Panasonic introduced the world’s first portable Blu-ray Disc player at the CES 2009. The Panasonic DMP-B15, designed to provide the ultimate high definition Blu-ray experience for those on the go, features a 8.9-inch WSVGA LCD screen and includes the VIERA CAST internet accessibility and BD Live functionality.

The DMP-B15 provides all the technology found in its stand alone brethren, the DMP-BD60, DMP-BD80 and the VHS-Blu-ray dual player DMP-BD70V. Image quality is of the highest level, thanks to PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus technology developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory. The PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology that precisely processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems, resulting in faithful and sharp colors.

The Panasonic DMP-B15 will be available in May. Via this Panasonic announcement.
