Comments on Panasonic DMP-B100 Portable Blu-ray Player

Although not quite as feature-packed as the DMP-B15, the DMP-B100 is still an impressive portable player that musters striking picture quality, despite only being fitted with a 1024 x 600 pixel screen. With most scenes you can clearly see the step-up in quality from DVD and to most people that will be the key factor. There are some tasty features on board too, such as DivX HD playback and an SD card slot. Although Wi-Fi enabled BD Live access would have turned a good portable player into a great one, and although the hefty price tag may put some people off, it’s worth remembering that you’re also getting a decent Blu-ray player for the home as well as for your travels.

A good review of a nice device. I take no issue with anything said, with one minor exception, which is the review seems to miss the one point for me which would be the motivator for buying one of these.

It's not that I would want to see high-def on a tiny mobile screen (though that's a bonus if I can), it's that I have started collecting Blu-Ray versions of films instead of DVDs for high def viewing on my big screen at home and I'd like to be able to watch them when I'm on my travels.

I appreciate I could buy extra DVD versions of the movies with the money saved by not going for a BluRay portable but that's inelegant/a nuisance/an organisational headache /not in keeping with hi-tech gadget lust.

Enjoyed this review and the site in general.

Cheers, Crash
