Customer Ratings & Reviews

In an era of streaming and Best Buy also getting rid of their physical media section, you may ask why do I need a 4K player? The answer is because it’s better.

I’m very techy so when it comes to buying technology for my home theater I research, research and research so more. This player would always be a result in the searches I did and I can see why. This player is remarkable for picture quality for 4K Blu-rays, Blu-rays and even up converting DVD’s. I bought this strictly for playing movies not for streaming. My streaming I use is an Apple TV 4K. The Sony X800M2 is very quiet, loads discs fast and looks great. I have no gripes about it, even having to enable Dolby Vision takes less then 10 seconds to do so I don’t find it a hassle to do like some have mentioned. My best advice for any product is research, research and research some more so you know you’ve getting some quality and will last. I got this while it was on sale for $200

This is a replacement for one that had issues when playing DVD's. It would stop the video and leave the audio on, or it would stop the audio and leave the video rolling, or it would stop completely for a few seconds then restart from the beginning, or it would stop and shut its self off completely and this would happen several times in a 10 minute time span that caused Me Great Stress and Irritation! The Geek Squad advised me that it would cost more to send it in for repair than to issue a refund for a new model. I did have to pay a little extra on top of the refund for this model, but it's performing admirably and has NO issues with DVD's, Blue Ray's, or 4K Ultra Disk's! It is exceptionally clear and the Dolby Atmos is also very impressive! I'm very impressed with this Upgraded unit and I Pray it does not develop any of the issues that the last one had.

Seems to play any discs I’ve thrown at it so far. Only wish it had a display for seeing track numbers when I use it as a CD/SACD player without having to have the TV on to see track info. Otherwise, solidly built.

This 4K player is this best one I ever owned to date. It literally plays any kind of discs. The picture quality looks amazing plus you get Dolby vision with any movie that has it. I highly recommend this player.

I have 50yrs of audio video experience and have owned many Sony Products including a 65in OLED A80 flat panel tv. This player has a substantial weight of 8lbs check out other players even more expensive ones and you'll see they are typically 3-5lbs. I also own a Panasonic UB9000 at about 20lbs, but it is nearly 3 times the money. You can't go wrong with this player. What I can't believe is how I ordered it online yesterday and it is here today! My Ku Du's for Best Buy being on the ball......

Nice sound good lpcture.and a better picture. Good for 4k.

This BluRay player is easy to use and works great. The color is spectacular and the sound outstanding.

Best DVD for the price out there. Higher than average, but you get a sturdier build, upscaling, various media format support and the Sony one and only brand.

I have no need to utilize the streaming functions. The video playback is excellent, far superior to its predecessor which was a standard HD player. The picture and sound are significantly better in all aspects than any streaming service I use.

4K Blu-ray players will probably be as far as physical media will go. As convenient as streaming can be, this is the best possible experience you can get watching movies with a home theater system. It supports all the latest visual technology, including Dolby Vision. The player is well built and sturdy. Has a nice heft to it that makes it feel premium. To get the most out of it, make sure you have it connected to a well deserved TV that supports HDR.

Love Sony for their blu-ray players ECT. The quality of this unit is outstanding from the slim design to the picture. Easy set up and easy to use. Well worth the price considering if you have a 4K TV to go with it. Would by again.

Well made and it works well with all dvds, blueray, and 4K. Great picture quality.

There are times you should treat yourself to all the data. Streaming is great; it's fast convenient and 4K Dolby Vision is widely available. But, the movie is still being streamed so some compression is taking place and that prevents you from seeing all the movie has to offer. For those films that deserve the full resolution, full sound treatment, get a 4K disk and put it in this player. Then sit back and enjoy everything the movie creators wanted you to enjoy. Stream the minor or disposable stuff, but for the big films, see them on this player. It's easy to use and delivers movies to your eyeballs the way they were meant to be seen.

Easy To Set up and use. Doesn't take up much room and upscales to 4K video

Purchased this to replace my Sony 700 player that was freezing up on 4k discs. Plays great and the homepage is simple. Remote is easy to use and all the buttons respond great. Picture and audio is amazing!

Solidly built component that plays the majority of dvd/cd formats. As noted by others, it would be nice to have a small digital screen while playing audio cds so you don’t need to turn on the tv. For me, I’m not sure the next level of players is worth the return on investment especially with this model being a third of the price. Not knocking the quality of other players only that Sony has this model at a fair price point for the options it comes with.

Great Blu-ray player for the price. I replaced an old PlayStation 3 which had served as my blu-ray player for several years. The new unit was easy to connect and setup.

My final selection was this Sony UBP-X800M2 Blu-Ray Player. I researched and shopped players within this price range that would compliment my new AV Receiver and OLED televison. I decided this unit would fit the bill for me. It has all the newest features allowing it to communicate with my other new feature rich home theater components via HDMI connectivity. It can currently stream Wi-Fi from YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video if needed although I have not performed this task as of yet. This model also came bundled with two 4K Blu-Ray Disks. The unit itself has a well built solid feel to it and has been playing my HD 4K Blu-Ray Discs beautifully as advertised with no problems detected. It's a very feature rich unit with a included remote controlling all of the usual optional features including it's pleasant onscreen menu system.

This is the besk 4k player on the market. It is made by sony and is a sturdy item and has solid construction.
