Samsung BD-C7900

With 3D becoming more and more commonplace, you want a player that can handle it well.  Samsung's $400 BD-C7900 is one of the best.  It's a new player on the market, but it's essentially an upgraded version of the C6900 that came out earlier this year.

The biggest difference between the C7900 and the C6900 is the inclusion of a second HDMI output for audio.  That makes the C7900 one of few 3D players on the market that caters to customers with older receivers.

To add to that, it's got all the streaming features you'd expect.  You can get movies from Blockbuster and Netflix, as well as music from Pandora.  The C7900 even has WiFi built right in so you don't have to worry about cords. The biggest downside to the C6900 was the amount of noise put out by the player.  That's something that should hopefully be addressed in the C7900.

Sony BDV-E770W

There are times – though they're very few and far between – when a home theater in a box is just what you need.  Maybe you're getting a home theater system for the kids or for the folks, or for a room that doesn't need all the bells and whistles.

In that case, Sony's BDV-E770W is a great way to go.  It's one of few HTiBs that's 3D capable, and that's a major selling point.  The E770W also includes a decent set of speakers for what they are – the rear two of which are wireless.

The player itself also has wireless capabilities when it comes to internet streaming.  You can access Netflix, YouTube, Pandora and a series of other online providers as well as stream media from computers on your home network.  The E770W comes in at an MSRP of $649. 

Sony BDP-CX7000ES

Megachangers gained a great deal of popularity during the era of CDs and DVDs, but it's tough to find one out there these days.  Sony is one of few companies to create a carousel system capable of loading multiple Blu-ray discs.

alterseekers  - nice gadgets!   |2010-12-09 11:45:53 These are all great options for affordable Blu-ray players with built-in WiFi. Their ability to get connected to the internet wirelessly is really a big help, plus it gives an additional device that can connect to your wireless network powered by your wireless router. And speaking of wireless routers, if you're looking for a good one, I recommend you check out the Netgear Wireless Router for Video and Gaming. You can use this device to connect computers, gaming consoles, notebooks, or wireless printers, and also your networked home theater devices. You can also use this to stream video and music from a USB drive to media players and DLNA TV's, even without using a computer. Not that's one powerful wireless router for you. 0   0
