3D Blu Ray player suggestion please.

[Beatmatcher247]

Alright, the boss just got me a couple of pairs of 3d glasses that are compatible with my panny, but I was dissapointed to see that my cambridge 650bd does not support 3d. I guess when I bought it my main concern is that it had a great analog section and can play 2d blu rays well. It delivers well on both of those fronts. I obviouslt am wrong in my thinking that a video signal is a video signal. Looking at cambridge's firmware updates, nothing seems to deliver 3d support.

My marantz av7005 preamp seems to be hdmi 1.4a 3D compatible from what I am reading.

Please suggest me something appropriate for my gear. Most important to me are both 3d picture quality and sound quality (although i do not think i need something with a great dac as i already have that in the 650bd, and ill be feeding audio to preamp over hdmi never using the dac).

Thia is getting to be an expensive forray into 3d for something I am not even sure I will like. No where has a vt50 around here that I can go to and give it a test drive to see if the ends justify the means. If nothing else, you may see a blu ray player and 2 pairs of glasses on ebay soon. lols.

That's pretty pricey for that unit. You can get the DMP-BDT220 for less money ($99) at Amazon. It's pretty well rated, and CNET had it as a best buy.

Thanks guys.

Now is there any benefit to spending more on a different unit? Being that I am really happy with the analog section on the cambridge, the only feature I really care about is 3d support with top notch 3dpq, and sound quality (over hdmi not analog). My speakers and display are pretty revealing of shortcomings in both pq and sq.

I have no need for internet, apps, networking, streaming or anything of that nature because of the pc I have hooked up. I will only be playing blu rays so quality upconversion is not an issue either.

Could I buy the unit listed above and meet my needs?

I'm not really one to check for best prices. Just a quick link saying that one would suffice and do what he needs/wants. Panasonic makes great, inexpensive BD players.

I guess I have all the stuff to watch BD in 3D besides an actual DVD but I have never had the urge to even try it.
