Sony BDP-N460 This is my first Blu-ray player, so I don’t have much to compare it to. That being said, this is a great player. Blu-ray videos have a crisp image, vibrant color, and amazing detail. Standard DVDs using upscaling technology have a noticably improved picture. I have this unit paired with a Sony Bravia 32″ LCD TV via HDMI and I really appreciate not having to manually select the video source; it switches to the Blu-ray input as soon as I turn on the player. I’ve been a Netflix subscriber for about a year now and have been watching the streaming videos through my XBox, but that requires a separate XBox Live gold membership with a $49 annual fee. Now that I can watch the same videos using the Blu-ray player at no extra cost, I won’t be renewing that membership. My only complaint, and this may be true of other players as well, is the load time for Blu-ray movies. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. As always, Amazon’s order fulfillment and delivery are top-notch.
