Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)
Customer Review: Wow! First BR player for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this as part of a special along with the 46 inch Sony BF week special. Not sure if its the TV(46V5100) or the player but was just watching Star Trek (standard DVD- not Bluray) and the upscaling was excellent. I'm sure with a true BR disc, it will be even better. I've used the same disc on a standard Sony DVD player and the resolution is no comparison. In addition, action scene was pretty smooth without pixelation. Haven't used the internet/streaming features and at present don't plan on it. There is one gripe I have about this machine and is my fault for not reading the desciption- you can stream from the internet, but in order for wifi you need a 'wifi bridge' which is NOT included. I thought this model had wifi. It would have been even better if Sony actually had wifi built in like the other BR player. Even Samsung includes a USB adapter for wifi. You can stream with ethernet connection but it would be ugly to run the Cat-5 cables along the ceiling to my office where the router is set up.
Great feature my wife loves, with Bravia sync with our 46 incher Sony BRAVIA V-Series KDL-46V5100 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black, press play and it turns on the TV with the right AV channel.
Update 12/20:
WOW, @?!@#$?>&$* can you say awesome!!!!! Just got the Trendnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter from Amazon TRENDnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter-Black (TEW-647GA) (V1.0R)(goldbox deal special - for $29.99 you ROCK Jeff B!!!!!) and connected to the player to get streaming Netflix!! Setting it up a pain at first from the BR player end, where I tried to use the Wireless bridge option and the player wouldnt connect so I had to chose the wired option under the menu (yes, it is still a wireless setup - just how the Sony connects to the bridge in the menu selection was 'wired' rather than 'wireless') and then it worked like a charm. I have a Linksys wireless router running G, not N, and streaming Netflix/youtube I did not get any hiccups, saw The Matrix Revolution - please be aware, if you are expecting HD streaming quality, forget about it, its more comparable to DVD quality - I was blown away with it still, given that it was wireless streaming and not a direct ethernet connection. (granted not the same as BluRay quality).
I wanted to buy the apple airport express for its smaller footprint but $30 vs $99 .... you decide. The trendnet is actually pretty small by itself.
Setting up Netflix was somewhat painful too (I'm a low maintence person) because you had to register online with Sony, run to the PC, with a code the BR player gives you, then run back to the player, then run to the pc to logon to Netflix with another code to activate your account (yes, I could have all done it if I had my laptop).
Despite these issues its still a 5 star product as setup was not difficult but more time consuming in terms of the need for PC/internet access as well instead of doing everything all from the BluRay player.
If the world was perfect, I would say forget about owning media (DVD, BR, HDDVD, SD, MC, Hammer) just stream HD content through Netflix. Listen up Hollywood - this is the future. Pay a monthly fee and watch any movie in high-def streamed to your home. If you want to talk about 'GREEN', this is the way to go, no disc, no packaging to waste. Nada...you leave behind nothing.

Can you saw Netflix ROCKS!!!
We actually don't use the player to watch BR discs but just standard DVD. Anyhow, even though I have the discs in the queue to be mailed out from Netflix, I've been streaming Lost Season 5 throught Netflix instead and its AMAZING. It actually streams in HD and the picture quality is great matched with the Sony Bravia 46 incher without any lag in the stream, very smooooooth. BTW, as I've mentioned earlier, I'm streaming this through wireless (using a 'bridge') with 802G (and not N or a direct ethernet connection). The streaming quality is very smooth. This is definitely the future and Netflix got a handle on this form of delivery. Why own when you can just watch when ever you want. Yes, you can probably do the same with the cable/satellite pay per view, but with Netflix, you watch what you want (although right now limited library for 'watch it now'), when you want, and how you want without paying fees for each individual movie. You just pay one flat monthly fee. This is the best model. Word of caution - not all their library is in HD but even DVD quality is not bad.
Can you do it all this with the Ps3 - probably, but I dont own one so couldnt tell ya. Own a 360. Next stop streaming netflix onto the 360 (waiting for the bridge to go onsale again)
