What is the best Blu-ray player on the market right now?

Many still prefer the PS3 but what is your favorite Blu-ray player on the market right now?

Hmmmm...

While I love the picture of my Sony BDP-S1, the Samsung BDP-1200 is the closest to a conventional DVD player I have found and the picture is utterly stunning.

On the flip side, the Samsung doesn;t like my switcher/amp/TV combo and causes me problems that have it relegated to the bedroom so I guess I would put my BDP-S1 at the top for my rooms.

For now I'm sticking with my PS3, it is a very good player.
Now I will eventually get a standalone player, a Sony ES or a Denon perhaps but for the $$$ difference I'm not seeing enough picture quality difference so I'll wait a bit since the PS3 is doing so well right now.

My favourite blu ray player is the Sony bdps1es uk model it plays cd and outputs DTS HD master through 5.1 analogue. I had ps3 but found out the bdps1es is better for sound quality and picture quality. Thanks

The Denon unit promises to be very good but I don't know anyone who has it.

The Samsung BDP1200 is the video calibroator's choice from what I can tell. My BDP1000 was a POS. The 1200 is supposedly WAY better. To be fair my Toshiba XA1 was even more of a POS...

I never had problems with the BDP-1000 except when I had to update the firmware to get it to play Pirates of the Carribean. Sure a little slow, but mechanically it worked, far better than the XA1.... That was the biggest dog on the market.
