Sony BDP-S350 review
http://whathifi.com/Review/Sony-BDP-S350/
For
Breathtaking Blu-ray playback; excellent DVD upscaling; solid, punchy, dynamic sound
Against
No onboard decoding of DTS-HD Master Audio
Real clarity to the image
Obviously, picture performance is our major concern, and you’ll be glad to know that the Sony excels. With Blu-ray discs, the BDP-S350 delivers detail, crisply defined edges and smooth motion. There’s a real clarity to the image that similarly priced players can’t muster.
Cars’ three-dimensional landscapes look stunning. The Sony digs out every last ounce of detail during darker moments such as the explosive tunnel scene from Die Hard 4.0.
With DVD playback, it’s one of the best upscaling Blu-ray players we’ve come across. Play a few chapters of Spiderman 3 and it’s the clarity of image and lack of noise that impresses the most.
Sonically, the Sony’s solid, controlled, punchy approach to Blu-ray soundtracks is hugely entertaining. The BDP-S350 isn’t even fazed with CD playback. Considering you’re listening to a Blu-ray player, the Sony sounds rhythmic, composed and detailed.
Granted, the Sony might not tick all the feature boxes, but if you and simply desire an entry-level Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 is perfect.

Sony BDP-S350 vs.Panasonic DMP-BD50

So, which player wins the showdown? For video performance, if you are only going to play 1080p movies that are film based, it’s a toss up. They both provide the best HDTV images I have seen on any player. If you plan to play DVDs and 1080i videos and programs, the overall edge goes to the Panasonic.
The audio side raises another issue. If you have an older 5.1 surround sound (SS) receiver or pre/processor with analog audio inputs, you’ll want to choose the Panasonic with its 5.1 lossless audio outputs. If you have a recent SS receiver with 1.3 HDMI and Dolby TRUEHD/DTS HD the Sony will provide “lossless” surround sound audio.
Last, if you want a full-featured freestanding Blu-ray player today, the Panasonic is the only one available until Sony’s promised a 2.0 profile firmware upgrade in the “near future”.
