Sony BDP-S1700U Blu-ray player with DVD upconversion

Details Compact player for your Blu-ray and DVD collection You don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get a solid-performing Blu-ray player these days. Take the Sony BDP-S1700U - my pick for the best budget-priced standard Blu-ray player of the year. If you just want a way to play Blu-ray and DVDs, this player serves up a 1080p HD picture. It won't play Ultra HD discs, but you can still expect clear, detailed picture quality on your 4K TV or HDTV.
