Panasonic DMP-BDT230
The Panasonic BDT230 is a full HD 3D Blu-Ray player with some cool and convenient features. With VIERA Connect, users can access endless web content, including popular programs like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Pandora, and numerous gaming sites. Up to four people in a home can set up their personalized setting preferences. And the picture and audio quality they’ll experience with the BDT230 is enviable; the player provides a sharp, clear picture with minimal noise and high-quality audio. The Blu-Ray player also converts 2D video content from DVDs, Blu-Rays, and VIERA Connect to 3D. We only wish that the default setting didn’t allow ads. This Energy Star-certified Blu-Ray player, compact in design, is available for $106.99.
