. Very good PQ with HD films. Lovefilm is good but not in HD yet for Sony products. Apparently they're working on this so should improve. Overall - very pleased!
