Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
Best cinema system, Awards 2012. Looks and sounds every bit the all-in-one answer to home cinema on a budget
Compact design, looks smart ; 3D, wireless, iPlayer, on-demand movies ; easily wall-mountable rear speakers ; detailed, cohesive sound ; great pictures
Given everything it does and the price, we’re struggling to find fault
Best cinema system, Awards 2012. A hugely competitive system that looks and sounds every bit the all-in-one answer to home cinema on a budget

Sony has thought of pretty much everything with the BDV-N590. Style and substance combine with some clever usability features to make a staggeringly compelling product for the money.
Loud and clear sound, Clean images, Curvaceous design

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Awesome value for money, only minutes to set up with auto calibration! Simply plug in the jack, set calibration device in seating position and press ok! Calibrates with a series of tones to each speaker and was spot on! I adjusted the front and center...
User manual could be a little more informative but as its interface is really easy to navigate through this was only a minor point.

Looks good
Insufficient volume, cannot get it to go that loud. Does not sync that well with other products. When playing external sources through it there is a delay of about 5 seconds until the sound kicks in.
