I bought this Blu-ray player to watch my favorite movies in HD and I'm not disappointed. I really wanted to play the Sony Blu-Ray (patented and marketed by Sony). The reader is compact, fast, simple to use, it reads well as DVD, Blu-Ray that (I have not encountered any problem reading in any medium). The image is superb (I have a Full HD TV) and I rediscovered some old movies reissued on Blu-Ray as the 1st time. There is no 3D, only difference with the BDP-S4100 but I do not want it. I recommend this player, no problem.
