US Blu-ray players and 50hz compatibility

[4K2K]

This is a thread to list all US Blu-ray players and whether they are compatible with 50Hz Blu-ray content (eg. 50i/50p). Usually this means 1080/50i, which could contain either 50i interlaced content or 25p progressive content.

All European Blu-ray players are obviously compatible.

Note: You will need a 50Hz compatible display to play back 50Hz content with some of the above US players (eg. Panasonic DMP-BD60) or use a video processor to convert it to a compatible rate.

Other players (including the Samsung players) convert the content to another frame rate (eg. 60Hz) so they don't need a 50Hz compatible TV.
