The Panasonic WiFi-enabled Blu-Ray DVD player is one of the few players that can also browse the web. Not only can you watch high-definition movies on the player, but you can also access the Internet and stream media onto your television. Several different Panasonic models have this Internet feature.
The overall look of the Panasonic DVD player is sleek and streamlined. The company has obviously worked hard to minimize the size of the player and improve its energy efficient features. It has an automatic on/off switch that turns off when the TV is off. However, it does not have a memory card reader, which prohibits you from adding media with an external storage device.
Video quality in the newest Panasonic models is better than ever, with a 1080/24p playback and a color system that has twice the accuracy of regular DVD players. Blu-ray players are, of course, superior to regular DVD players when it comes to picture quality. Most new DVDs are released with a Blu-ray version because the format is becoming popular.
One of the best features of the Panasonic WiFi DVD player is the WiFi feature. You are going to need a router in order to use the DVD player’s Internet. Once you add the device to your router, you can watch streamed videos from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube or other video players. You can also stream free TV shows from websites like Fancast and Hulu, thus doubling your entertainment choices.
Any of the Panasonic models that have the WiFi feature are good choices if you are considering a new purchase. The setup is easy, the features are sleek and you can watch free movies and TV shows without messing around with wires. However, the price point may be too high for some people. Blu-ray players are still expensive compared to the average non-Blu-ray player, so consider carefully your uses for a DVD player.
