Sony BDP-S5100
Sony's impressive Blu-ray deck boasts superb features and sublime pictures
Sublime HD pictures ; Slick operating system ; Excellent feature list
No DivX support and won't stream MKV ; No 4K upscaling or second HDMI ; Needs more catch-up TV apps
There’s a single HDMI v1.4 output – two would have been nice at this price, but that’s reserved for the S790. It’s joined by a coaxial digital audio output, Ethernet port and a second USB port. On cheaper models the latter would be used to connect a...

Sony BDP-S5100 review
The design-led Sony BDP-S5100 is a smart Blu-ray player that demands your attention
Appealing and compact design ; Vivid Blu-ray images ; Useful apps and features
Just one HDMI ; 2D-to-3D conversion ; Impractical form factor

Sony BDP-S5100
Best Blu-ray player £100-£150, Awards 2013. Thanks to the great picture and awesome sound quality, Sony's BDP-S5100 is a top budget buy
Clean, sharp images ; Impressive detail in dark scenes ; Punchy colours ; Nice to use ; Eye-catching design
Nothing of note
If the BDP-S5100 is any indication of what’s to come, 2013 could be a bumper year for Sony’s Blu-ray players. This has all the hallmarks of a class-leading machine.

Sony Blu-ray player makes decent alternative to streaming boxes
The Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Super Wi-Fi offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
The ; is a compact powerhouse with a wide variety of streaming services; image quality is mostly excellent, even with streaming content; good upscaling of DVDs.
The disk drawer seems flimsy; DLNA streaming isn't as slick as you get from some competitors; 3:2 pull-down performance isn't as smooth as on the Panasonic BDT230; Super Wi-Fi didn't provide better streaming in our tests; no analog outputs.
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.

Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray Player
Sony didn't go back and reinvent the Blu-ray player with the BDP-S5100. They stuck with their successful formula and have what is a minor upgrade to the BDP-S590 from last year. The new design certainly looks nice, though I do have a couple of...

Sony BDPS5100B
Easy to install and use. Lower ranking on the sound quality because a good quality sound device is needed. If connected only to the TV the sound is similar to the one from normal TV. Very good image quality

Sony BDPS5100B
Superb design that compliments by living room decor and great feature set from audio outputs to good video output.
The on-screen navigation menu for online services appears quite over complicated but could be improved upon in future software updates. As this is not a service I use particularly often it's not a problem.
