These two Blu-ray players are currently the best-selling models in the market for one reason. They are simply two of the best Blu-ray players in the market. The both come with superb video playback and a host of very impressive features. The million-dollar question is (or rather $300 question), which one is the better player?

I would say the Panasonic DMP-BD60 and the LG BD390 are catered for two very different market segments. For one, the Panasonic is the cheaper model and hence would appeal to price-sensitive consumers. The LG BD390 on the other hand come with some of the best features that can be found in a Blu-ray player.

For starters, the LG BD390 is one of the few players in the market that has built-in wi-fi capabilities. This lets you access the internet without using a cable. You will have to use a cable for the Panasonic model. Once connected, you will be able to access streaming online content from YouTube, CinemaNow and Netflix. This turns the Blu-ray Player into a entertainment content powerhouse.

Another distinguishing factors is the speed and performance of both models. Although the Panasonic has decent speed, the LG BD 390 is much faster when it comes to operational speed. This may seem like a minor issue but will make all the difference in the world for Blu-ray enthusiasts. Other than these two major factors, both players were very impressive when it comes to the quality of video playback for DVD and Blu-ray movies. If you need a straightforward and simple player, the Panasonic DMP-BD60 would be a good bet. If you are looking to get a player with a speedy performance and an excellent feature set, the LG BD390 is the way to go!

Of course anyone and everyone that has a Blu-ray player or that understands the technology may be ready to give you an opinion and some may really understand what the differences are between players. But typically a Blu-ray player just sends the same signal as any other and they work pretty much the same, so it’s just a matter of understanding what you want from the player and which seem to be more dependable and reliable as well.

Sony was the brand that pioneered this technology so some believe they have the best grasp of it and can offer the best systems. Again, this is just an opinion. Technology is easy to duplicate although Sony does have a great reputation when it comes to reliability and longevity.

The best advice you can probably get when it comes to picking a new Blu-ray player is to shop the different accessories and features so that you get something that fits your family’s needs. This will be better than getting just any old Blu-ray recommendation for a system that won’t quite work for you!
