Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The Sony BDPSX910 handles 1080p Full HD Blu-ray and DVD playback. Its connectivity is straightforward: one HDMI output for your TV or AV receiver, plus a USB port for media files stored on a thumb drive. That keeps the setup process simple for most living room setups.', "At $318, this player sits above the typical entry-level Blu-ray price range. The 2 lb chassis is easy to place on a shelf or inside a media cabinet without worrying about weight or bulk. Sony's build quality on this generation of players tends to be durable, which likely accounts for buyers still seeking it out.", 'With 376 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, the community response is positive. Complaints at this price point often center on the lack of built-in streaming apps and the absence of 4K upscaling, which are reasonable expectations in this bracket.']
