Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony BDP-S1 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Customer Review: 1080P Quality really worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
About two months ago, I bought my Sony Bravia XBR2 46 Inch 1080P TV Set. Last Saturday, after some research (between HD and Blu-Ray), I decided to make jump I got my Blu-Ray Player. Now the big question was selecting between this model and the BDP-S300. First, I went to the web and checked Sony's page, afterwards, checked here and look at the comments posted. Trust me it was not easy at all, but decided to get this model. So, I bought it, took it home, hooked it up, and took a look at my first movie. It was not a Blu-Ray movie, instead, I watched Scarface. I could not believe how clear this movie was! Simply Superb! Then, I decided to watch a Blu-Ray movie, The Fifth Element; SWEET!! Simply Sweet. I strongly suggest this item, it's money well spent. If you got a 1080P TV, and you paid that extra money for it, then Blu-Ray is a must. You will see TV as it was ment to be watched. Don't trust what I say here, just see it for yourself!Customer Review: BLU-RAY IS HERE TO STAY!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I now own a SONY BDP-S1 Bluray player. It was worth the wait. This is a well built machine, very similar to the TOSHIBA HD-A1 in quality and workmanship (see my review of the TOSHIBA). It has added features such as customized video controls (color, brightness,contrast, hue, etc). The quality of the Blue-ray movies is just as good as the HDDVD discs. The early reports of substandard picture quality may have been due to the first SAMSUNG Blueray players which had some bugs which were resolved with a recent firmare update.I have also tested the SAMSUNG player, and it has excellent picture and sound quality, but I preferred the SONY because of its better built frame and features, and thus, the higher price.Regarding the uncompressed PCM 5.1 channel sound option in the Blueray movies, if you can connect the SONY player to your receiver via 6 channel individual RCA connectors, you will enjoy the most spectacular sound.Customer Review: "Outstanding" Machine, "Reference Quality" Blu-ray Player
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't believe the negative reviews around here. If people are harping about the price, then they don't own the machine and have no business reviewing it.
One of the top AV review sites calls it "Outstanding" and says that it is a "Reference Quality" player. I own this machine and I agree. Picture quality is outstanding, as is the audio quality.
I was in Best Buy the other day and they were using this machine to display the airplane rescue sequence from "Superman Returns" on a 60" display. It was phenomenal and it was catching the attention of everyone that walked by.
Blu-ray is delivering on quality, plus it has the most support of major hardware manufacturers and the most support from the movie studios. It will be around long after HD DVD fades from memory.
Customer Review: Blu Ray is the Real Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting to get a Blu Ray player for a while. After looking at the available models I decided to wait for the Sony BDP-S1. I have had good luck with Sony in the past so I figured I would go with what I know.
I am really glad I did. The PQ is amazing. I didn't think I could get a picture so clear. I have a Sony KLV-V40A10 LCD flat screen. It is only a 1080I but when using the BDP-S1 it is so clear and sharp, its amazing.
I have watched several movies with no lock ups or any other problems. In fact I haven't had the player do anything it isn't suppose to do.
The load time is a little slow. There is a slight delay when giving commands but this is a new tecnology so I don't really have a problem with the few little quirks. The good far out weights the bad.
Customer Review: Flawless Video and Audio Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the BDP-S1 for 2 days now. I can't stop watching Monster House. The picture quality on my 1080i HDTV is just spellbounding. I hooked it up to my Onkyo THX home theater in a box with an optical cable and the sound is crystal clear. This product really takes you to a whole new level. The visual clarity is like walking outside on a perfect blue sky day. I see no flaws in the image even with a 1080i TV. Really can't get better than this, at least hopefully not for a few years when I can convince my wife to let me upgrade again.
