Up for review: The Sony BDP-S35 Blu-ray Disc Player. If you have recently purchased a new HDTV, the next step is to upgrade to a Blu-ray player.  After stomping out HDDVD, there shouldn’t be any apprehension about which format to upgrade to.

The Sony BDP-S35 is Sony’s entry-level Blu-ray disc player but is packed with features.  The first thing that stands out is its very slim size compared to most Blu-ray players.  The BDP-S35 is cheaper than most standalone players and is missing a few features that the more expensive players have like Profile 2.0.  For most viewers, this isn’t a huge deal and may be available in the future with a firmware upgrade.

With its discount price, the very reputable c|net has proclaimed the Sony BDP-S35 as the best standalone Blu-ray player in its price range.  It’s compact size gives the appearance of a regular DVD player compared to other standalone Blu-ray players that are typically much bigger than a regular DVD player.

The BDP-S35 is BD-Live ready which means you can’t currently access the extra features on BD-Live but after a firmware upgrade, this player will be capable of doing so.  The extra features on BD-Live can be fun but definitely not required.

You can still watch your old DVD’s on the Sony BDP-S35 and they display very well.  Overall, the HD video, DVD video and audio of the BDP-S35 Blu-ray player is fantastic compared to its competition.

Key Features:

  • F1080/60p Full HD Output
  • 24p True Cinema Video Output
  • DVD Upscaling
  • Dimensions: 17 x 8.8 x 2.4 inches ; 6.4 pounds
