Which Blue Ray player to buy ?

I agree with Cruz123, the Oppo BDP-83, is redundant to your current univ player and therefore you will be overbuying (I think it's around $600?).

The panasonic BD35 and BD55 both have 2 channel audio out (the latter has 7.1 out). I have a BD55 and pic quality is great as is audio.

But, because these panasonics will be replaced with the BD60 and BD80,unfortunately for you, the old models are scarce and getting marked up higher than retail prices from pre christmas 08. Maybe a used BD35 will pop up for you.

I purchased an LG BD-300 last fall and I've been thrilled with it. I have not compared the picture quality with other players, but it looks great to me. And I haven't tried using it for its audio capabilities. However, it has a feature that allows Netflix streaming movies over the Internet that is very neat. It costs nothing beyond your regular Netflix subscription, and you can instantly watch a good number of movies available on Netflix.

Just another one for you to consider, as this unit has a feature that helps to set it out from the pack.

Well depending on your independent needs, if you want the best of the best video, and excellent audio possibly with an external dac with low money in mind regarless of cost on higher end units... here is the link to read direct comparisons of almost all above mentioned units included.

Sufentanil,
I like the Netflix streaming aspect but my modem is in another room.
Any idea how I can solve that issue ?
