All European Blu-ray players are obviously compatible.


US Blu-ray Players compatible with 50hz content:

LG BH200 [Outputs 50hz content at 50hz]
Momitsu BDP-899
Oppo BDP-83
Panasonic DMP-BD30 prior to firmware 1.6
Samsung BD-P1000
Samsung BD-P1200
Samsung BD-P1400
Samsung PD-P1500 [Outputs 50hz content at 60hz]
Samsung PD-P1600 [Outputs 50hz content at 60hz]
Samsung BD-P2550 [Outputs 50hz content at 60hz]

Note: You might need a 50hz compatible display to play back 50hz content with some of the above US players, though some of them convert the content to another frame rate (eg. 60hz).

US Blu-ray Players NOT compatible with 50hz content:

Panasonic DMP-BD30 with firmware 1.6 or later
Sony BD-S350
Sony Playstation 3
