The Pioneer BDP-HD1 is a fine Blu-ray player with many excellent traits, most notably superlative detail, color, and sound. Its lack of compatibility with CD and BD-R/RE is unfortunate, as is its lack of support for any advanced audio codecs. But the smoothness of motion you get when the player?s 24fps output is hitched to a 24fps display dispels any misgivings, bringing the movies home in a whole new way.
