The Sony BDP-S550 offers excellent image quality and a solid feature set, but consider it only if you need multichannel analog outputs.
Abstract: The Sony BDP-S550 is priced reasonably at $500 and it's widely available. Though it's far from a limited edition, its quality in its presentation may knock the PS3 off the block as the raining king of Blu-ray. It meets the latest Blu-ray model requirement...
Awesome picture quality, whether upscaling or direct from Bluray disc.

Abstract: 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..
The BDP-S550 is one of the best non-professional Blu Ray disc players on the market. Both audio and video outputs are high quality, and the number of output connections is unequaled in this class. When coupled with a good HDTV and surround system, you ...
