Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product so far, no issues. Really enjoyed watching my old Blu-Rays and just watched the 4K Ultra Edition of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, and it was excellent.

So far this is a good player and it has been reliable. Not all Sony products have been reliable in the past. The picture quality is good and meets expectations. The operation is run through the TV, so you cannot operate it independently from the TV. One downside is that you have to manually select between Dolby or DTS. This should be automatic and one of the reasons I did not give it 5 stars. A second downside is there is no analog audio output. This is supposed to function like a CD player, but you cannot hook it up to a stereo. Everything has to go through the TV. Another strike. Yet another issue is frame rate. Movie DVDs are at 24fps and most modern TVs have frame rate compatibility issues. This is an industry problem that needs to be solved. But it is more of a problem with the TVs than it is the player.

This is an excellent example of what a 4K BluRay player should be. Sony is 1/2 of my bedroom theater: a Sony 50" 4K TV and this 4K Player. Easy to set up, easy to use. I purchased the extended warranty for peace of mind. I am extremely pleased with Sony's 4K Player!

I had the previous model, which is almost exactly same - except dolby vision. I preferred to have dv than not, since my tv supports it. On some discs, it makes stronger enhancement than hdr. DV or not, for 4k, this is great. For blu-ray playback - it is perfect, if not better looking than a blu-ray player.

Works well, no freezing, reading all the blue-rays/dvds I have. The only thing I do no like - manual switch - dolby vision on/off. Still happy with my purchase, heavy, feels like quality.

Great picture, intuitive remote. Discs load fast. I need to obtain some UHD 4k dvds.

I have this Blu Ray player in my living room but wanted it for my "den" to be able to play the many formatted CDs & DVDs I have! Rather than playing one format, it's able to read any CD/DVD i put in the machine! Excellent. Plus it's well built and I recommend highly.

I acquired this unit to replace a different brand 4K player that was well over 3 years old. The Sony is doing the trick playing 4Ks, Blu-rays and DVDs where my previous unit was struggling. 4Ks along with the HDR capability look phenomenal on my LG OLED! It's easy to set up with variety of nice settings and easy menus.

This player is easy to set up and connect to the Tv. Very easy to use the controller and has an awesome picture upgrade from 1080P to 4K.

This is a great 4k player that won't break the bank like others will. Sure it's lacking a few things, but it makes up for it with having LDAC bluetooth built in plus all of the playback compatibilities. It's a great machine that compliments my mid range audiophile setup.

This is the second on of these Sony Blu-ray player we now have in our home. The quality and ease of using makes them perfect for use by our grandsons.

Sony 4K bluray player is an excellent addition to my Sony Bravia tv. You can play regular dvd and upscale is great. Plays cds and USB’s. Easy to connect and setup plus fits nicely under my tv. Size is a little bigger than most bluray players and has so many features.

As a guy who has an Xbox and PS5 I already had 4K players. They work well enough in their own right, and they offer amazing value, but my biggest issue was lack of Dolby vision support. I never got the full potential of my blu rays on those devices. As a videophile I had to get a standalone player. It’s QUIET, the picture is fantastic and also the use of an old school remote makes utilization a breeze. If you’re not too crazy about physical media or you’re just fine with the value that the consoles give then don’t worry about it, but if you want the best picture quality and care about DV without streaming this is a good investment.

The Sony - UBP-X800M2 at $299.99, is by far the best 4K Ultra Blu-Ray Player that I have ever owned! The day before, I purchased a Panasonic DP-UB820 at $499.99, which was the worst 4K Ultra Blu-Ray Player that I have ever owned and I returned it within 24 hours. I am not going into the details on why it was the worst because I rated it and you can read that. The Sony - UBP-X800M2 has a true 3840x2160 Resolution, with a crystal-clear picture, supporting 4K HDR and DOLBY VISION, plus great sound with DTS:X and Dolby Atoms. Some people were listing the lack of streaming apps. Its purpose is to play 4K and below DVDs. My TV has all of the apps that I want and my Roku Ultra Streaming player has all of the apps that I want. So, I don’t need a third streaming video device. Some folks were also complaining about it weighing, 8.4 pounds. This is a strong quality devise, that does not flex when you touch it. The extra strength makes it more durable. I don’t why anyone would complain about that. Once again, a GRAET 4K Ultra Blu-Ray Player! I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great 4K video picture.

Didn't believe this player would make a difference in sound quality but it did. Compared to a 3 year old Samsung bluray player, I noticed the sound is clearer and has more bass...punch to it. The upscaling does a good job too, but didn't have a chance to do A/B test to see whether the Sony is much better than the Samsung.

This was purchased to go with a new 4K tv. It is a compact unit that is like most players being easy to use and supports all the different formats from ultra HD down to a standard DVD. The picture output is good and the picture it produced on the TV was outstanding. We think it is a great unit.

This is an amazing disc player. its solidly built and plays literally any disc you put in it. The 4k is beautiful and the enhancing of bluray makes it almost look like 4k. And it also has Dolby Vision. Totally recommended.

I recently was using a Samsung 4K player and the switch to this Sony 4K player was definitely worth it. My Sony tv has Dolby Vision and this player just compliments my movie watching experience. I highly recommend this Sony 4K blu ray player. Easy to use and awesome to watch movies and stream. Thanks Best Buy you’re the best.

So far so good. No negative issues. Audio quality and Video resolution is excellent. I am running this through a Yamaha RX-V685 receiver that is Dolby Vision compatible and then the Sony - 55" Class - LED - X950G. Further research on my part is needed to determine how to set the Sony TV and Blu-ray in order to correctly upscale 1080 HD to 4K. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

I upgraded my home theater receiver to a unit that accepts the HDMI interface. However the Panasonic DVD-Audio had the choice of 6 discreet RCA outputs or a digital coax output. Had to use the digital coax cable with the new Onkyo receiver. This never sounded right playing DVD-Audio through digital coax. So my collection of disks collected dust. I then heard the Sony UBP-X800M2 played DVD-Audio disks and got one ASAP. I am more than happy with this unit. 4K, Bluray, DVD, CD, DVD-Audio, SACD all play perfectly. OMG! The sound is so great, 96 khz 24bit 5.1 surround sound! I bought this just for the DVD-Audio but it plays everything I threw at it beautifully! I cried hearing my DVD-Audio disks again as they were meant to be heard, wow!
