Sony UBP-X800M2 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player

...and this is exactly what this 4K player is, QUALITY.From the moment you take it out from its box you know it is a joy to behold. It is heavy (no flimsy plastic here), solely built and looks the part. Having just bought a 4K tv (Sony) I wanted to make sure I got the full benefit of the incredible picture that 4K gives. Although I do not, as yet, have any 4K Blu-rays, the Blu-rays I have watched are so much brighter and clearer and even sound better than through my older LG Blu-ray player.At the moment, like most of the world right now, we are all stuck inside for a while (maybe a long while) so we might as well make the best of it and watch those DVDs and Blu-rays that have been sitting in your cupboard for quite some time. I just watched Paddington and Paddington 2 and thoroughly enjoyed them both - more so in this player than ever before.I particularly like the fact that I can feed (is that the right word to use) Netflix and Prime through the player and the result is amazing - although to be honest the TV itself does do a remarkable job with both these as well. (We are lucky to have a 100+mb speed for our internet connection which means no drop out, even when everyone seems to be using the connection at the same time).All I need now is a really good cinema sound system to complete the package, but to be honest, the new Sony TV's sound system is the clearest I have listened to - being over 70 and a bit hard of hearing - so maybe the cinema sound thingy is not essential YET.*****UPDATE*****A quick update. Been using this for a little while now and have discovered that if you set picture quality to AUTO 2 it upscales normal DVDs as well as Blu-ray to 4K. The quality is amazing, it makes DVDs as clear as Blu-rays and Blu-rays like 4K. Stunning.

Intuitive in playing of all 8 area territories on dvd. a bit more expensive though worth it in the simple way that it works.High res audio really turns up the ally to feel the disc selection.I'm using a Samsung smart telly and it works just fine!!!Hat's off to SonyKUDOS!!!

I used to play my 4K disks on my Xbox but it was way too noisy while spinning the disk so I decided to find a stand alone player. I kept hearing that this unit was really quiet with a great picture/sound quality and I've got to say, I heard right & I'm very impressed. It also upscales DVDs very well not to mention bluray disks and it supports quite a few formats. I quite like the players design/build too, feels very solid for the most part. If I had to have a nitpic at the machine I'd say the players menus are a bit bland and in some cases not very explanitory which will lead you to flick through the manual to find out something like what "video 1" does as opposed to "video 2". Would have been nice if theyd have put the info onscreen. Regardless, it's a nitpic, I'd totally recommend this 4k player.

I own the first generation of BluRay player ever released by Sony back in 2009. This model is just a different level. Super quiet, smooth action and does not overheat or shut itself down-like the very first release does, not always but can be moody. Upscaling to 4K is brilliant and seriously does make difference. I do not own super expensive TV-Samsung Q65C 4K HDR and all good stuff. Highly recommend this BluRay player not the cheapest however worth the money. Top Tip - get hdmi 2.1 cables to connect to your TV and soundbar - difference in sound is unreal, immense experience!

Really good player but strange thing is if stop film part way through no option to continue where left off, happened once am certain but never since. Haven't measured it but player is large I'd say over 30cm I wish Amazon told people these things . Got it as I upgraded TV for first time in well over twenty years and wanted to upscale to 4k, upscales well but go into options and test which setting works best on your TV. Also for dark scenes the player has brightness settings as well rather than only using TV settings I recently discovered which is nice.

I quickly grabbed this Sony 4k UHD Playerwhilst it was at an attractive price but I still would of bought it anyway after reading it's reviews.And it arrived quickly,and i soon had it set up to my 55inch LG OLED TV.in no time.I was surely Impressed with the picture & sound quality.

Although a HiFi hobbiest I am, like many folk, a MidFi purchaser of equipment. My 12 year old dvd/blu-ray player suddenly packed up on me and within 24 hours Amazon had this Sony replacement delivered to my door. The first thing I noticed was that the Sony box had not been shut properly. This to me implied a returned item. This in itself didn't bother me. It can mean an item properly corrected and tested by the makers. Connection was no problem. I must confess that despite the upgrading I was unable to detect any improvement to the TV image. It had seemed perfect before and still was. But the sound improvement was stunning. There was so much more detail; I kept listening to snippets of various discs in my collection in order to experience the improvement. Sadly it wasn’t exactly ‘Happy ever after. The player intermittently failed to respond to the remote. It wouldn’t even turn off. The fault was corrected by turning the player off at the mains for 2 minutes - hardly acceptable. Amazon’s highly efficient returns system clicked in but they were sadly unable to send a replacement so a full refund ended the transaction. But I am still a fan of this player.
