The DMP-BDT100, Panasonic's latest Blu-ray player, is a smaller and faster unit, designed for a release later this year. How much smaller? According to Panasonic's unnecessarily precise press release the BDT100 is 1-17/32 inches smaller than the BDT350. Apparently that last thirty-second of an inch is the clincher.
As a player it does just about everything you'd expect. It plays Blu-ray discs as well as 3D Blu-rays. "The DMP-BDT100 reproduces the ultimate in 3D images," says Panasonic. It also upscales standard DVDs up to 1080p. The BDT100 also gets you a nice quick load speed of just a half a second. That's a nice improvement from the days when a minute looked good. Pricing and availability are unknown at the moment, but it's assumed that the BDT100 will priced lower than Panasonic's current players. |
