I decided to return my x700 because it kept freezing. Since it was only 50 dollars more I decided to get this one. I am glad I did it is a big step up in terms of picture and sound quality I am amazed. I did not give this a 5 star because it still has an occasional freeze nothing like the x700 though

I seriously can't believe upscaling in 4k is a thing! Whoever invented it, deserves an immediate entry to heaven! SD content in this player look crazy good almost HD. Can't imagine how well HD DVD looks, I'm impressed and happy I got this dirt cheap.. Blu ray in 1080p also looks almost like 4k in this thing! Don't sleep on it, I did my homework too.

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.

This a sturdy, high quality player. A nice metal chassis that feels very premium for such a low price. Has Dolby Vision, a feature i very much wanted and not all players in this price range have. Plays 4k discs, regular Blu-rays, and even DVDs well. Not very loud either, especially compared to my last player.

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!

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.

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.

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 have an LG 970 4K Blu-ray player and the Xbox One X's 4K Blu-ray player. Sony's X800M2 knocks all of them out of the park with its crystal clear 4K quality and viscerally thunderous audio capabilities. Plus, it supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, a laundry list of various formats (everything from MP4 to DVD-ROM to .MOV)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

works as it should.no complaints. easy to set up. very important

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'm using this player with a Sony A95L OLED TV and a relatively old Yamaha receiver and HDMI return channel, and am impressed with the level of integration. I can use the tv remote to control everything except opening and closing the player drawer. The upscaling of old blu-rays to 4K is impressive. Note: both the player and the TV have similar upscaling capabilities - I can't tell the difference. I've watch Oppenheimer in 4K on it, and the level of detail is great! I'm looking forward to trying the player with a lesser system that has an LG 43" 4K monitor (not a tv).

This 4k UHD player has a lot of settings that can be adjusted to match what works best for your particular TV and preference. Setup and navigation are easy but it may take some trial and error to adjust the color rendering formats, audio formats, and display sizing the way that you want them. The upscaling is excellent, UHD is perfect, and all special features on the discs are accessible. You can stream links from discs, Netflix, Prime, and Youtube. The only thing that disappointed me on this player is that it would not play some old Northern Exposure discs. It apparently is not compatible with the double sided format that the DVDs use.
