    Panasonic Smart Network 4K Upscaling 3D Blu-Ray Disc & Streaming Player DMP-BDT270 (Silver), WiFi, Miracast

    • My only negative is that the remote interface is a bit awkward and not as user friendly as I would like.
    • The front panel is kind of hanging off a bit but does not obstruct the usage of the disc tray
    • I admit that punching in my Netflix user name and password took a bit of dexterity with my big thumb on the remote since I kept hitting the "home" button instead of "up" and then I lost everything I typed in but after three trys and two more beers I finally got it
    • After struggling a bit to get it setup (mostly due to cumbersome menus and bad on-screen keyboards), I updated its' firmware.
    • The UI is generally good, though it's a bit tedious for browsing through a large dlna libraries.
    • I already have an Apple TV in another room, but this is a bit more flexible because it has Amazon Prime along with Netflix.
    • Its a bit slow to connect to Netflix about 60 seconds but can't beat the quality improvement to sounds and the Blu-ray quality is great, too
    • The system loads bluray movies every bit as fast as the ps3, maybe faster.
    • I played the same Blue-Ray DVD that was skipping and stuttering in the Panasonic, in the Sony and it never hesitated a bit, worked perfectly
    • Easy to set up+ Sleek "black box" design (I don't care for Sony's look)+ Runs internet appsCons:- UI is a bit slow/laggy (compared to say, my Xbox or PS3 UI)- Need to purchase an SD card for blu-ray LIVE
    • Having to register with web-site to get Pandora app (other apps were pre-installed).A bit clunky user interface
    • The front panel is kind of hanging off a bit but does not obstruct the usage of the disc tray
    • Connection time to Amazon is good, a bit slow connecting to Netflix.
    • are a bit lacking as well.
    • The menu may look a bit strange, but if you can read the screen, the rest should be obvious.
    • The UI (menus) is a bit weak and can be improved.
    • I particularly like the smart features, but they are a bit cumbersome to use and quite slow.
    • The UI (menus) is a bit weak and can be improved.
    • I like to watch squash pro-games on youtube (or some music) and in that regard I do struggle a bit with getting access to features in the youtube app that I can access via a computer
