Blu Ray: Sony BDP-S550 vs. Samsung BD-P2500/2550?
I'm looking to buy a Blu Ray Player and have narrowed it down to two players (the Panasonic is no longer available) the Sony BDP-S550 and the Samsung BD-P2500 (or the BD-2550). Please let me know your thoughts on which one you would buy. My BIG CONCERN is that my TV does not have HDMI so I have to connect via RGB cables, and the second thing is that I have about 300 or so standard DVDs so I need a Blu Ray that will do a good job on up-converting those over the RGB cables. Thanks for your help...also when you make your recommendation please let me know why. Thanks!
If you're looking for a Blu-ray player that can do it all, check out the Sony BDP-S550 player.
It's got a ton of improvements over Sony's (and the competition's) previous models.
It can internally decode all 7.1 next-gen audio formats. This is the player that will easily let you play Dolby TrueHD as well as dtsHD Master Audio soundtracks.
It is Profile 2.0 capable right out of the box. No upgrades required (at least not right now!). With the built-in network port, upgrades are a snap.
Sony's previous players (except the 350) had slow loading times. The 550 is much quicker. You even have the option of a quick start-up mode, even faster than the default standard one which is fast enough.
Most Blu-ray players display total and elapsed time. This player also features remaining time, crucial if you want to know how much time is left on the disc.
The 550 includes a backlit remote, a real improvement if you are using your player in a darkened room.
The best feature of the 550 is its price. Although the $357.19 price tag may seem high to some, actual discounts are closer to $300-$330, which is about $50 higher than the bottom line 350 model. Considering how many extra features you get, it seems like a bargain.
If want a reasonable inexpensive Blu-ray player that can handle all your options now or in the short-term future, the Sony BDP-S550 is the one to get!
