Sony BDP-S550 Blu-Ray Player

Having decided to upgrade to a Blu-Ray player, I spent a few weeks researching the market to see exactly what was out there. I assumed that all Blu-Ray players would give similar picture & sound results and, not needing all the bells & whistles, I was originally attracted to the budget ranges but how wrong I was!! Compared to the sub £200 Samsung and Tesco's own models, the Sony BDP-S550 is in a different league giving a far superior picture and great sound. I also rate it better than other models I tested that were more expensive. I have a 50" LG plasma TV and the picture is superb. In fairness, the Sony BDP-S350 is almost as good and I was tempted to go for that model until I saw a fantastic bargain on E-Bay, complete with a selection of Blu-Ray discs to start my collection, which I just couldn't resist! All in all, I would most certainly recommend this machine to anyone - even if you are on a tight budget like I was, it is worth scraping up a few extra pennies!!
