The BDP-S5000ES carries the cheapest price tag in the test (although no player is immune from a price hike given the volatility of the market), yet it doesn't look or feel like an inferior product. Build quality is on a par with the Denon DVD-3800BD...

The Sony BDP-S5000ES is a Blu-Ray player that sits at the upper end of the price range. Touted as being their "top-of-the-line Blu-ray Disc player" - can it live up to that description ? Whats in the box? the player itself remote control and batterie...
So if you have a large enough TV that is capable of full 1080p HD playback then you will notice the difference between upscaled DVDs and Blu-rays. Coming back to Sonys tagline of "top-of-the-line Blu-ray Disc player" - whilst Im sure that video and...

The Sony BDP-S5000ES is a large and expensive Blu-ray player with excellent picture quality and connectivity. While it offers more functionality than cheaper players, its high price tag is unjustifiable. We were startled by the Sony BDP-S5000ESs size when we first saw it. Measuring 430x351x124mm and weighing a hefty 9.9kg, this Blu-ray player is a bulky box that will stand out in anyones home theatre setup. Thats not to say it looks bad; it has a sleek black metal fascia with LED indicators...

Typical: you wait an age for a high-end player to come along, and then two break cover in the space of a month or so. Hot on the heels of Denon’s DVD-3800BD comes this, Sony’s most expensive Blu-ray player yet. Given our current economic nigh...

When it comes to the Blu-ray technology, one can quickly think of Sony since it is the company that shocked the world by revealing the Playstation 3 and its native support to playback Blu-ray discs with amazing performance compared to the other competi...
The Sony BDP-S5000ES Blu-ray disc player has just enough features to get any Blu-ray collector excited, but the performance and image quality clearly makes it one of the best players out there that come with the RS-232C input. It successfully combines...

Great audio and video playback for your Blu-ray movies and the 5 year parts and labor warranty make the S5000ES an attractive player for the home theater, though the value for money is somewhat lacking given you can achieve relatively identical perform...

Among Sonys vast array of audio/video products, a select few carry the Elevated Standard (ES) designation, which indicates the companys top-flight—and top-price—models. There are two Blu-ray player in this elite club, including the flagship BDP-S50...
I’m a bit on the fence when it comes to Sony’s new flagship design. The build quality is impeccable, and the player does a superb job with DVD and Blu-ray playback at 1080p/24. With full interactivity and advanced audio covered, this is a play...

I know what you are thinking: "Jerry - you spent $2,000 on a Blu-ray player. Are you out of your mind?" Yes, I am out of my mind, for reasons other than my willingness to spend on my home theater as if there is no recession, yet the investment in a sig...
The idea that a cheapie Blu-ray player can be the source of your top-performing theater is a flawed concept. The same factors that make your audiophile CD player sound better than the $200 store-bought one apply to Blu-ray as much as they did to top-pe...
