- Panasonic DMP-B15K
- Photo gallery:Panasonic DMP-B15 The Panasonic DMP-BD15 is the first portable Blu-ray player, and at first it's easy to write it off as useless since much of Blu-ray's visual superiority doesn't translate on its 8.9-inch screen. But that's missing the point. If you're a home theater buff with a growing Blu-ray...

- LG BD390
- Photo gallery:LG BD390In 2009, it's not enough for a Blu-ray player to just play Blu-ray movies.

- Photo gallery:LG BD370If you've been following the Blu-ray market, it was getting obvious toward the end of 2008 that standalone players needed to innovate, since previous step-up features, like Profile 2.0 and DTS-HD Master Audio, were becoming standard. LG was the first company to break the mold by releasing the...

- Insignia NS-BRDVD
- Pundits debate whether Blu-ray will be as successful as DVD, but they're relatively united on one issue: the prices of the players need to drop before the format takes off. The Insignia NS-BRDVD is part of a new breed of bargain players we've seen this year, and its $300 list...

- Sony BDP-S350
- Sony has been the public face of Blu-ray since the format's inception, and while most of the focus during the bitter Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war was on the company's PlayStation 3, Sony has been making standalone Blu-ray players from the start, beginning with the $1,000 BDP-S1. Unfortunately, that...

- Samsung BD-P1500
- The most important question for any standalone Blu-ray player is whether it's better than the Sony PlayStation 3. Let's answer that one right off the bat: Samsung's new BD-P1500 is not.
