Blu-ray DVD players: Compare features & prices Panasonic DMP-BD75 review http://www.which.co.uk/technology/tv-and-dvd/reviews/blu-ray-dvd-players/panasonic-dmp-bd75/review/
The DMP-BD75 is the entry-level model in Panasonic's 2011 Blu-ray player range, so it doesn't have many advanced features. Panasonic has an impressive track record of producing decent Blu-ray players, however, and we were keen to see if this relatively cheap model could deliver the goods where it matters.
