Panasonic DMP-BD55 Review Thread

[teemacone]

I just picked up the new Panasonic 55 blu ray player at Circuit City last night. I didn't even know it was coming out yet, but I wanted the internal audio decoding so I got it. I think it was supposed to be the floor model becuase when I opened the box it had a cardboard piece of marketing material attached to the top of it via adhesive. Or is that how Panasonic's roll out of the box normally?

Anyways, I unwired my Sony S-1 and hooked up the new Panny and put in the NIN concert to ensure my analogs were in the right place...and cranked it. It sounded tight tight of the box with no audio tweaks. The 1080i looked scratchy, but then I put in DH4 and the 1080p/24 goodness was very pure on my plasma. Oh, and the DTS-MA soundtrack was crackalackin.

If anyone else has this machine, let me know your thoughts.
