Re: BluRay player - does brand matter?

I think you need to compare features. Try reading some reviews. Cnet is good for that. Some of the cheaper players are slower to load and also some of the cheaper ones are not profle 2.0. Some for those can be upgraded to profile 2.0 with a firmware upgrade some can't. That's if profile 2.0 is important to you. It's not to me, but that's me.

No 2.0 is not important to me. But what I am most concerned about is picture quality. Both for BluRay DVD's and for SD DVD upconverting. I am wondering if brands other than Sony have the same quality image in both Bluray and upconvert output.

Other things like features concern me less. Those kinds of differences you always find in all electronics. But I would hate to get a Samsung BR player and find out that the Sony has a better image processor or something like that Or that it's upconverting chip is superior because most of my current DVDs are SD.

I have a Sony that wasn't cheap and loads hella slow. but for fast firmware fixes, you can't beat sony.

I wasn't advocating any particular brand. I wasn't merely putting up a link for reviews. It up to each person to decide which is best for them. It depends on which features you feel are the most important. If you go into the store and they ave some on display they should have any issues with you testing them out. If they do I would not shop there.
