This Blu Ray player has got it all. Makes all DVD's look and sound great. Easy to use and setup. from Circuitcity.com Many models will not play home computer generated AVCHD. This one works great. Even older DVDs have better sound and graphic improvement. Yes the dollar amount is much but, you get what you pay for. from Circuitcity.com Great player but I was very disappointed with standard DVD up-conversion. This feature only works with HDMI. from Circuitcity.com I read all the reviews on the audio and videophile web pages, when this one popped up so highly rated I was confused. How was it possible a Blu-Ray player costing half that of others was rated dead equal or higher? from Circuitcity.com This player does everything I want from a Blu-Ray player. It produces a great picture and awesome sound. from Circuitcity.com Yes, this is a great player and upconverter but so is the Toshiba HD-DVD player. All-in-all the Sony seems a more solid and reliable unit...however... from Abt.com Pros: The casing looks cool. Cons: Poor reliability, poor service from Sony. from Shopping.com This Blu-ray player was easy to set up and has a great picture. With our 65” Toshiba projection HD TV and the Sony STR-DG800 Multi Channel AV Receiver it is better than going to the movies. from Circuitcity.com Pro: Great Picture. Con: Slow loadsbuggy at times If you think you can rent blu ray movies and play them with this, think again. These players are VERY VERY picky. from Circuitcity.com I have read all of the reviews on this product before buying it. I do agree that it does take some time for the player to get going but the results are worth the wait!!! The images are 3-D quality and add great depth to the images. from Circuitcity.com
