My girlfriend's family has had this 70 inch Mitsubishi rear projection 1080series TV for almost 10 years now, and all we've ever watched on it was regular TV and SD DVDs. When I got my Panasonic HVX200a, I shot some footage, and plugged it in via component, and it was amazing to see HD for the first time!
I don't know much about TVs and how they work with players, but I as a videographer I'm very familiar with the differences between progressive and interlaced, frame rates, pulldowns, resolutions, etc. I work with all of this on camera and computer, but once it gets to TV, I'm clueless. When I heard that some Blu-Ray players can play 24p (with no pulldown), I was amazed! I got excited, but then I realized that 24p must only be a digital (HDMI) option, and impossible for our 1080i TV with only analog component inputs. Am I right? I want to buy a good Blu Ray player that I can use now via component with our 1080i TV. But I want to find one that is 24p capable, so I can use it later on when I can afford a 1080p TV. Would 24p capable HDMI Blu Ray players also work with a 1080i component TV? Does anyone reccomend any specific players? |

I am not aware of any player that is not capable of outputting 1080/24p via hdmi.
As such your options are many and varied. Did you have a budget in mind for a player? What type of sound system will this player be hooked up to? Do you like to play video games? |

Well, I had my eye on the Panasonic DMP-BD30. I'm looking in the $250 and below range. And I guess being an HVX user makes me lean toward Panasonic over Sony.
Would the DMP-BD30 work fine with my 1080i component TV? And just to make sure, there is no way to play anything other than 60i on a 1080i TV through component right? No chance for progressive frames or 24p without pulldown right? |

To my knowledge, there is no such thing of "24p without pulldown". Any TV displaying 24 frames/sec is basically unwatchable because of the flickering (with such low refleshing rate). It can use 2:3 pulldown to achieve 60Hz playback, or 5:5 pulldown to achieve 120Hz playback (or even something else). Am I right? |

The S350 is a real nice player.
Load times are pretty fast. The menu layout (XMB) is easy to use and almost identical to the PS3. The look of this machine is "sleek". I really like the blue lighting it gives off, which is kinda comforting and not annoying like some of the lights other components/devices can give off. Does just about everything you need...great PQ and AQ. Overall I like my PS3 better (just because of the extra features), but for a standalone this thing is great! ![]() |

The Sony 350 is fine for your needs, but if you go with Panasonic get the 35, not the 30.
