It doesn't make sense to buy a little box to stream apps if i could also buy a blu ray player and do the same thing. Are there more perks that come with a roku? Is there better quality with a roku? I wouldn't mind having a blu ray player looking at the whole package, but i mostly just want to use it for netflix.


Answer
Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black) s is a awesome Streamer/Bluray/DVD player. I haven't experienced any issues whatsoever playing back Bluray disks. Boot times are very good with the disks I tested. Everything played back perfectly with stunning picture quality. However, I really purchased this player for its streaming abilities. Sony players were dinged in the past for a poor Netflix experience. Sony have fixed this with a updated Netflix interface that supports 1080p and Dolby Digital+ streams.

Can picture quality differ between different blu ray players?

Could one blu ray player look much better than the other or are all blu ray players pretty much the same when it comes to playing blu rays? I know they differ in apps and such, but I just want great picture quality and wanted to know if some players might look bad.


Answer
Yes, every Blu-ray player will give you a different overall image due to their color decoders, video processors, de-interlacing capabilities (when needed), power supplies, etc. Even if you play the same Blu-ray movie in all of them, in theory they all suppose to reproduce a slightly different image (at least). This is considering different brands. But if you're worried about "bad quality" with Blu-ray movies, I doubt you would be disappointed. Let's not forget that Blu-ray movies are mastered in native HD, usually 1080p or sometimes 1080i to 720p. What this means is that your image will be crystal clear 100% of the time with all or most players. And ofcourse, resolution doesn't guarantee anyone the right color reproduction, temperature, shadow detail, etc, etc. It is up to the user to choose the best possible player and adjust all the settings, from the player to the display. Some good players to consider: SONY PS3, Most Panasonic models, and all OPPO players. Good luck.
