Sony BDP-S570 Blu-Ray Review - PCWorld

 

Well designed and extremely fast to operate

Disappointing image quality

The Sony BDP-S570 looks great on paper, but in our tests its on-screen results were mixed.

Sony BDP-S570

 

With integrated Wi-Fi, plenty of interactive Web features, and future 3D support, Sony's BDP-S570 Blu-Ray player checks all the right boxes. And it's a disc-loading speed demon with excellent HD picture quality.

Excellent HD picture quality. Solid SD quality. Speedy load times. Integrated Wi-Fi. Netflix, Amazon, Slacker and YouTube streaming. Will support 3D playback via a firmware upgrade later this year. 1GB of on-board memory.

Limited front player controls. Remote control is not illuminated.

Sony BDP-S570 review

 

Editors' note : We updated this review to reflect the BDP-S570's features and streaming-video performance using the latest firmware available August 2, 2010.

Very good Blu-ray image quality; 3D Blu-ray compatible; Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora, YouTube, and Slacker media streaming; built-in Wi-Fi; fastest operational speed we've tested; SACD playback; 1GB onboard storage.

Inconsistent streaming-video performance using Wi-Fi; some very minor image quality nitpicks.

The Sony BDP-S570 has all the features of other midrange Blu-ray players, plus future 3D support and best-in-class operational speed, but its streaming-video performance over Wi-Fi is spotty.

Sony BDP-S570 Universal Blu-ray Player

 

After seeing the debut of the new Sony Blu-ray player lineup at CES this year, I was excited to get a chance to try one out. Taking its place at the top of the non-ES single-disc Blu-ray player lineup, the BDP-S570, boasts WiFi, Netflix, Pandora, and...

So we return to the original question of whether this player deservedly commands a marginal premium for its feature set. I say the answer is a resounding YES. For the price, you get a quick, high-quality, Blu-ray player that has excellent deinterlacing...

Review: Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray player

 

The Sony BDP-S570 looks great on paper, but its on-screen results in our tests were mixed.

Though the player handled detailed, color-rich images quite well, it struggled when presented with our black-and-white film and when given less detail to work with

Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray Player Reviewed

 

Sony's new BDP-S570 offers worthwhile features like integrated WiFi, DLNA streaming, and the BRAVIA Internet Video platform, plus an iPhone/iPod control app. This "3D-ready" player doesn't currently support 3D playback but will do so after a future...

The BDP-S570 is 3D-ready. A future firmware update will allow the player to transport 3D Blu-ray content to compatible TVs

The BDP-S570 lacks multichannel analog audio outputs, so it's not thebest choice for someone who owns an older, non-HDMI A/V receiver ; This player lacks an advanced control port like RS-232

The BDP-S570's 3D-readiness may be its marquee feature, but this $250Blu-ray player is also loaded with worthwhile features that you canenjoy right now. In addition to Blu-ray features like BD-Live,high-resolution audio decoding, internal memory, and...
