good value for money deal
Everything is fine but sometimes appears erros on the LCD screen that dessapears after restart.
Todo bien, excepto algunos errores que aparecen en el LCD (ruido de imagen) que desaparecen al reiniciar.

Overal Great Product, Poor Software Support
The video quality, audio quality, and menu navigation are excellent and can compete with the best of them (especially considering this is one of the last actual Philips products). The only real issue I have with this product is that the software/firmware support is horrible. I've reported several times and issue where if you are using a Philips HDTV and this player with the TV set to Unscaled video format, there is a green bar on the left and bottom borders of the screen (this is in both menus and movies). Their response is "they will look into it", this was January '10, last firmware update was late '09.

Back to the product though. If you are looking for an inexpensive, high quality Blu-Ray player, you can't go wrong with this player. If you don't mind paying a little bit more and want actual software support, Samsung, Toshiba, or Sony may be the better way to go.

If you're just looking for a blu ray player, this is it.
I bought this player in early 2010, at Sams Club for a bit over $100.
The new thing now is internet connectivity. This doesn't have much. If that's what you're looking for, then newer products are likely more to your taste. But if you're looking for an excellent blu ray player, then you won't be dissapointed for the price.
Two movies: Wall-E and the Godfather on blu ray were both spectacular. Sharp and crisp picture on both. You can actually see a magnification effect through Michael Corleon's glass of club soda! Sound is excellent.
Loading time is good, but not great.
Finally, this will play anything I put in it. A simple set, that provides an excellent experience. If you're looking for a start up Blu ray, then you can't go wrong.

Great for the price
I purchased this player on the Amazon's Customer review letters and also a best buy review from Consumers Reports. The sound and picture is great. It loads a little slow but most Blue Ray players do. The only fault I have with it is it's looks. Not a big deal though.

What you pay for
The reviews on this were good, so I hit the button. In fairness, it plays ok, but is extremely slow to load. My unit also has an occasional digital noise problem(snow). Restarting often remedies this. Philips technical was no help. Not a bad unit for the money, you get what you pay for.....
