Sony is one of the originators of the Blu-ray format and has likely sold more players than any other company thanks to their PlayStation 3 game console. Their past players had been very well-regarded when released, but when I put them through the new Secrets of Home Theater HDMI Benchmark last year their performance was less than stellar. Now that they have had a year to correct those issues, they have released the BDP-Sx90 line of players, and I tested the Sony BDP-S590.

Following the same general plan of the 570 and 580 players, the Sony BDP-S590 has loads of streaming content, integrated WiFi, and even support for SACD discs. Of course none of this matters if the image isn’t up to the task, and here Sony has taken the criticism we leveled on it and managed to deliver a much improved player. To see just how much it has improved, the full review is over at Secrets of Home Theater for you to read today.
