BD60 vs BD30???

[kailashu]

I love my Panny BD30. No complaints whatsoever. Excellent PQ. I am interested only in PQ of BD60 as I use my HDMI receiver to decode the losless audio signals. Is anyone seeing day and night difference in PQ of BD60when compared to BD30????

I have a BD30 aswell. I am happy with it but I wish it had Live. If its even worth having it.

I'm currently trying the Sony S360 but I'm really curious about the Panny BD60 myself as I also have a Panny BD30. Reports have been good on the BD60. I guess we'll have to try and do comparisons ourself to make a determination how much better it is than the BD30. The BD60 is cheaper than what I paid for the BD30, LOL!

Somewhere on one of these internet forums for Blu Ray, there must be a comparison for PQ between those to players. A hunting I will go!

AMEN to that!!!!! I think I will buy the BD60 once it bottoms out to $200. How do you like the S360 compared to the BD30.

I had the panasonic 30 and now I have the 60. I can tell the difference. its indeed like night and day and I would highly recommend.
I suppose if you have any question you can ask.
I am using onkyo 605 and bitstreaming from the player to the receiver.

I've been wondering whether it's worth it or not to go from a 35K to a 60 or an 80.

I owned a 10AK, skipped the 30 to get a PS3, then got a 35. Anybody make the jump from 35 to 60/80 and want to fill me in??

I have the 60 for my upstairs bedroom, and I find it's a fairly minimalistic player, both in available features and looks. It plays discs well, though, and that was the goal for me. I don't intend on having a flashy setup up there, so this player works well in that sense.

One kind of cool thing about it is its ability to do the Viera Cast thing, with YouTube, weather updates (for many areas if you choose), and the Amazon movie rental thing. I can see Panasonic fleshing out the Viera Cast system, thereby making the 60 a much more comprehensive player, and especially at its price — I paid about $230 shipped for mine. Not bad for a BD-Live player right out of the box.

I'd rank it below my Sony BDP-S550 (in my main home theater), but not by too much.

Well I decided to try the BD60 before settling on the Sony S360. I also own the BD30 mentioned above in a prior post.

Well I'm not sure I agree with that statement, I'm definitely impressed but not so much so with BD over the performance of the BD30. It is better but not drastic though I admit I really just started and threw in discs to see how I felt.

BUT here's the thing. It kills the BD30 for upscaling of SD DVDs. There I will agree with you for what I've tried. It will be an easier wait for Gladiator, Jurassic Park, LOTR, Alien, and Braveheart if I decide to keep it.

I also own the Onkyo SR605. I really don't see a big improvement with the audio however with the BD60.

I think I meant about the upconversation that it was night and day.

bluray should look same on any player if you got it set up right.

do you get the audyessy light up when you play a trueHD title? on the onkyo 605 receiver?

I'm not understanding the night and day reference between the BD30 and the BD60. I know of one difference, the up conversion on the BD 60 is better for standard dvds, but night and day I can't tell the difference in PQ.
Let me know what your take is on with the BD 55 vs BD 60.

[rubystone356]

I never had the 55.. so maybe that is why I see the difference between the 30 and the 60.

I tried a decent amount of BDs at this point and the BD60 is marginally better for PQ. The bigger difference indeed is upconversion of SD DVD which is why I continue to look for another BD player as I'm not thrilled with the BD30 for that. Time will tell if I feel this player will make me more happy!
