I bought this Blu Ray player as I wanted to watch DVD's in the same glorious HD as SKY HD, but also because I wanted an upscaling DVD player for non-HD DVD's. I had previously tried a Philips upscaling player, but was very disappointed with the performance, which was barely better than my standard, non-HDMI DVD player, so took it back for a refund. The Sony BDP-S350 however is a totally different animal. Firstly, It looks good, with it's metallic blue front, which automatically flips open and closed when a disc is inserted or ejected. Boot-up time on some Blu Ray players has been an issue, but on the Sony it is as quick as any standard player. Connections are via an HDMI cable, there is also a optical output for excellent Dolby 5.1, via the necessary hardware. Blu Ray picture quality is tremendous, possibly slightly better than SKY HD, which is very impressive anyway. Up-scaling of all your old DVD's is also mightily impressive, giving maximum resolution of 1080p. There are many user-settings you can adjust to suit your personal preferences. These things are now available at around £170, which is becoming reasonable, especially as there are hundreds of Blu ray films available on-line, and on ebay much cheaper than on the high street. If you have an HD TV, but do not want to pay monthly for SKY HD, this player will give you that HD fix, along with re-vitalising your old movies.
