Sony BDP-S1200

A great-value Blu-ray deck that's ideal for the bedroom

Distinctive design ; Strong pictures ; Slick operation

Sparse connectivity ; Limited features ; Needs more catch-up TV apps

Sony’s cracking little entry-level player delivers dazzling Blu-ray pictures and a tasty range of web content, all from a compact, stylish box that’s perfect for the bedroom.

Sony BDP-S1200 review

Great Blu-ray but no Wi-Fi

Amazon Instant Video & Netflix ; Great Blu-ray images ; Digital file compatibility ; Small size

Ageing user interface ; Too many apps ; No 3D support ; No WiFi

While apps are welcome, this basic Sony deck doesn't cater for 3D Blu-ray playback and lacks WiFi. However if your router isn't near the telly, the BDP-S1200's excellent Blu-ray images and digital file playback over USB both impress.

great for netflix...

really liked my last Panasonic bd player, but it did not do Netflix, so I changed to this one. already had a wire running to the area I needed it, so the fact that this rig is not wireless doesn't bother me. had this thing a little over a month, and...

upconverts dvd's pretty good. Netflix looks fantastic. audio can go thru separate output other than just hdmi. remote controls tv power and volume. TONS of online content, more than you'll ever get to. price! got this somewhere else for just under 70...

certain remote buttons are kinda small and hard to see in dark. dvd's sound cannot be heard when running at 2x speed. it is not a wireless internet connection.

Small and Effective!

I waited a few months before reviewing but I've never had an issue with this player. I've used it to play CD, DVD, and Blu-rays with zero issues. I haven't hooked it up to the internet so I cannot speak to any of those features. GREAT price, small...
