ur jury rated it number one in our tests of detail color quality brightness and contrast and audio. Aside from a great picture great sound and a fast response time the BD-HP20U doesn’t offer much.

Even the included USB port is limited–it can be used only for firmware updates not for running images or media files. This model does have an on-board capability to decode Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus audio–a boon for titles that come with those sound-track formats. ne downside to the player’s design: If you lose the remote you’re in trouble.
