Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

So I bought this to use with a Sony 900h tv. Up until now I’ve been using Xbox one or series x as UHD blu ray player. Immediately I noticed a big difference. Not only does it allow Dolby vision from uhd disc but hdr 10 looks fantastic and even upscale Blu-ray’s are vastly improved. Honestly this has turned the tv from acceptable to me to WOW. Easily worth 150$. Unless you’re insanely picky I wouldn’t spend extra money for one of the best in class Panasonic. And I would save 50$ and go for the cheaper Sony. THIS IS THE WAY.

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

This takes the place of a Sony 1100ES blu-ray that failed after jlust 16 months of service. It handles everything well, from movies to streaming, plus SACD music and conventional CDs. It lacks the display of its more expensive (but discontinued) predecessor, but otherwise looks and operates pretty much the same way--fingers crossed that it stays the course and remains less buggy and unreliable than the 1100 that caused us so many problems.

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 already omn the Panasonic UB320k but picked up this Sony for our bedroom tv as our old unit didnt support dolby vision and this one does. I was impressed with the image quality and the solid build of this unit. Very well done and works beautifully. Cant really see much difference between my expensive Panasonic and this one, with the one exception of the Sony not supporting auto detection of HDR formats where the Panasonic does. Other 5han that this player is very good quality and I am pleased with it.

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!

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.

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.

Very good, quality built player with a bare bones front end menu. This player is bigger and heftier than you might expect. The casing feels like metal and with absolutely stay put wherever you set it. The solid build also means it is whisper quiet while playing your movies. The super simple front end may seem plain at first but in today's age of cluttered smart TV/Streaming box interfaces, choke-full of ads it's nice to have so little to sift through in order to just watch a movie. My only gripe is something that has cropped up with 4k Blu-Ray players from several brands. Every now and then while watching a movie the player will come to a complete freeze, with the only remedy being a complete shut down or unplugging the machine altogether. This doesn't happen all the time, but has happened enough times for me to question if my movie watching experience will be hampered every time I insert a disc.

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.

Best Sony 4K blu ray player. I’m loving it day by day

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.

I wanted to upgrade my 4K player, and went with what I know and trust. For me, thats Sony. My television is a 75" Sony 4K. My amp, a Sony 7.2 surround sound. I use Klipsch speakers, and employ 2 subs, along with a center channel, two fronts, two sides, and rear speakers. I noticed the difference immediately. The action is quicker, the 4K picture super sharp, and the sound as good, to me, as a theater. But it starts with my Sony 4K disk player, that feeds everything. Glad that I made the jump.

Awesome quality, great even with non 4K movies! So happy with my purchase!

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.

Excellent in every way! Ease to use. Fantastic resolution. Picture quality breath taking. Highly recommend to anyone.

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 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.

I upgraded from a LG Blu-Ray player that I’ve had for seven years. The first thing I noticed was the gigantic change in the surround sound. It was unbelievable. So much better. The picture was crystal clear and I believe the colors were better. I don’t have a 4K television yet, that will come before the end of the year so I can’t say how that looks. All I can base my review on is the difference between the new Sony 4K player and an older LG. Love this player and would buy again.
