Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have never used another 4k bluray player, so I have no idea whether others are noticeably worse than this one - it's possible that this is the pinnacle and I just have expectations that are too high. This thing works fine - sturdy build quality, looks nice, quiet, built-in power supply, installs easily. However, it requires poking around in menus to switch between outputting Dolby Vision and just plain 'ol HDR10. This requires that I closely inspect the box of a 4k bluray and decide which setting I want and choose it before playing. If I forget and start the movie, I have to exit, go to settings, and flip the switch, and then start the movie again. It's a real pain. Aside from that, it's extremely limited as a streaming player - buy this for a dedicated 4k bluray/bluray/DVD/SACD/other random optical media player, not for anything else. I managed to get the remote to control my TCL TV by using a Vizio remote code, so I can change the volume. It does not support CIC to change the volume of a receiver.

Worth every cent! I'm fainally maximizing the full potential of my TV's capabilities. This player delivers like no other, the response time is perfect, the intergration is easy, the picure and sound are stunnimg compared to its competitors. It got simple software and is super easy to navigate. Well worth the price!

so far working fine-have not tried a 4K dvd yet as I need to upgrade the HDMI cable and get a 4K dvd but the TV is capable so will update once I do that.

Well built, heavy unit. Being used primarily for CD playback. Sounds great and has quick, quiet operation. Just wish that it had more visual display info, but that is a small complaint for such a reasonably priced quality CD player Very similar to the high end Sony Esprit model.

Definitely an upgrade from my “another brand “ I don’t know if maybe I’m crazy, but the 4k seems more vivid, and definitely a sound upgrade. I would recommend this to anybody that still in the 4K Blu-ray market.

Great Center Speaker!!! Sleak design and can handle the power when driven by an external amplifier. Love Martin Logan!

Superb picture quality. Even 8mm film to VHS and then onto DVD is amazing. Must use high end HDMI cabling which is not included because each person's connections length is different. Handles 5.1 and 7.1 Dolby and DTS hands down. The optical out is a nice touch.

I purchased the Sony-UBP-X800M2 4k Ultra Hi-Res Blu-ray player because I heard all of the talk about this player. I think sound is fantastic it plays sacd as well has other cd and it does it very well. The only problem I have had is the remote stop working but luckily it works with other sony dvd player remotes.

decided to collect physical media and this is my first player! plays everything beautifully and makes lower quality things hi res so you don’t have to buy the 4k version. although buying 4k movies would be THAT much better it does everything it needs

this is one of sony top of the line blu-ray dvd players it has dolby vision and hr10 very nicepicture and sound

Second purchase of this model, upgraded here with Dolby Vision. Picture and sound are terrific. So glad it’s compatible with SACD as well. Wish the remote were backlit, but ergonomically it’s fine.

Earlier this year, I purchased the Sony 950H full array TV and needed a 4K UHD player to pair up with it. After all the reviews, I decided on the UBP-X800M2. The metal frame and sleek design helps with noise and vibration and feels like a solid build. It upscales DVD movies and I think works great with the TV.

I have been very happy with this in terms of great picture and multiformat compatibility and have been using it heavily every since I purchased it. I will say that when I first set it up, it could not read any of the media I tried to load and I went through the standard buyers remorse of having purchased a pretty expensive brick. As soon as I reset it, everything worked fine, but I'm docking a star for giving me an aneurism upon first attempted use.

Purchased to play cd's. Not kidding. Coaxial output to a DAC and I can play my old cds. The 4k bluray is great too. Didn't realize how much better movie audio can be on physical disc vs streaming.

This is the best dvd player I’ve ever used. Period. As a Blu-ray player that’s even better. The controls are quick and the machine loads and plays even quicker. Pausing and restarting is a breeze. And has not yet failed to return to the point left from yet. -it plays Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision disks. This is a definite buy. -

After settling between this player and the Panasonic ub820 I settled for this for two reasons. The Sony was $150 cheaper and did all the reviews highly rate this player. I didn't want to much ability to play with the HDR like the Panasonic offers. Sony does a good job with that and sometimes less is more for me. But the one negative is that Dolby vision needs to be turned on or off based on the disc. It's annoying and it should auto detect it. Other then that I highly recommend it. Nearly silent operation and the picture and sound is excellent. It plays nice with my Bravia TV for best picture settings automatically. With the exception of Dolby vision. 5 star product IF it was able to auto detect Dolby vision

A good player overall with great picture quality. The feature set is in line with the price. This is my second 800M2 so I liked it enough to buy another one but I do have a few issues with it. First, the inability to turn off Energy saver mode is annoying and many disks don't have a resume feature. I could see it shutting off when stopped, but not paused. I had to program my control system to automatically send a command every 5 minutes to keep the player on. In the vein of control, Sony no longer makes an integration-friendly player after discontinuing the 1100, and IP control of the 800 via anything other than the app remains elusive. That means an IR repeater is necessary. However, the IR window is on the door sand getting an IR repeater to stick to the moving door (most of the front panel opens) is a bit of a challenge. I realize most users simply play disks and use the remote control, but I wanted to point out the issues for those who want to incorporate it into a control system. Sony needs to offer a higher-end unit with RS-232 and IP control.

I purchased this Sony - UBP-X800M2 - Streaming 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-Ray Player to replace an old Sony DVD player. It is definitely a high-end unit, that in my opinion is a quick plug n play device. Setting up the unit is fast and easy. This is not a compact unit, it is long but sleek looking.

The Sony Streaming 4K is good at 2 things, 1 compact and 2 the high resolution it can project, what a beast of a 4K machine. Plays high-quality Blu Rays and 4K. The DVD can be unpredictable depending on the grade, but this is an improvement machine, without a doubt, a powerful machine and also without delays and also quiet when playing a movie since in other players you can hear how the DVD sounds, literally they sound like a plane taking off, Having WiFi makes it one of the best DVD players out there.

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!
