Sony BDP-S1700U Turns DVDs Into Near-HD with Budget Upscaling
Sony's budget BDP-S1700U Blu-ray/DVD player ($114.99) upscales standard DVDs to near-1080p (not 4K) using Sony's Super Scaler with TRILUMINOS color, while delivering native 1080p on Blu-rays, plus USB playback and Ethernet for firmware updates—offering a simple, offline-friendly way to revive a physical media library as streaming costs rise.
