Although Philips hold many of the patents surrounding the Blu-Ray Technology, up until now they have been sitting fairly stagnant in the home entertainment department with only one serious contender, however they have just upped their game and have announced the release of 3 new Philips Blu Ray Players.
Philips say that their new players will be "pushing the boundaries in picture qualitiy and sound experience". As many of my readers are aware, I'm only slightly biased to the Sony BDP series in combination with the BRAVIA, but Philips do have an uncanny ability to produce exceptional quality digital media products.
The Philips Blu Ray Disc products will be BD-Live(TM) compatible as well as supporting 24 frames per second playback and upscale DVDs to 1080i. 1080p is the best picture quality provided by blu ray, but 1080i is the closest you can get from the previous technology, and for most is quite acceptable, but pop any of Blu ray movies in and you can watch in 1080p brilliance.
The Philips BDP7300 will be their top spec model and one for those of you that appreciate the sound experience as much as the visual experience of watching a movie. Their players will have the full 7.1 channel HD Audio in Dolby, TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
As well as all this, their players are DivX certified which means it can play the compressed video format often found on the internet. The players also come with 1GB internal memory.
If the current Philips Blu Ray players are anything to go by, the latest offerings will undoubtadly be unique and exceptional. Nothing had been mentioned however about their compatibility with other Philips home entertainment systems such as their HD-TV's. Once can only assume that they will integrate well, but Sony has made exceptional effort to ensure their latest offering, the Sony BDP-S360 integrates seamlessly with their BRAVIA solution so you have an out of the box package.
Let's hope that Philips can follow suite and provide some competition to Sony so we can see the bar pushed higher once again.
