On a hunch I attached a 23" HDMI wide-screen (16:9) 1920x1080 monitor to this and it works PERFECTLY. My Acer monitor was designed for a PC, so this was a very pleasant surprise! After watching several DVD's and a half-dozen Blu-Rays over the last month... DVD's look/play terrific and Blu-Ray disks kick-A!!! Fantastic image and sound quality on this ~$50 (used) compact device!!!! But, here's why I gave this system 4 out of 5 stars: The design and layout of the buttons on the remote leave a lot to be desired. Play/pause/forward/reverse/ / are all the same size and black color! They all look and feel the same in a dark theater environment, so I'm always pressing the wrong button! If you require reading glasses you better keep 'em handy!! It does take 2xAA batteries, though. Rechargeables work just fine. Finally, the BDP-S185 has one flaw that really bugs me. Volume control on the remote bypasses the RCA audio out ports! You have absolutely NO control over audio levels in this configuration. You must control volume from your own audio system! Really, Sony?!?! I do not connect to the internet with this gizmo so I cannot review those features. This has NOT hindered me from watching any DVD's or Blu-Ray's, however.Read full review
I got this little machine for my wife to play videos in her small classroom. I put the HDMI cable to a Samsung computer monitor and the AUX output to a set of computer speakers. After it was set up it all ran perfectly and the audio was in sync with the video and the quality of picture and sound was very good. This is with all older used equipment. Happy Wife.
Verified purchase: No
This is a great little Blu-Ray Player. The primary reason I bought it is that unlike Samsung and LG players this Sony player will handle AVCHD discs with 1080p60 AVC video. This is the output I get from my Panasonic DMC-FZ150 camera and most blu-ray players can only handle 1080p24 and 1080i formats. The player does very well on USB material - plays anything I've got, and of course standard blu-rays play fine including BD-Rs. What I don't like about the product is twofold - it has no slow motion capability; you can freeze frame and then move forward frame by frame, but there's no slow motion I can find. The second major fault is that it only supports coax digital audio out, there's no optical digital audio output.
Works as advertised. Fast free delivery and easy set-up. Purchased this since I get faster connections speeds through an ethernet connection as opposed to WIFI. I currently have both Amazon prime and Netflix. Tried to watch a Netflix movie but I did not get a fast connection, so I switched to Amazon to watch the same movie without a pause or spooling interruption. Still trying to figure out if there is a way to 'Shuffle' my stations on Pandora, the way I can on the computer. But overall this solved my connection problems and to receive HD video and high quality stereo audio fed directly into my audio system for great music as well as movie sound, even when I turn off the TV.
I purchased both the newly updated 13" MacBook Air and the updated 13" MacBook Pro the day they were announced at WWDC and released for sale in June 2012. After using the two machines side-by-side for a couple weeks now, I can say that the MacBook Air offers superior performance in virtually every respect to such a degree that I've pretty much stopped using my brand new MacBook Pro. Of course the Air (which I got factory upgraded to the 2.0 GHz i7 processor and 8GB of RAM) is lighter, slimmer, and sleeker than the Pro, and yes, it does have a much higher resolution display, but I was surprised just how much faster the MacBook Air is compared to the Pro is despite the Air's slower CPU clock speed. The SSD hard drive on the MacBook Air makes an enormous difference in everything from casual web browsing to video editing.
