Overview
An enclosed disc drive and I/P noise reduction work to clean up the picture while the player spins Blu-ray, three-D and DVD discs. Built-in Wi-Fi opens streaming apps, and TV SideView lets a phone or tablet browse and control it.
Disc playback, three-D and a large app library come in one compact box with wireless networking. Output stops at Full HD and there is only one HDMI port, so it suits a standard HD setup more than a ultra HD system.
Who it's for
Living rooms with an HD TV and a shelf of Blu-ray and DVD discs get disc and streaming duty from one box. Owners of ultra HD TVs chasing the sharpest picture need a ultra HD player.
Pros and cons
- Built-in Wi-Fi for streaming apps
- Plays 3D Blu-ray discs
- Converts 2D to 3D
- Phone control with TV SideView
- Full HD only, no UHD discs
- Single HDMI output
- Dimensions not clearly listed
Performance notes
Picture quality is bound by the Full HD output, with noise reduction cleaning up interlaced sources. Streaming smoothness rides on your Wi-Fi signal strength at the TV. Lossless audio formats pass to a receiver over the single HDMI link.
