By Mark Pearson


A High Definition TV has already become the prevailing choice in America, with more than 60 percent of families owning one. And another 12% plus intend to obtain one soon. The trend worldwide is for families to get High Definition TV. Still, a Blu-ray player is required if you want to take full advantage of your High Definition TV. The new online fad for a lot of people is to view streaming flicks and television shows. It's already a common opinion that Blu-ray is out-of-date. Still, web streaming cannot compete with the quality you experience from viewing from a Blu-ray disc. Of course bluray is exceptional but for when you might be on the road next to nothing can beat the ability to download ipad movies

The Blu-ray players currently available give you the best of both worlds as they offer streaming services and also playing discs. This benefit is provided by the VBR200W, the current Blu-ray player offered by Vizio. It's not radically different from their older Blu-ray players, except for some new functionalities. Flicks can be streamed from Netflix and VUDU, through wireless connection, because of the built-in Wi-Fi ability combined with Vizio's Internet Apps . The player is a compact and convenient 2.4 inches high, while the controls - touch sensitive - are in the usual location on the VBR200W's front. The disc tray is in the center on the front, and the unit comes across as really sophisticated with its black, shiny finish.

Hidden from view, the I/O connections are found on the player's back end. The video quality of the VBR200W Blu-ray player by Vizio is Full HD 1080p while using a Blu-ray disc and it plays regular DVDs at levels virtually as good as High Definition. You can use one of three options - Component, HDMI, and composite outputs - to plug in the video. The greatest video output is reached when using the HDMI connection when replaying Blu-ray discs and DVD discs also.

The sound playback quality is 7.1 multi channel surround sound by way of HTMI, and also, other connections are analog and Digital Optical/Coaxial outputs. Provision is made for DTS-Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD internal decoding, but not for 7.1 analog outputs. Streaming of films, news, television programs, music, funny videos and other content is performed via the Vizio VBR200W player's Internet Apps. There are many online serviices that you can use including Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, The New York Times, Associated Press, Pandora Internet Radio and a great deal more. To make full use of the online streaming content, an internet connection is needed, either a wireless connection or through the Ethernet Port.

The VBR200W Blu-ray player by Vizio has an Owner's Manual and also a Quick Start Guide for simple setup, and added information. Streaming video and music straight off from computer files to a player is desirable, and it's a pity that the VBR200W player does not have this feature. The superb video and audio put out by the VIZIO VBR200W Blu-ray Player are but two of the reasons for purchasing one. With HDMI, video playback on a Blu-ray disc is Full HD 1080p. There is provision for internal audio decoding for Dolby Digital TrueHD in addition to DTS-HD. Many online streaming services can be accessed, like Netflix and VUDU for HD movies, and news, music and other web content - and you can get connected through Wi-Fi. Two deficiencies of the VBR200W are that it has no DLNA capability or a Quick Start Mode.

If you are trying to search for a Blu-ray player,The Vizio VBR200W gives you a good deal of features at a very modest cost. With The VBR200W, you will get excellent audio and video quality, easy to navigate menu choices, as well as built-in Wi-Fi and web streaming services. The VBR200W should be priced in-store at just below $200.
