The BDP-S4500 is third in Sony's Blu-ray player pecking order behind the top-end BDP-S6500 and BDP-S5500, the latter earning glowing praise in our recent review. It lacks the headline features found on the top two models, such as Wi-Fi, 4K upscaling...
Good range of internet apps ; Fast, attractive operating system ; Plays FLAC and MKV via network
Lacks Wi-Fi ; Lightweight build

Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The Sony BDP-S4500 is a mid-range Blu-ray player which can play 3D Blu-ray discs and offers smart-TV apps, such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix. It's similar to Sony's BDP-S5500, but lacks that model's wi-fi and screen mirroring. We liked its compact size...
Expert review by : S21 (s21.com)
The BDP-S4500 is Sony's cheapest 3D Blu-Ray player for 2015. It also includes support for Smart TV via an ethernet cable, although there's no Wi-Fi option.
The Sony BDP-S4500 adds 3D capability to the entry-level BDP-S1500. You should choose this option f you want to watch 3D disks - otherwise the BDP-S1500 is the cheaper option. Note that neither of these models supports Wi-Fi connectivity.

Small and powerful. Love that it streams, too.
Would be slightly better to have it wireless.
