We like:
Picture quality
We don't like:
Dull looks; far too expensive; so-so DVD upscaling; rubbish remote
You might also need:
HDMI cable, HD Ready TV
CNET.co.uk judgement:
£1,100 is far too expensive for this at the moment, but look beyond the price and dreary styling and you've got the best Blu-ray player on the market. True, it's only the second -- but the picture quality with certain discs is stunning
