Player worked great at first. Over time player freezes and makes loud popping noise. You have to unplug to reset player. I would recommend extended warranty. I've always bought Sony products but not anymore.

Thought this was the best for the money. Many reviews talked about the picture freezing. I thought an update would take care of that if it happened. It happened, I updated, still happened. Picture good what it works. The other reason I got this unit was to play back my SACD and my DVD-A, for that its flawless!! I then picked up the Panasonic 820. Picture and control wise, it blows away the Sony.

I’m on my second unit. The first unit was occasionally unresponsive to both the remote and direct button presses and required unplugging to reset. The second one has been okay so far. Sound quality and image seem fine. I just hope it lasts.

Received the Sony UBP-X800M2 UHD player and it does the job that's expected for a 4K Blu-Ray disc player. No issues with installation and playing 4K movies, Blu-Ray movies, DVD movies, or even music CDs.
No issues with HDR on movies and I haven't noticed any issues with Dolby Vision, except that you have to manually turn it on and off. That's a first world inconvenience, but not a dealbreaker.
I stream the majority of my movies now, but having a quality disc player for movies that have already been bought is worth the investment.

Okay when not throwing an error or skipping

We've owned this for almost 2 years now and at this point it is just kind of OK. There are enough "wrong format" errors when inserting DVD, Blu-Ray, or 4K discs to be obnoxious. Ejecting the disc tray and closing it a few times normally resolves this issue. The same DVD and Blu-Ray discs work fine in other players, namely our PS4 and PS5. We've also encountered quite a bit of skipping, frame drops, and just outright picture loss. Again, does not happen with the same disc in other devices.
When it does work the picture looks great. It's just a shame that every time we go to watch a movie there is a high probability of some error occurring when either trying to start the movie or during the movie.

This unit will play DVD's, Blu-Ray, HDR (4k Ultra) and CD's and from a USB device or network media server. The setup is easy and it can connect to your network via an ethernet cable or wireless. It also has Bluetooth and will connect to paired headphones or speakers! The volume control on the remote is not universal, and it will only connect to 14 of the main TV brands. It also has built-in apps for Amazon Prime Video, Netfix and YouTube

Locks up, not very responsive, *slow*.

I have the X800, not the X800M2. Mine boots slow, about 10 seconds minimum. Splash screen sits there a long time, and is in 480p. No option to upgrade the menu and splash screen to 1080p. Does not always recognize theres a disc in the tray at startup, I often must hit eject twice to get it to recognize the disc. Three times it has frozen up completely and wont even turn off, so I must unplug it. Takes forever just to turn off! I hit the button on the remote and it's 18 seconds later the LED is off. ***Wow.*** For the HDMI controls, its often overridden by the TV - I hit play, and my Yamaha reciever opts for the TV input (over fiber optic) rather than the higher bandwidth feed straight from the HDMI from the player. Annoying, but you may not get that if you use a 4k enabled amp (mine is 1080p compatible fed by the second HDMI output for audio). Menu is very slow to boot apps. Does not always remember the position you were at on a disc, so I must often navigate to the position I was at... I would definitely go with Panasonic if I had to do it again - never had issues like these with my Panasonic Blu-Ray player.

Bought to replace my Blu-Ray player in my PS3 when that player would no longer play DVDs. Connected easily and interfaces well with my LG TV.
