A decent Blu-ray player marred by ads

The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.
Pros:
  • The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 offers excellent Blu-ray and DVD image quality
  • Its selection of streaming services is good and it's a relatively inexpensive player
Cons:
  • Advertising is built in to several of the menus, including undefeatable video ads in the app marketplace
  • The menu system can be a little perplexing at first and it's easy to hit the Netflix button on the remote by accident.

Smart Blu-ray, Good Price

Have owned this player for 2 months and it's perfect. My tv is an older LCD so it's not "smart" but this blu-ray player turns it into a "smart" tv. I love that I can put a flash drive into the usb on the front, and the buttons are well-placed on the top edge of the player.

Be prepared to see sponsored ads in the menu!

Panasonic go to great lengths to tell you about the specifications of this DVD player except for the fact that they have sponsored ads they promote written right into the DVD's menu! Tyson Chicken, tire ads, etc. etc. To add insult to injury, the online support says there's no way to turn them off!
Pros:
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • sponsored ads in the player's menu

Panasonic DMP-BDT230 Blu-ray Player

Last time I looked at a Blu-ray player from Panasonic it was their DMP-BDT210 model. It had almost everything I wanted in a Blu-ray player: perfect image performance, fast loading times, and a good deal of streaming content.

great cheap blu ray

Bought this for my husband as he kept buying blu ray movies instead of DVDs (ya not very techy). It was easy to install and works great. Haven't tried the wireless part of it yet as our router not working properly. Highly recommend as a basic blu ray with many options.

The DMP-BDT230 hits the major points we look for in a Blu-ray player: good A/V performance, good speed and reliability, and a good assortment of features for its $120 asking price.

Good

I bought this partially hoping to reduce the number of remotes. Recently I bought a Panasonic TV and thought the remote from my TV would work the basic functions of the Panasonic Blu-Ray. Wrong. So I ended up buying a Logitech Harmony 650 which did the job. [...
