THE PROS: The Vizio VBR334 3D Blu-ray Player supports stunning playback of 1080p/24 on both 3D and standard 2D blu-ray discs. You get great audio quality with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio high-resolution formats – decoded internally or transferred in their native bit-stream form via a HDMI cable to be decoded externally. The VBR334 is a wireless player that provides access to online services like VUDU™, Netflix, Pandora and other popular sites such as Facebook®, Twitter, Flickr®, Picasa, Associated Press, The New York Times. The VBR334 can handle USB playback of Mp3s and JPEG, as well as BD-Live and Bonus View functionality. One nice added bonus is they have included a HDMI cable. This is rarely seen in blu-ray players packaging.

THE CONS: Like most mid-level to low-level models, the VBR334 only has one HDMI output. So you can’t transmit two separate signal to your 3D TV and A/V receiver. There are no 7.1-channle analog outputs or built-in storage memory for access BD-Live content. A USB memory device will be required for accessing and downloading BD-Live features. The VBR334 also does not support DLNA devices.

THE FINAL WORD: The Vizio VBR133 has many of the features you want in a good blu-ray player. There is Wi-Fi, with access to many popular streaming and social content sites. The price is consistent to that of other mid-level models. And it will provide you with excellent Hi-Def picture and sound quality.
