Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this 4k blu ray player when I took in my old 4k blu ray player in for repair which is a lower end model Sony when I choose to get a refund and get a new 4k blu ray player. The picture quality is amazing on my 4K blu ray player on DVDs, regular Blu ray movies upscales amazing on 4k. Both Dolby vision and HDR 10 also looks excellent on my TV. Colors really pop out in Dolby vision depending on what tv you have.

This beast is a must own for moive\bluray watchers. it upscales blurays way more than the tv or xbox could ever do. I use it daily and I am impressed with the picture everytime. It takes a while to adventure through all the settings and adjustments but it is worth it

First the good stuff. This player does a fantastic job, especially at upscaling content. Whatever we've thrown at it looks great on a big screen. On the less desirable side, making most of the front panel the flip down to eject the disc tray feels flimsy and cheap. A traditional tray design would be much better. The button layout on the remote is odd and unfriendly. The most important buttons are tiny and hard to find. The remote should be backlit. I'd still give it a strong recommendation, but Sony made some surprisingly poor choices.

Love this 4k Blu-ray player, covers all HD formats, CD formats, beautiful playback and sound, easy to use and good construction, easily paired with my Sony tv and it’s remote, also it will make your blu-ray and standard DVD’s look good, between the sale and reward cash made this a win-win

The sound out of this bar and rear speakers/bass is pretty good. I got it for the Atmos. Atmos seems to be pretty hit or miss because there isn’t a standard that the studios have to meet for the home market. I’ve been pretty selective on the discs I’ve bought to get the most out of it. It’s kind of a pain in the butt remote, and the ap won’t hook up. Once I found the best settings I was pleased.

Overall, satisfied with the player. It did freeze up a few times watching Top Gun-Maverick but all other discs that I have played have been fine. When the scene froze, I had to go back and replay the chapter to continue. I assume the issue is with the disc though it was a new disc played the first time. Picture quality is nice and upscaling to 4K on the BR discs I tried was very good.

This Sony UBP-X800M2 player is worth the price. I now have 3 of these. I was so impressed with the first one I bought. I've had my first one for over one year and no problems at all. These players are heavy duty and my 4k discs look and sound super awesome. Super satisfied with this model.

My last 4K player stopped working all the sudden and needed a new one fast. Saw this one on BB app and well Sony is a good brand anyway. Player works great, easy setup and use, Movies play great and love how it comes with Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube built-in.

I bought this to use with my new Sony 4K TV. It did however, take some trial & error to get things working correctly. The main problem was that my 8 year old AVR is not equipped for 4K. It had the HDMI's but not rated for 4K. Another reason for buying this model player was the ability to play my hybrid SACD's . Man that's areal treat to finally be able to hear the SACD band. 4K discs look outstanding on this player as well, as blu-rays & regular DVD's Definitely worth the additional expense .

I have this player as well as its predecessor, the original UBP-X800 that I also purchased at Best Buy. It plays movies, CD's and SACD discs beautifully. It does not have as many apps as its predecessor but that is irrelevant as every app I need is on my Sony 930E Android TV. I bought this player for one reason: to add Dolby Vision. And that is the rub. Sony added Dolby Vision to its 930E series televisions and I wanted a play to match so I had that option. The Sony TV readily switches from HDR10 to Dolby Vision depending on content. The M2 has the same excellent build quality as its predecessor. Unfortunately the X800M2 does not. You manually have to switch the player from one format to the other. While I have heard many technical and operational explanations of why this player does not yet do auto switching, to quote "I say B#," Hopefully Sony will release a firmware update that enables auto switching between HDR10 and Dolby Vision, both for this player and the previously released UBP=X700, Meanwhile I am enjoying everything in HDR10. I could go to the bother of manually switching formats. My wife. No way! So, the new M2 is connected to my 930E and the original X800 to my Sony 900E. I love the player but will love it more if Sony updates it to auto format switching.

This Blu-Ray player offers outstanding picture quality when paired with Sony 90 series OLED TV and a Sony 7.2 Receiver for sound. Single HDMI connection via 2.1 enhanced cable ties all three devices together. This is ideal for those who desire a clean audio video set up with a minimum of wiring complexity. I recommend this Blu-Ray player and Sony system for those like me who are not electronic whiz’s!

It just works!! Ive gone thru cheap players that are finicky as heck to more expensive ones that seem to lose signal constantly (looking at u lg) this 4k player plain works! Reads every dvd, blu ray, 4k disc ive popped in and plays flawlessly! The internet connection when connected stays connected. My only small complaint is it has very few available apps HOWEVER i didn't buy this thing to use as a smartbox. I wanted it to actually read discs and not overheat and get unresponsive like sonys cheaper but still expensive other 4k player and lg as well. This one is the real deal you wont be dissappointed if you want a basic 4k player without all bells and whistles but does what its suppose to do very well. Great picture sound and color and upres old dvds nicely!

Worth with this price. Plays 4K and easy to use. Sound quality is also nice.

This is hands down a great piece of home theater equipment you need for next level viewing. Great speed, great sound processing and the image quality is as good as it can get right now. For the price, you get a ton of value. Easy to navigate, easy to access streaming services, easy to set up to home network. I had one issue that required an exchange be made. The home screen kept freezing up and the only remedy was to unplug the unit. The new exchange unit seems to operate flawlessly, so maybe just a fluke.

Player was super easy to set up and getting playing. This model has a slightly heavier duty case and build quality. The disc tray remains lightweight plastic but operates smoothly. The unit is responsive to remote commends. Connected wirelessly to my home network and updated firmware smoothly. No issues so far with freezing or locking up the unit.

Bought BP-X00M2 10/29/2023. It is a nice player. The one feature I want to mention is the fact it clears up the picture fuzziness of old DVDs in lower resolution really well. I'm playing Peter Sellar's "Cosi Fan Tutti "Opera I have on DvD. the image quality of this Opera is basically the same as a Laserdisc (better than VHS, but not as good as the usual DVD. Ive owned this DVD for many years. and can say the image is only fair. But.. The Sony UBP=X800M2 clears it up! I does take about 20 seconds for the image to improve. Subtittle edges take a bit longer, like a minute to get really sharp. The image improves so much I am just amazed at what this DVD player can do. I have thousands of old DVDs and this player makes them better. I have no comparison to any other 4K players. I can only say am pleased with this Sony

I really like the build quality of the UBP-x800M2 in this day of mostly throw away Blu-ray players . What I do not like is a lack of an internet browser and more apps . I got this for its Dolby Vision support. For me it looks so much better than regular HDR10. I have this connected to a 55inch Visio HDTV. Just Beautiful!! looking at my 4k and Blu-ray disks. Netflix looks a little more crisp under the Dolby Vision off this player vs Netflix on my Nvidia Shield TV device.

This unit will play all of my audio types (Dvd-Audio , DTS and SACDwith very good sound and looks great on my Samsung 65" tv. It is built very well having a metal case and It also has some streaming apps. One negative thing is it does not have the VUDU app and according to Sony tech support, it never will. Its predecessor had an app store this one comes pre-loaded with Netflix, YouTube and Amazon and you can not add anything else. (Bad move Sony) But all this for only $249.99 on sale makes this a great unit.

After buying a Sony 4K television, the next logical step was to purchase a 4K player. I have another 4K brand player in the bedroom but this Sony blows it out of the water performance wise. It is just overall a better quality player. The menu is simple but functional and the remote is more than adequate. It only offers 3 streaming options but I primarily use this for playing discs and use my TV for streaming. I'm very glad I went with Sony.

This 4K player puts out a sharp, clear picture with great resolution. It even upgrades Blu-ray discs to look like 4K! It does HDR and Dolby Vision upgrades if your TV and discs offer that video platform. It's built like a solid tank, not plastic cheap. Set up is very easy. Just hook up the HDMI cable and go into the settings and you're in business. The only negative is that this Sony 5K player limits streaming possibilities. It only permits streaming on Netflix, Amazon and YouTube. No Hulu, HBO or anything else. If you can overlook the streaming options, this is the 4K player for you.
