Years ago a dvd player was a dvd player, they all did just about the same thing in just about the same way. Then the dvd market saw the rise of hd and bluray formats many of us sat tight waiting to see which would win the battle for dominance. The recent demise of hd dvd had left me ready to enter the market for a bluray player and initially it was simply confusion.
You will suddenly be asked to decide between players with real differences, their profiles, upscaling, whether you can connect to the internet and update them..........hum.
The good news is that after the painstaking research (admittedly from someone who is not at all technically minded) I decided to buy what is considered an entry level model despite having a larger budget, and it's great.
The Sony s350 is a gem, it has a range of great features including upscaling that means rather than your current collection of dvd's becoming defunct, they actually play on this player at full 1080p brilliance, the quality is great and we are not even talking about the bluray discs yet. The quality of picture and sound is fantastic and really does look noticably better on your hd tv to using a standard dvd player.
The profile of this machine is 1.1 (most are 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0)and despite the top of the range players are now at version 2.0 I feel reassured that my player has plenty of life left in it.
If you wish to watch a film with a quality of picture and sound to be 5 times better than dvd, you're fine for many years yet.
For film lovers like me the profiles have only impacted on what special features I can have running at the same time and little else. Please be advised that your experience of special features back in the old days might have been a directors commentary, things have moved on a lot since then. 'Making of's' can be watched alongside the film, interviews etc too in some cases, features do vary by film of course.
To explain to the untechnical like myself I suppose I would say imagine the dvd player more as a computer, the bigger and better yours is, the more exciting things can be done, and more of them at once. From all I have been told we are a good way off from this player being in any danger of being 'outdated'. All new releases I am aware of will play on my machine and no future releases are any different, this player can supposidly be updated and I am of the belief that when the need to update occurs products will be far more readily available to do this than at present.
It will play the bluray film, brilliantly....honestly it's incredible, add the fact it's a Sony with some great features this seem to make it by far the best buy in this price bracket. In blue/black colouring it really has a look of a far more expensive machine, it looks ultra modern (very similar to the Sony player more than double the price). The machines features are very easy to follow, set up is all done for you meaning you can literally open the box, plug in and play. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this machine, maybe it will not be enough for those who live for cutting edge technology but it ticked all the boxes for me and I hope you too.
Happy watching.
