      Sony BDP-S500

      By Ian Morris

      Review summary: The Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray player is an excellent performer. Both standard definition and high definition material alike looks beautiful, providing scenes with sharpness and strong colour. Audio quality is also crisp, but does this player measure up to ...

      Pros: Picture quality ; sound quality ; styling

      Cons: Price ; front panel feels fragile ; no included HDMI cable ; no profile 1.1 or 2.0 support ; did we mention price yet

      Verdict: There is no compelling reason to buy this player over a PlayStation 3: it's too expensive, doesn't support profile 1.1 or 2.0, and costs more than pretty much every Blu-ray player on the market. The picture and sound quality are, however, excellent, ...

      Sony BDP-S500

      Review summary: Sony's flagship Blu-ray player comes bearing a snazzy motorised fascia, support for 24fps video and a premium price tag. Is it time to upgrade?

      Pros: Excellent colour, motion and detail for Blu-ray and DVD. Great build and design. Good with CDs

      Cons: No DTS-HD Master Audio through HDMI. No Ethernet. Pictures could do with more crispness and black detail

      Sony BDP-S500

      Review summary: The automated loading tray means fingerprints should be kept to a minimum

      Pros: Excellent images ; Solid build quality ; High resolution audio

      Cons: Not Profile 1.1 ; No DTS-HD Master Audio ; No SACD

      Verdict: This will almost certainly come at some point, and I feel SACD is a natural partner for upmarket Blu-ray. Of course, if you can't wait you could always buy one of these bad boys and upgrade at a later date

      Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray Player

      Review summary: Top-of-the-range and exceptionally talented, but don't expect to ogle at those Blu-ray interactive features.

      Verdict: The BDP-S500 is an exceptionally talented Blu-ray player, delivering the sort of gob-smacking picture and sound quality that movie buffs go nuts for. And barring the disappointing omission of DTS HD Master Audio support and SACD playback, the feature ...
