Excellent

8.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Moskovciak
Review date: 10/1/08
Release date: 10/1/08

The good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs; Profile 2.0 compliant; onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, plus bit stream output; 7.1 analog-audio outputs.

The bad: PlayStation 3 offers much more functionality and faster navigation for the same price.

The bottom line: The Panasonic DMP-BD55 is the best standalone Blu-ray we've tested and it's a good choice for those with older receivers, but most people will get the same performance out of the cheaper DMP-BD35.
