Announcement posted by Dash PR 07 Sep 2011
Sydney, Australia, September 5, 2011 – LASER Corporation, IT and consumer electronics accessories company, today unveiled its latest Blu-ray player (BLU-BD1080). With 2011 turning out to be the year for Blu-ray, the LASER Blu-ray player presents all the coveted features of Blu-ray at an affordable price.
As content becomes increasingly available, flat panel televisions are more reasonably priced and quality hardware is within means. In addition, as technology matures, compatibility and functionality especially with media file playback becomes more straightforward. Blu-ray is growing to be within reach and LASER is now offering everyone access to a Blu-ray player.
With 1080p full high definition video and supreme surround sound, the LASER Blu-ray player outclasses other home video formats and offers an extraordinary viewing experience. The LASER Blu-ray player includes DVD upscaling (480 to 720 / 1080) and is DVD region free, meaning it has the capability to better match the performance with high definition televisions and there are no limitations of the DVD drive region settings.
Incorporating BD Live 2.0, users can download additional content for BD Live movies simply with an internet connection. The LASER Blu-ray player is equipped with Dolby Digital and Dolby True HD, as well as DTS-HD Master Audio via HDMI output, plus MP3/4, H.264 AVI, and AVCHD playback. Enhanced connectivity includes HDMI, Component, Composite, Digital Audio (coax), L/R Audio (RCA), 7.1 Channel surround, Ethernet RJ45 (BD Live), and USB.
