Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Disc Player - Get More Than $70 Off The Sony BDP-N460

Full HD 1080p Output

Blu-ray discs output at a full 1080p resolution, also known as True HD. This is six times more clear and powerful than the resolution and data storage provided when using a DVD, which is encoded at a significantly smaller 480p resolution. The data storage capacity of Blu-ray discs, combined with the technological power of the Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Disc Player, bring you an unrivaled clarity and depth of image that truly takes advantage of the capabilities of more modern 1080p compatible HDTV units, and delivers a staggering 2 million pixels per image displayed.

DVD Upscaling Through HDMI Technology

Putting a DVD into this Blu-ray disc player will upscale that DVD, courtesy of HDMI technology. This will cause your otherwise standard-definition DVD to output at nearly high-definition quality on your HDTV unit.

24 Frames-Per-Second True Cinema Technology

A clear majority of Hollywood movies and other major motion pictures are recorded at 24 frames per second, so it's perfect that your Sony BDP-N460 was designed to match the same frame rate as these films, bringing you a true 1080p / 24 fps theatrical experience from the comfort of your own home. However, the Sony BDP-N460 is also capable of outputting the less common, but more advanced 60 frames per second, and still at a consistent 1080p resolution. So, whether you're watching a video with 1080p / 24 fps, or 1080p / 60 fps, this Sony Blu-ray disc player has you covered.

Precision Cinema HD Upscale Circuitry

The Precision Cinema HD Upscale Circuitry technology within the Sony BDP-N460 works to deliver sharp, accurate, vivid images that faithfully retain the clarity and detail from the original source of the video. Rather than detecting image movement and changes at the broad level of entire scan lines, this circuitry instead utilizes advanced processing and conversion to detect image changes down to the virtually microscopic pixel level. Additionally, the Sony BDP-N460 uses separate processing algorithms when determining the moving and still parts of an image, which results in significantly sharper backgrounds, as well as moving objects that are free from unwanted motion distortion and artifacts.

xvYCC Color Output

When it comes to display of color, this Sony Blu-ray disc player has adopted a new technology known as xvYCC Color, or "x.v. Color" for short. This technology displays a much more broad range of colors on the color spectrum than the classic RGB format. The Sony BDP-N460 uses the xvYCC technology to achieve a range of color that's as much 80% greater than it's RGB predecessor.

Dolby True HD And DTS HD 7.1 Analog Surround Sound

In more traditional multimedia players, it was very common for high-quality audio to be sacrificed in exchange for audio compression, thus removing sound data so the audio can transmit from the disc to the output circuitry, and only giving you a fraction of the original sound. Recently, modern formats of technology can now compress that audio data without discarding any information, which allows the original audio to be heard once it's been decoded. What this means for you is that with your Sony BDP-N460, you'll be able to stream the audio from your Blu-ray disc player to any compatible high end receiver via HDMI cable, or through an analog capable 7.1 surround sound system.

BD-Live Technology

When it comes to extra content within the movies you buy, the more the better. With BD-Live Technology, you're able to download and stream additional bonus content from your Sony BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Disc Player to your HDTV set, along with additional and deleted scenes, future movie trailers, short clips, movie related games, and more.

Instant Streaming Access To Thousands Of Movies, Videos, And Music

With access to an ever-growing list of 25 different content providers, the Sony BDP-N460 is the Blu-ray disc player for you, especially if you love having support for content from heavy hitters like Netflix, YouTube, Slacker Radio, and many more!
