Sony BDP-S1000ES Blu-ray Disc Player
Sony has released a high-end player in their low-end chassis. Sure they upgraded it a bit but gone are the old school styling and weight of the previous ES models. At the same time they threw in WiFi N which before long will be standard on all players.
What makes the BDP-1000ES better than their entry level players are three features found on the high-end players.
- Super Bit Mapping and HD Reality Enhancer
- Precision Cinema HD Upscale
- 7.1 channel analog output (dropped from the newer low-end models)
The first will tiddy up your HD video to some extend without any real ill effects often found when using similar tools from other vendors. The next allows your DVDs to appear more HD like and finally if your receiver doesn’t support HDMI audio you’ll still be able to enjoy HD audio codecs.
At roughly a $500 premium over their BDP-S360 it’s a lot of money to spent for the above features. Most will pass but for the true enthusiast it’s a great chance to get ES features at a great price.
