Abstract: WHEN it came down to video quality, Sonys BDP-S350 Blu-ray player did the best job of upscaling DVD content on a high-definition TV, and delivered noticeably better video than our regular DVD player. Its main benefit is that it can play high-definiti...
Limited media format support; Expensive against the competition

Unreliable streaming bit rate; laggy interface; frustrating remote control; incompatibility issues with various movie file formats; only streams from Media Center-compatible PCs.
