Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is a very good 4k player. I got it for the dolby vision.

4k is great. Great great sound. Love it!!!!!!!!!!¡!

I replaced an 80q Samsung (see seperate review of that set), this picture is incredible and the colors are vibrant. Not too many adjustments are needed to make you feel like your in the movies or at the game. Should have bought this one first, live and learn.

I love this 4K bluray player. I bought a 2nd one because one day these will be fazed out so had to have an extra because physical media is king while streaming is trash

Fantastic image and sound quality. Exactly what I wanted in a player. Simple interface. I dont have fo navigate through a bunch of menus dedicated to streaming services. I have a Roku for that. I wanted this specifically for my discs.

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.

First the Big Thing. It works! And the little things matter too. I like the size and the weight. Makes it stackable with it at the bottom then all the short narrow skinny stuff goes on top. Also the remote -- Best remote I've owned. My older players buttons were a mess and had me pressing wrong buttons all the time. I've owned this for less then a week, and DVDs, Blu Rays, and 4ks all play with great fidelity. All in all a very fine player that should, hopefully last a very long time.

This player works very well with my home theater. Very easy to use and high quality video.

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.

A definite upgrade. Do not sleep on this 4k player. The picture quality is excellent but, the sound quality is why I gave this 5 stars. I noticed a huge difference in how impactful and dynamic everything sounded. I mean instantly. So happy with this purchase. Yes, I caught it on sale, but, I still thinks it's worth the asking price. I have already purchased a second one for my room.

I bought this for black friday for 200 bucks to replace three year old Sony same model... because the older didn't have Dolby Vision yet and i have all the equipment to want this feature... everything else pretty much the same... just a great 4k player

This is a good 4K player. I was reaching for the top quality Sony 4K player. However, after a lot of consideration I returned this and got the lower model which is much more small and compact. I believe the quality is the same. This particular model offers Bluetooth sound capabilities, but I didn't end up needed that so I exchanged it for the next model down. No regrets. Either model you go with you will be pleased, but for me I rather save the extra money.

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.

The Sony UBP-X800M2 is just awesome! No more freezing problems like the cheaper models. I liked it so much that I had to buy my Mom one as well. All her movies now look even much better. This thing is heavy duty not feather weight like other cheap models. Works great!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

This was a replacement for the older version of the same model. I had had that one for nine years and used it frequently. It always performed well, and I was very happy with it. That is why I chose the same model as a replacement. I have only had this one for a couple of weeks. It is working well. I haven’t had a chance to get into its improved features. I don’t anticipate having any problems.
