Panasonic DMP-BDT500 review

 

Panasonic's flagship player delivers a truly captivating performance

Excellent picture ; strong sound ; smooth motion handling ; great with 3D and upscaling

The remote control’s touch pad can be a bit awkward to use

Panasonic has done it again – this player delivers a truly captivating performance

Panasonic DMP-BDT500 Blu-ray player review

 

A Blu-ray player with a touch of old-school panache. If only it came with a retro remote...

Panasonic DMP-BDT500 review

 

The BDT500 is Blu-ray luxury but is it worth spending the best part of £300 on? We watched film after film after film to find out

Fantastic picture in both 2D and 3D ; Commanding sound

It’s far from sleek ; Unwieldy, frustrating remote control

Brilliant in almost every way, the DMP-BDT500 is one of the finest Blu-ray players ever
