For the optimal high definition Blu-ray video experience at home, the Elite BDP51FD features True24fps capability. Because all your favorite movies are filmed at 24 frames-per-second (fps) while most home video systems are equipped to display video at 30fps, most standard systems have to subject film-based video content to alterations that make the 24fps content display ay 30fps. While this solves the problem, it also causes others — this alteration often results in the appearance of artifacts, or distortion of the video image. Tru24fsp capability, on the other hand, offers processing that seamlessly transfers the 24fps content on your favorite Blu-ray movie to your 24fps-compatible HDTV. Video as the director intended.

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Great Player- When I first played a blu-ray disc it was so clear I was amazed. The unit functions smoothly. There is a slight delay when opening the door to put in the disc and when you power on. I find this on many new items. But the few seconds is...

The Emperor's New clothes?

by cmdr , Apr 23, 2009
Pros: Very good picture, sound and build quality. Reasonable price.
Cons: Very glitchy and will frustrate average users.
The Bottom Line: Blu Ray is a flawed and confusing format but if you must have a player, this is a good unit. I'd advise against spending more right now.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I’ve often mused on the reasons why the DVD format became such a worldwide success. Was it simply a matter of the discs’ video quality being so much better than preceding VHS tapes? We’ll it couldn’t be just that otherwise “Laser Disc” would have...
