Sherwood BDP-5003 Blu-ray Disc Player
The Sherwood BDP-5003 is priced at $250, and not surprisingly it's a stripped-down, feature-free model. It lacks BD-Live and native Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio support. Of course, such omissions might be forgiven if the unit could deliver outstanding images for such a reasonable price.
The Sherwood's images aren't outstanding, but they are acceptable -- most of the time. The player gave its worst performance on regular DVDs, where it had to upconvert the image. It did better with Blu-ray Discs; altogether, we gave the BDP-5003 mostly Good scores for Blu-ray Disc image quality, with a few Very Goods and Fairs.

But if you want more features and better image quality, we'd suggest looking elsewhere.
