First portable Blu-ray player

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 collection, you might be frustrated that you can't watch those movies on a plane or even in your bedroom. The real niche of the DMP-B15 is letting you watch your high-definition discs in more locations (rather than making the immersive Blu-ray experience portable), and the DMP-B15 is well-suited to the task. It has a full suite of car accessories and an HDMI output that makes it easy to use as a standalone player, too. However, like many first-generation devices, the DMP-B15 has plenty of caveats: a bulky design, short 2.5 hour battery-life, and less reliable playback than standalone players. Even more crippling is its sky-high $800 list price, making it only slightly cheaper than entry-level Blu-ray-equipped laptops.

DESIGN:
Be the first of these mobile applications for Blu-Ray player, but the first reaction, then out of the box "success, and this is great." The Disaster Management Program - B15 is a large, mostly because of its construction in the position, which is actually required because of weapons of mass destruction B15 unusual design. While most of the players sport a portable DVD a Clamshell design - just open it and start watching - DMP - B15 screen reality on its head when it is opened for the first time unit. Screen for the right-side up, and put it on the development of flat and near unity. Sitting position, from weapons of mass destruction B15-like digital photo frame, and it definitely has the elegant look of a standard portable DVD player, but we still prefer the design with the Slimmest Clamshell.

FEATURES: If the DMP-B15 was the only portable Blu-ray player, it would be almost impossible for its $ 800 price tag. However, Panasonic has packaged and DMP-B15 almost as much functionality as the entry-level stand-alone Blu-ray player, the DMP-BD60, so it is suitable for use in the home environment very well.

The main reason DMP-B15 functions as an independent operator is the HDMI output. Connect DMP-B15 to HDTV, and can output high definition video and high-resolution audio, and large units. For older TVs, there are also composite AV output for use with the included breakout cable. In the SD slot is connected and you should insert the card (not included) for BD-Live features. Rounding connectivity and a headphone jack for Ethernet port. Similarly, as the DMP-BD60, DMP-B15 can then access Panasonic VieraCast own portal content, including YouTube and Picasa, from Amazon Video On Demand one hand this summer, according to Panasonic.

PORTABLE BENIFITS:
When rolled Panasonic DMP-B15 at CES in 2009, more than the tech community responded to the skepticism about the usefulness and Blu-ray in the 8.9-inch screen. If many people say it is hard to see the difference between DVD and Blu-ray in 50-inch screen, the DMP-B15 appeared to step in the wrong direction.

However, it is also surprised when, in fact, the DMP-B15 to the test procedure. You can see the difference between Blu-ray and DVD, the 8.9-inch screen, but one has to sit close to it - one foot out. That sounds like a sarcastic dig, but a machine, especially in the car, which is a realistic view of the posts at a distance.

What's "Batman Begins" in Blu-ray and DVD, and sold it back to two discs. Blu-ray is clearly better in many scenes details. For example, the monastery is the 2nd section, the DVD also showed softness, and compression artifacts, finally, a detailed picture the throne, while the Blu-ray appears to be relatively high. However, the difference almost immediately leaves the disk as soon as the head moves back another foot. The difference between the picture quality is not enough for the cost, but does not deny that the Blu-ray DVD movies look better than the DMP-B15.
