I have long wondered whether there is such a visually serious difference between DVD and Blu-Ray, but made up my mind to diverse research for the Sony BDP-S380. I was very pleasantly surprised not only at anschaeuen a Blue Ray, the hochscalierung to 1080p at normal DVD's and my self-burned DVD's made me literally hewn from a stool entirely new visual experience !!! The player completely silent, has to offer an amazingly diverse Internet offer, so strong buy recommendation !!!!!!!
