Could anyone advise my which blu-ray player is better?

Theres not a lot of info on the Sony's specs, I would say from those 2 spec sheets the Samsung would be better. From the research I have done in the past you have to be careful which Samsung model you get, some are better then others, but Sony's in general usually all have good reviews. I think I would still recommend the Samsung, it's a little more money but you get what you pay for
