A decent Blu-ray player marred by ads

The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is mostly a solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.

The ; offers excellent Blu-ray and DVD image quality. Its selection of streaming services is good and it's a relatively inexpensive player.

Advertising is built in to several of the menus, including undefeatable video ads in the app marketplace. The menu system can be a little perplexing at first and it's easy to hit the Netflix button on the remote by accident. The YouTube app lags.

The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.

Panasonic DMP-BDT230 review

Top 2D & 3D picture quality, Smart TV, built-in Wi-Fi and display mirroring make this Blu-Ray player an outstanding addition to your home entertainment system.

The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 costs a little more than the average Blu-Ray player, but it delivers a lot more. Whilst most Blu-Ray players do pretty much the same job, the BDT230 delivers a little extra. Not only does it include 3D playback, Smart TV and...
