BDP 10

The Harman/Kardon BDP 10 is a slim and stylish Blu-ray player characterized by its full Profile 2.0 support, offering features such as BD-Live and DivX playback along with 1080p upscaling. It has a solid build quality and an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface. Despite its aesthetic appeal and robust construction, it is noted for its somewhat high price point, around £600, compared to competitors offering more features for less. While it excels in audio performance with onboard decoders for DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, the video capabilities are less impressive, featuring a softer image and lacking in vivid color and contrast. Nonetheless, it provides a natural color palette that may appeal to those preferring a more realistic depiction rather than exaggerated hues. Overall, the BDP 10 delivers quality sound and smooth picture playback but falls short against the latest models in terms of image sharpness and contrast.
