The device takes over comparative devices soon only half the volume and size of a, the weight also much less. The 29er grid is certainly not straightforward to integrate in all cases in a system, it will still look chic. The limitation is the aesthetics. Without buttons or display on the front will light up more eyes, frown as eyebrows. Who needs it and who provides particular displays when playing anyway always out to get rid of the annoying Illumination? At the top there are few discreet buttons that I will probably never use. The remote control has a very good, thankfully, a disk eject button and unnecessary operation on the device completely.
Connections offers the player the extent you really need. HDMI, coaxial digital - that should be enough for almost any user. For all others, there are still analog video and sound. Front still sits a USB beech, which swallows the most common video and audio formats from USB sticks. Unfortunately, no MOV movies can be played. The videos of my Sony NEX-3 remain on the sidelines again. This would be a mild criticism on the device, which assigns here an opportunity to integrate all Sony devices. How much would this license at extra cost? Maybe two euros? Now that would have been still in it in the budget.
3D makes this device outside before, for me anyway, but not an issue. Who wear the uncomfortable, unsuitable for eyeglass wearers shutter glasses a night, and would like to do with it for fruit, this should do. The visual impression of a 3D movie screen can not be reached at home, where surely an effect, but certainly not an illusion setting. Who wants this now have already permitted to invest several tens of thousands, or stay on the carpet.
The operating noise is not nearly half criticism. Who wants it silently, playing his movies on the USB stick. Otherwise joins when playing an audible menus and the film leader (previously only tested BluRay) a hum to the sound. Depending on the movie, this is overlaid by our own sound anyway, the film ran away for a few minutes, the device no longer falls on and is also critical Höhrern recommended. High-end enthusiasts with a preference for classical concert anyway choose another technique must therefore look elsewhere (though very long, because loudness is almost all BluRay Spie Lernd unfortunately the rule, not the exception).
The image quality eludes me the comparison with other players. On a 42-inch TV, it just looks great and is no comparison with otherwise good DVD presentation of the previous (good) Panasonic DVD player. The difference is striking. When watching "Chronicles of Narnia" fell on artefacts, Schlieren, tearing, color reduction in areas or anything at any point. The scrolling was fantastic soft thanks 24p playback. Put here other devices still something on it? Perhaps, or even safe. If this medium on display size and viewing distance sufficient to also? Since you should be careful and self-critical. In any case, the television-quality setting and evaluates (!!!) the picture significantly up or down - often more than it is capable of playback devices. Who has a good TV set, is this little Sony have joy.
In that regard, so are the Sony BDP-S186 (equal to the 185 which is only black instead of silver) no cause for criticism. Given the price range is ruled out in so balanced quality of each bleating. Since this is not necessary not even know there is the top grade 1 with asterisks. So easy.
PS: BD-Live and Internet Streminger provides the device, but have not been tested. Like to do, who wants this please. I only need a player, no PC replacement.
