A competent player with decent audio quality and some cool customisation options, but the screen is too small and navigation can be slow-going.

If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.
