No one wants to pay for the DVD player when it’s off, right? While electronics are great they can get pretty pricey, especially when it comes to paying for the energy bills and their impact on the environment. That’s why the general trend in “green electronics” has focused in large part on reducing the amount of energy these devices consume, especially the wasted energy they use when they’re off. That’s why Sony’s Blu-ray player is in our green category. Sony has made the BDP-S350 more energy efficient, even when it’s not supposed to be using energy.

Standout Features

  • .3 watts when it’s off
  • Dolby TrueHD and bit stream output for high resolution audio
  • Ethernet port for quick and easy updates

Sony has the Take Back and recycle program that makes it easy for you to take your Sony products to a recycling center and get it taken care of for free. In fact, Sony has committed itself to green and helping you recycle old electronics – they’ve even recycled their old commercials to remind you to recycle your electronics.

Energy Consumption:   Excellent

As far as Blu-ray players go, there’s not much room for cutting down and making them more eco-friendly. But Sony has definitely done their best to make the Sony BDP-S350 more energy efficient – one of the best in the market – by consuming only .3 watts when it’s off. So no more monkeywrenching to try to protect the environment or save energy.

Product Features:   Excellent

Sometimes the best way to go green is keeping what you have and not buying the new gadgets. But with ever changing and improving technology, especially in the world of video, if you want to upgrade, the Sony BDP-S350 is a good route to go. With great picture quality and HDMI port that supports 1080p you’ve got great picture quality.

Summary:  

The Sony BDP-S350 is a great Blu-ray player for those ready to upgrade to the next level of HD video. Get great output in image and sound quality, save money on the energy bill and when you’re ready to move to the next level of home theater, recycle it.
