I wanted to make this purchase so that i could create a small collection of high quality 4k HD and bluray dvds without spending a bundle on the player. This player has great features including apps like Netflix and others that could be utilized without switching inputs as well. The size is perfect as it fits with my other electronics without taking up space. The sound and color quality is fantastic. The brand is a company i know and trust. Im happy with this product.

I had been using an Xbox one for blue rays and while it did the job adequately, this dedicated blue ray player does the job way better. I had grainy issues on some of my movies on the Xbox but on this Sony it's extremely clear and paired with my LG 4K tv and Sonos Arc+Sub I finally feel like I'm getting the visual and audio experience that I've been wanting. I bought it on a great best buy deal as well so the price was great but even if not on a deal the price is very fair especially when compared with some of the other similar offerings by Panasonic for example. I've had no issues with stuttering or any issues at all for that matter and can confidently recommended it for all your blue ray needs.

I was apprehensive at first because of the other negative reviews I've seen on this website. However I have not experienced any of the problems they are talking about. I watched multiple 4K ultra HD movies and experienced no issues. I however ended up purchasing an open box item while they were on sale so I got mine for under $120 but the unit looked brand new. I went ahead and got the geek squad four year protection because of the other reviews in case anything goes wrong with the unit. As other reviews state the manual switching for Dolby vision is 88, annoyance as people who are less technically inclined might not know which movies are adopted with Dolby vision so you have to switch it on and off depending on the content you're viewing or it will skew the picture. There really aren't that many other options in this price range so for th I'me price I paid I would recommend this unit if you're looking for a ultra HD 4K player. I have not used it for any upscaling or apps as I only watch discs with it so I can't say anything about those. It has great picture quality good blacks but most of the issues I found come from the 4K ultra HD disk adaptations themselves as it's difficult to have a movie displayed with HDR content when it was only filmed in standard dynamic range so older movies have a hard time with that however that's a TV issue and old technology meshing with new technology problem.

It's amazingly small (half the size of the DVD player it replaced) and does a great job at displaying 4K and Blu-ray content via my home theater AVR and TV. My only gripe: the remote is so very small a human male cannot press the buttons accurately. Overall, I am very pleased.

I like it. Plays all DVDs and looks good. No back lit remote. Easy hook up. Only use it for DVDs, not for streaming. Fits perfectly under my TV.
