Vizio VBR200

The Vizio BR200W is a fairly standard Blu-ray Disc player that outputs attractive Blu-ray images to an HDTV. But it stumbles at the task of upscaling DVDs. And though the player's Internet capabilities permit you to stream videos from Netflix and Vudu, it doesn't support YouTube playback--a feature found on competing models at roughly the same price ($190, as of May 5, 2010). We also found its physical design frustrating to use. Though this model doesn't produce the best images we've seen on a Blu-ray player, it outperformed the Sony PlayStation 3. In our lab testing, we especially noted the sharp, well-saturated colors in Phantom of the Opera (chapter 3), and the well-modulated handling of whites in the black-and-white Good Night and Good Luck (chapter 1). Unfortunately, the BR200W had some problems, too. We saw some digital artifacting in our Mission: Impossible III clip--a scene with a lot of fast camera movements over complex architecture (chapter 7). And a dusk scene from The Searchers (chapter 20) looked a bit too bright. Even so, those scenes looked better on the Vizio player than on the PS3.

Vizio VBR200W

Known for its reasonably priced HDTVs featured in retail outlets such as Costco, BJ's, and Walmart, Vizio has added yet another affordable home theater component to its lineup: The connected Blu-ray player. The Vizio VBR200W ($199.99 list) is a versatile player that delivers a great picture and includes many of the Web features found on more expensive players. It's not the prettiest Blu-ray box out there, nor is it the most compact, but as with most Vizio products, the under-$200 price is right. Not as bulky as its first generation of Blu-ray players, the VBR200W is considerably bigger than the latest crop to hit the market. Measuring 2.4 by 16.9 by 10.9 (HWD) inches, it's almost 3 inches deeper and about an inch taller than both the Sony BDP-S570 ($249.99, ) and LG BD570 ($299.99, ). To make matters worse, there's a Wi-Fi antenna that juts out of the back panel that adds another inch to the overall depth. The front panel is piano black and features a Power switch on the left and Open/Close, Play/Pause, Reverse, and Forward controls on the right, all of which are touch sensitive and illuminated with white backlighting. In the center of the player's face is the media tray, which has a rounded silver bezel on its front.
