Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great price!!! Love the Hi-Res 4K blue-ray player.

This is the first ever 4K I UHD player I halve ever owned. It’s truly is awesome and with user friendly features.

This 4K DVD player works well with our Sony speakers and surround sound.

Excellent picture love the smart tv function size. Of picture is the right size for me

This player is one of a select few, as it is truly universal and will send multichannel DSD from SACD discs over HDMI. Like most current disc players it does not have 7.1 or 5.1 analog outputs. So if you have SACDs, but your receiver or pre pro will not decode DSD, you will have to convert to PCM. I have not done much viewing with this player as I have used it mainly as an audio disc player. I have had no issues with it, and consider it good value for money.

First I'll start with the Bad/Disapointing/Hard to Explain. Compared to the previous version of Sony UHD BluRay players this player only supports 3 Streaming Apps, so if you have an online Video Library, forget about accessing it from this player. I contacted Sony, to verify this was not part of a future release, and was told in no uncertain terms apps cannot be added to this player (in the future). So the only apps you get are: Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube (paid). No MoviesAnywhere, Vudu, Hulu, UV (going away anyway).... So if you've been collecting titles, and storing UHD in the cloud you wont be able to access them, even though the previous version of this player UBP-X800 had these capabilities. Be fore warned, there is no info in their manual to identify what apps are available (asked Sony about this; no real answers why). So how does it work with UHD 4K discs, most excellent. This is is my second UHD BluRay player, the first with Dolby Vision & Atmos. Now it hard to tell where HDR comes into play and where Dolby Vision come into play. I watched Jumanji (Welcome to the Jungle) on my old player and with the new Sony UBP-X800M2, and there were some "dark" seans that were much more vibrant/decernable on the M2 player. When lighting was bright things were pretty much equivalent with the M2 player having a bit more pop in the colors, but generally hard to differentiate. In the much darker ending it was much easier to see what was moving in the shadows and the shadows seemed to contain more color detail. To some extent this is hard to explain with words, and I tried photographing both to show the difference, but the camera could not capture the subtle differences. Suffice it to say that HDR10 with Dolby Vision does improve picture quality, offering a more real/lifelike picture. Dolby Atmos certainly has improved audio quality. The sound quality from Jumanji was spectacular. I've been collecting 4K UHD Blu-Ray's for a couple of years now (It's all I buy), I probably have 40+ discs, and their production quality does seem to keep improving (can say the same for all the movies). I've been upgrading many of my DVD's to UHD quality via Vudu. Having several hundred Digital Copies in the cloud, I very disappointed I can't access them with this player. The player has better output than anything else I've used/seen. If you don't store you video collection in the cloud, this may not matter to you. It does to me.

Works like it was supposed to. I don't have a 4K TV yet . Got the player before the tv. Much better than the one i got from amazon. The Amazon one was a $1 cheaper but was refurbished or open box and didnt day, but didn't even play any type of disk.

Good picture and sound quality! EASY TO INSTALL. AND PLAY. PLUS YOU CAN ACCESS Y-FI APPS.

Very nice picture with my Sony 4K TV. Smooth operation and quite intuitive to use.

Absolutely stark difference between the picture quality of a 4k uhd disc vs streaming. I will only watch streaming for movie that are only available in HD and below. Higher quality confirmed 4k uhd will strictly be played on my player. Im currently using a Sony a8h oled for my display. If you intend on buying this player makes sure your display will do it justice if it doesn't look else where.

First unit kept dropping signal. Odd. returned to store for a new one the next day and not a one issue. Works well with my Samsung Q80 series tv. Only wish that I could install user specific apps. Build quality is top notch. Does not feel like a cheap piece of tupperware like the other all plastic players do. Metal chassis all around is solid and well finished. Well done Sony.

I use this 4k bluray player for movies only. While I think streaming is all about convenience, on the other hand physical media still stand for quality. I have watched a few movies now and I was impressed at the quality of video and sound. If you are more into streaming then dont buy it, but if you want to experience true HD/ UHD then I definitely recommend this player.

Whisper quiet operation and its built like a tank. Went with this unit over the Panasonic because of the build quality and it doesn’t disappoint

I was replacing a 4K player of a different brand with your model and have been nothing but pleased so far, three weeks in. There's great picture and sound quality! The menus are a bit sparse, but that's perfectly okay, as I can get to exactly what I need to without wading through 22 layers of menus. If you're looking for a quality 4K player with SACD support and don't need 3D (and who really does?) this player is definitely worth picking up.

Bought to replace a failed blu-ray player. Easy setup. Phenomenal sound. Unit is solid and heavy and does not look cheap. Only had the player for a week so far but loving it. There are a lot of settings to play around with but haven’t adjusted much of them yet. Not sure about the upscaling. Played a rented DVD and it was blurry so had to turn off that feature. I don’t use the Dolby vision because my Samsung tv doesn’t support it. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price but I’m happy I finally did.

Debated whether to upgrade to 4K BluRay, but the urge just surged! Then I started comparing available units my bank to withstand. Had considered LG and less expensive SONY but decided just a slightly greater ticket price for this unit would avail me many more features I will appreciate as my use of 4K expands, just as my upgrade to a Samsung TV from my very serviceable Insignia was an awe inspiring step ! Go for it , my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to retire my last Sony UBP X800 due to unrelenting disc play and ejection issues. I replaced that troubled unit with this: the Sony UBP X800M2. The main menu is still very basic and has only added one additional option. If this unit lasts more than 5 years, I will be happy. The video quality output is impressive for the price point. I am a Sony fan and have always enjoyed years of great product build quality and their tech excellence. Sorry that this review isn’t extensive but I do recommend this 4K player.

Easy to set up and good quality and it works automatically with tv

Will never watch movies the same again. Would love to upgrade, but this 4K player is already a step up from my previous

Wanted an upgrade to my Sony Blu-Ray and this Sony UBP-X800M2 does the trick. I played a 4k Blu Ray disc and with the Sony sound system it was so enjoyable to watch and hear. So happy with my purchase
