Cheap Blu Ray Player

Momitsu BDP-799 Blu-ray DVD Player Region Free Price

I got this Momitsu Blu-ray player solely because I need a Region A or multi-region player to watch locked Criterion Blu-ray discs in the U.K.. This player has the advantage over straight US Blu-ray players in that it doesn’t need a step-down converter (the current is a variable 110V to 240V): it only needs a travel adaptor to convert the 2-pin U.S. plug into a U.K. or Euro fitting.

First off, image-wise the 799 excels in providing a clear, superbly detailed picture. Of course, it helps that I’m watching fantastic Criterion Blu-ray transfers. But it is apparant that the Momitsu can handle motion exceptionally well, which is after all a stumbling block for many -more expensive, bigger-name- Blu-ray players.  Read more...

Momitsu BDP-799 Blu-ray DVD Player Region Free Price

Pros: This player has more features and is more versatile than players costing hundreds of dollars more. It can play DVD and Blue Ray dics from any region with a remote code that can be found on the internet. It has a built in PAL, NTSC convertor as well. I upgraded to this player from the Oppo DV-981HD. The DVD picture quality is the same or better. The Blue Ray picture quality is amazing.

Cons: noisy disc loading, clumsy menu navigation, poor documention, short power cord, lack of legacy inputs, you have to turn on the TV to see CD track info.  Read more...
