Excellent Blu-ray image quality, 7.1-channel analog output, BD-Live ready

USB port can't be used for playing media, DVD upscaling makes edges fuzzy

The Sony BDP-S550 is a good product but its relatively high cost means that unless you need the 7.1-channel analog output the competition offers better value.

Attractive styling ; great Blu-ray picture ; good upscaler ; easy to use ; price

Excellent HDTV picture with 24p support., HD sound as a bitstream-output., BD-Live functionality., Analog 7.1-channel audio.

DVD de-interlacing doesn’t always work., No DTS-HD decoder., No MP3 playback.

We liked the full video adjustment options, BD-Live capabilities (with a supplied memory stick), and optional quick-start function. Overall, an excellent performance, but we would like to have seen better DVD movie playback, and support for MP3 music...

Awesome picture quality, whether upscaling or direct from Blu-ray disc.

The remote controlisn't exactly in keeping with the aesthetics.
