Cheap Blu Ray Player

Philips BDP5012/F7 Blue-ray Disc Player Price

I have looked for a player that plays both Blu-Ray and DVD discs well, since I have read that some Blu-Ray players may play either DVD or Blu-Ray discs well but not both. Since I own a DVD collection, I wanted to make sure that a player I would get plays both with good quality. This unit does not skimp on the quality of DVD playback for Blu-Ray or vice-versa. I am satisfied with this unit’s performance. Also, the included 6 foot HDMI cable is really nice, since I needed one to connect this to my HDTV. It comes with a composite cable in case you want to play discs to a standard definition television as well. Connectors on the back include HDMI, Component, Composite, and speaker connections.

Customer Reviews

Great for the price – Richard E. Zwiesler – Downers Grove, IL
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 – ritewinger – New Hampshire, USA
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…..

It simply plays Blu-Ray disk! – R. Xu – USA
This puppy works seamlessly with pretty much any kind of Blu-Ray disc. Other brands (like Samsung, Sony, Vizio or Panasonic) have a tiny restriction on the compatibility. But with this Philips model, so far, there is no issue I know of. It does not have the fancy “slick” looking but it simply works!
