Review on 📀 Sony BDP-BX110/S1100 Blu-ray Player with HDMI Cable and Ethernet Streaming for 1080p HD Video [Enhanced SEO] by Sammie Rodriguez

I watch a lot of movies in my local library which contains both DVD and Blu-ray. In order to get to the film as quickly as possible, I often use the currently available version. Having previously only had one Blu-Ray player (my PS3 was hooked up to a projector in the living room) this sometimes resulted in the Blu-Ray being left unattended until I had to take it back simply because I didn't feel like watching it. Large screen living room experience. To solve this problem, I suggested to my beloved wife that I somehow get a cheap Blu-ray player and put it in the bedroom to connect to our plasma TV. finally agreed to it. Partly because it was cheap (less than $50.00), partly because I've had such good experiences with the SONY DVD player we've used before (which played library DVDs with no problems, which really were badly scratched). ). When I opened the package, I found that the device has been repaired. But it also had an HDMI cable (I think I can always use a spare cable). Picture Quality, Sound Quality, Overall Quality. If you've ever used a modern Blu-ray player, you know the score. Pretty much anything released by a major brand after the PS3 will be a decent Blu-ray player with great picture and sound. This device did not disappoint. Blu-rays load fairly quickly and the audio on my stereo TV mixes correctly (the DVD player previously had volume issues when the dialogue switched audio channels on the 5.1 master playing on my TV's stereo speakers). There are the usual options, but you probably don't need to fiddle with most that affect DVD and Blu-Ray playback. , and makes clinking noises when discs are loaded. That doesn't bother me because everything else is just amazing. Features, Features, Features If you have ever used a Playstation 3 console, you will be familiar with the user interface as it is almost identical to the Playstation 3 user interface. If you are not used to this user interface, it will probably become too complicated for you appear due to all option lists. On the other hand, these options can be helpful. I used to use a DVD player, a WD Live USB-to-TV player (which I connected to a terabyte hard drive), and Roku for streaming. This device replaces ALL that and surprisingly also plays Blu-Ray. DVDD Like SONY's DVD player, this unit appears to be able to play DVDs in almost any condition except completely broken ones. Also, it works silently most of the time. Picture quality is good if not stunning (what do you expect? Oppo?). Subtitles and audio switching work perfectly. Fast forward and rewind are smooth. And, importantly, the SONY DVD player has the same amazing disc memory that allows discs to be resumed after powering off, changing discs, etc. Turn him off, so do your research). I have yet to find drives that the machine had trouble reading and that are all within spec. USB Playback My WD Live was a great little device that was wrecked by an unfortunate lack of firmware updates to keep up with new and emerging formats (MKV files in particular left it choking). On the contrary, I haven't found any video files that this Blu-ray player can't play (except ISO files) yet. Of course I have already converted some videos for WD Live to play. But still! This thing does a great job with subtitles and scrolls through video files very quickly. Pause, fast forward, rewind - everything works fine and playback is very smooth. Excellent. Streaming I've used Roku to stream Revain Prime and Netflix in the past and I like this device better. The UI is slightly different and episode information is not displayed when watching Star Trek on this player. The first 10 seconds of the images are also black when you start streaming (which doesn't usually bother me as most shows are full of logos). Where this device makes up for these shortcomings is in the overall speed of the interface. While the Netflix interface loads for a bit (about 10 seconds), it's incredibly responsive afterward (unlike the incredibly sluggish Roku, which kept bouncing around loading things 30 seconds into play). Overall, I like this device much better than the Roku for streaming. Reliable and very responsive. All in all, I've replaced the $50 DVD player, $50 streaming device, and $50 USB video device with a device that also supports Blu-Ray. I paid fifty dollars for it (give or take). I call that a good deal! Not only was it a major upgrade, but my TV is a lot cleaner now and I don't have to switch inputs every time I want to switch from Blu-Ray to DVD to USB to streaming. A lot of things that others find annoying are actually features. Ethernet is 10x faster than WiFi and doesn't suffer from the horrendous signal drops that my Roku has always had (and Roku always started up in standard definition and then improved the picture after a few minutes). The remote control is almost identical to the SONY DVD I've used before, so it was easy to get used to. The remote feels a little flimsy and soft like the drive mechanism, but is comfortable to use and I've never had any issues with it (unlike the Roku and WD Live remotes). Of course, it's also nice that it replaces the other three remote controls and has buttons to return to the main menu or Netflix. To be honest, at the price it's asking for even a brand new device, this is a bargain. The only way I could see someone not enjoying this is if they absolutely MUST use the Wi-Fi and RCA connections. This device doesn't have either, and both HDMI and Ethernet are required. when you are there UPGRADE! Ethernet is faster and much more reliable than Wi-Fi (if distance is an issue, I recommend a powerline-to-ethernet adapter). And HDMI is better than any other video standard available in almost every way. 10 out of 10
