Experience Movies Like Never Before The DMP-BD85 employs the PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus. Developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, this high image processing technology reproduces clear, vivid colors that are faithful to the original film. Panasonic's Blu-ray Disc players employ high precision 4:4:4 signal technology, which working in tandem with PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the horizontal direction to compliment vertical direction processing. P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) is another technology that contributes to the superior picture quality of the Blu-ray players. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimal processing to every pixel. Panasonic's Blu-ray Disc players further utilize 16-level motion detection to categorize the image motion of each pixel into one of 16 levels; diagonal processing to detect diagonals and correct the pixels accordingly; 1080p up-conversion to up-convert content recorded in the 480i/p or 720p format to 1080p. This Blu-ray Disc player also provides 1080/24p output, reproducing cinema images from a Blu-ray Disc and DVD in their original 24p form with no need for conversion--enabling you to enjoy cinema images in the same format used in cinema with a 1080/24p-compatible TV. Complimenting the HD audio codecs, the BD85 Blu-ray Disc player features 96kHz surround re-master, a function that enhances the sound quality of CDs and other sources, and even improves the quality of the multi-channel audio data on Blu-ray Discs and DVDs.

 Would like a couple more features July 30, 2010

Hopefully this review will keep others from expecting the Panasonic DMP-BD85K WiFi Enabled Blu-Ray Disc Player to have features that it does not. To be fair, the item description never stated the device came with these features. It works well in terms of playing DVDs and has great picture and sound quality. However it does not play files from hard drives well. My other Blu-Ray player (Samsung) can wirelessly play mp3s from other computers and hard drives connected to my network. This player connects to the wireless network through the access point, so it can not. I hope some day Panasonic will add this ability through a firmware update. Also while it plays from USB thumb drives, it was not able to play mp3s from my USB hard drive.
 Panasonic DMP-BD85 comparison July 27, 2010

When Sony won the HD contest with Toshiba I instantly bought a Sony BD player, no WiFi at that time. After a year and a half it quit. I didn't want to have it repaired. I then bought a Samsung BD-C6500 as it had builtin WiFi. This feature failed to remember the router code meaning that I had to reprogram it every time I wanted to watch a Netflix movie. It also would not resume playing a DVD if it were shut off part way through the movie. After 2 1/2 months of frustration I contacted Amazon and they were more than understanding. They allowed me to either replace it or return it for a refund. I opted for the return of nearly 100%.
As a replacement, I bought a Panasonic DMP-BD85 that does it all perfectly. After the first simple setup the WiFi streaming works flawlessly, every time. And, if I press Stop part way through the movie and then turn it Off, the next time I turn it ON I get the message asking if I want to resume the movie where I left it. Clicking Yes instantly begins the movie where I left it.
Fan Effing Tastic! Panasonic has it all.

If you don't mind loading your blu ray, then waiting ten minutes for it to start, then you'll be fine with this player. If you actually want to start watching a movie when you load it, I would suggest buying the new Sony Blue Ray player. We did and we're now happy. If you need to exit out of the movie and then need to reload it... well I hope you don't minding waiting a few more minutes.
Netflix feed was blurry.
Net menu wasn't impressive.
Near perfect design for 2010 - offers internet playback for netflix July 24, 2010

Prior to this model, the viera system in 2009 series players could not generate a unique serial number. Netflix's reaction to this was to not send netflix on demand to these players since their 6 display limit could not be enforced as all pre 2010 units didn't have a unique ID which could be tracked.
Be sure to get the most recent firmware upgrade from panasonic before use. You can burn a firmware disc from your pc and drop it in if you don't have your network link up yet.
On the back is a dedicated usb port for their 802.11 unit. It manages priorities to try and keep an uninterrupted stream, but lacks 5.8 ghz capability. Compared to a hardwired link it is good for music but can suffer at high speed video.
Those are the most significant changes from the 60, 80 and 605 units of 2009. With the firmware upgrade you can get a unique id to punch into netflix and stream movies on demand. They have also relocated the viera key on the remote for what it is worth and dimmed the blue light to be less disturbing in open rack systems. Avchd sd playback remains the same as 2009 players.
Amazon's pricepoint has been running about $25 below the retail chains on this model making it an overall excellent buy for those entering the bluray field or buying a new generation model that has futureproofing bluray lacked in the early adopter days.
