Der Panasonic kombiniert füllige Ausstattung und erstklassige Bildqualität mit einem niedrigen Preis, weshalb er einen Preistipp verdient. Nur Kleinigkeiten wie etwa das fehlende Lip-Sync-Delay lassen Platz für Kritik.

The Panasonic DMP-BDT260 Blu-ray deck is all about value for money. Built-in Wi-Fi is handy, as is Netflix. However, a USB stick needs used if video streaming apps are to work properly, and there really needs to be more of them. The lack of 2D-3D conversion for Blu-ray discs is also disappointing.

A likeable Blu-ray player with some pleasing features and eye-catching looks, but similarly-priced rivals offer a bit more for your money.

The BDT260 has been worth the wait. The player’s only real snag is its lack of display. Instead, a single red light indicating it is powered on marks the only sign of life. It may not be the most feature-packed player out there, but its picture and sound performance heartily make up for it. If this is indicative of the range, we can’t wait to see what the rest of it has in store.
