LG 37" 1080P LCD TV? Hi...
I just bought a new LG 37LH30 37" 1080P LCD TV. Have very limited knowledge of blue ray/dvd players. As a movie buff, I want to know which is the best combination blue ray and dvd player to buy, up to $250...maybe $300.
Criteria: full 1080P, maximum Dolby sound features, ability to play as many different kinds of dvd's, plus upconverting/upscaling of dvd's to 1080P, deepest contrast ratios (making black darker), a unit that is rugged and reliable and dependable, one that works well and meets expectations, doesn't break down easily, lasts the longest, has best reliability and user satisfaction, including best warranty and customer service, and will last at least 2-3 years.
I'm not a gamer, and also not interested in using it for camera or camcorder interaction. Want to watch both blue ray and dvd movies on rented disc, plus on-demand movies from my Time-Warner cable TV source, and download movies & TV shows from the Internet.
I'm not familiar with most blue ray/dvd technical features and what they mean, or differences between Dolby features, or which capabilities rank most important.
My research indicates the following order, from the top down, are best for me: Panasonic DMP-BD35K, Sony BDPS350, Samsung BD-P1500, and the LG BD300. But I'm not a techie and am operating blind...especially since I've never had or used a dvd or blue ray player before.
Need help!
Thanks to all...
