Sony BDP-S360

I had been looking around for a while for a new Blu ray player and had initially wanted to stay with Samsung for the superb picture quality.
But having read positive reviews of this player on a good few sites and the good price I opted to go for this one.

The unit is nice and compact and looks high quality. Plugged the HDMI lead (not supplied# into this and the TV, a patch cable #not supplied# to my router and a memory stick #not supplied) for BD Live features. The setup process was straight forward and done in minutes. You need the internet connection and external storage if you want to use the BD Live on some disks. Also the memory stick socket is in the back so it's just as well to put one in when setting up, they recommend 1GB minimum.

Without any further setting up the Samsung TV and Sony player recognised each other and as soon as the disk went in the TV switched input and displayed up 1080p 24fps. Also you can program the Sony remote to work the on/off and volume on most mainstream TV brands so you can leave the TV remote on the shelf.

Watched a few films so far and the detail/definition is WOW, as good as they make it out to be, I have not felt compelled to fiddle with any settings at all.
The level of detail on buildings on sweeping landscape scenes and close up shots of peoples faces is incredible.
CGI animation such as Star Wars - The Clone Wars is so defined, no fuzzy edges also just as impressive.

Worth every penny if you have shelled out for a HDTV!
