    Price : $300 At A Glance : Viera Cast delivers ho-hum connectivity experience • Exceptional video processing • Full interactivity and audio decoding It seems like just yesterday that I reviewed the DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55 players (HT, December 2008). But Panasonic spared little time getting its replacements out into the market. This was almost a blink, and you’ll miss the window for the DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55. Read more

    My Take... My very first Blu ray player was the Panny BD10. Since then I have had almost every Panasonic Blu ray player released. As other brands they seem to get smaller and smaller. I have tested the BD60 on a 1080p plasma, 720p LCD and my VW200 PJ. All dislays are shown in the pics below. So how does it do? Read more

    The DMP-BD60K is an excellent Blu-ray player available at a very reasonable price. And while it doesn't have all of the features offered by some of the competition, the build quality and performance is better than most. If you're ready to take the step up to a true HD disc player, the DMP-BD60K makes an excellent choice. Read more

    The DMP-BD60 is undeniably an excellent choice if you're looking for a Blu-ray player. You can't go wrong! Read more

    • Decodes all audio formats, Plays DivX files (SD only, not HD), Image quality

    The Panasonic DMP-BD60 offers excellent image quality and reliable Blu-ray playback, but it doesn't have as many features as the competition. Read more

    • Excellent image quality with Blu-ray movies; Profile 2.0-compliant; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential; access to YouTube and Picasa; ...
    • Competitors offer more next-generation features like built-in Wi-Fi, Netflix streaming, and onboard memory; operational speed slow compared with newest players.

    What I mean is that if I try to watch a movie, it will stop at 13:52 and if I watch it again, it can stop at 33:12 or 10:11. It does not seem to have a pattern and this is strange. I thought this was a bargain price (it would actually have been, if it was working properly) but, I think that I will give it a couple more tries and if it does not work or I can’t figure out what is actually wrong within the next couple of days, I will get a new one because this one is not...

    The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is a capable and likeable Blu-ray player. We love the simple styling, even if it is unexciting, and we think this is likely to be a really popular machine. DivX support and an SD card reader add to the features, but this player is first and foremost about getting Blu-ray movies onto your TV with minimum fuss and maximum quality. Read more

    • Good picture quality, Viera Cast functionality has promise, Simple but pleasant design
    • Not that cheap, No 7.1 analogue audio output

    Panasonic continues its great work in the Blu-ray field with yet another feature-packed player that offers sensational picture performance and a user-friendly operating system. Viera Cast proves to be an attractive addition to an already impressive list of talents, and while the limited choice of YouTube and Picasa won't appeal to everyone, we think there's a lot of fun to be had watching video clips on your living room TV.

    The Panasonic DMP-BD60 might cost a bit more than the other top-tier Blu-ray Disc players on the market, but in our opinion it's worth it. The BD-Live-capable DMP-BD60 delivers terrific design, a plethora of features, and stellar image quality. In our image-quality tests, the Panasonic DMP-BD60 handled everything well, from bright colours in Pixar animations to subtle shades of grey in black-and-white cinematography. Read more

    • Excellent image quality, sleek and attractive design, lots of useful inbuilt features
    • Unhelpful on-screen displays

    Viera Cast and an SDHC slot make the DMP-BD60 stand out, but its slow performance and high price mean it misses out on an award. Read more

  1. Concern about full disclosure

    Amazon
    4.0/10
    Reviewer: David M. Wine, Amazon
    3 weeks ago

    A warning to those who might want to purchase this unit. Amazon does not disclose the age of electronic hardware nor the current operating firmware. I purchased this unit two weeks ago believing I was getting a brand new unit. It was brand new but it was a 2009 model that is no longer even being made. I put in new Blu-ray discs and they wouldn't play. Why - because the firmware verson was 1.5 and not the 2.5 required for the new Blu-ray discs. Shame on you, Amazon. Read more

    Won't buy anything regardless of brand where the country of origin is China. Had similar problems too many times. Would pay twice as much for something made in USA or Germany where there are actual quality control standards. I'll be lucky to buy milk from the local grocer not made in China. Read more

    • Had nice picture the 10 times it actually worked. Didn't kill me with toxic ingredients often found in Chinese goods. Well, not yet...
    • Used it less than 10 times, then no disc, can't read disc. Brought back to Best Buy, but was outside of 90 day warranty. Took apart, cleaned lens...same problem. Anoth...

    Attached to a new Samsung 32" LCD TV(Also from Newegg) I got for my Mom and it fit in really well. Delivery was prompt and in mint condition, Newegg Rocks!! Read more

    • Blue ray player, updating firmware was easy over the internet, it improved the play of older dvds, slim\stylish, controls were intuitive, and all for a moderate price.
    • Would have been nice if it came with an HDMI cable but no eggs off(newegg didn't advertise it with one).

    We use this product for Blue Ray and even tried the older dvd's. They look great. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it loads slowly. If load time is not an issue for you then its a great deal. Read more

    • Backwards Compatible, DVD Upconversion, Easy Set-Up, Excellent Image Quality, Good Connections, Good Soundtrack Support
    • Slow Load Time

    I have this player connected to my 50 inch Plasma model TC-P50C1 and the picture quality is amazing. Blu-Ray movies will blow you away with the nice picture quality. Dvd movies are so clear that it seems almost like Blu-Ray picture quality. Remember that the reason why the picture quality is so good because you will need to connect through the HDMI. Read more

    • Picture quality on both Blu-Ray and dvd movies, HDMI connection and features.
    • No Netflix available

    We finally broke down & got a BluRay player and don't think we could have gotten a better deal for the price. Not only are the BluRay movies AMAZING, so are our old DVD's. The picture quality is so crystal clear, I don't need my glasses. It came in less than a week. Keep up the EXCELLENT Customer service Overstock. We will continue to be a faithful customer. Read more

    Purchase for $199 I thought I was picking up a bargain. That's where my joy ended. The load time for blu rays are a joke. I could've gone and poured myself a drink while it loaded my discs. While scrolling through the menus on several different blurays, all had an approximate 2 second delay to react to me pressing the buttons on the remote. But my biggest concern was the optical out.
