Sony - UBP-X1100ES - 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-Ray Player - Black

Had the UB9000 for about 2 weeks. It was horrible. Had so many limitations with it. Wouldn't even play a Dolby Atmos test file from Dolby Labs via USB, nor upconvert anything via USB to Dolby Vision or pass through virtually any formatted audio, including DTS or Dolby Digital. The Panasonic couldn't even play MKV files. Got the Sony X1100ES today. Immediately impact. Played any content I threw at it. Passed threw audio/video crystal clear, all audio formats pass successful. Finally a Bluray player to even passthrough and cooperate with eARC between my Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar and LG CX TV. Amazing player! I used to be an Oppo user. Don't fall for the Panasonic hype. Buy a Sony. Even have the X700 a $200 player and it beats the UB9000 in playing any content and passing through all audio formats from any sources.

Set up was quick and easy. Atmos and DTS-X sound awesome!! I have the sound and Pic going through an 8K HDMI cable into an Onkyo TX-RZ3100. I do not have a 4K TV yet (Will be buying a Sony 75” 950G soon), but it will play 4K Blu-rays on my old 2K Sony TV. I will write another review when I get the TV.

After getting a 4K tv, 73x950h, I needed to get a 4K Blue ray player! My old player was a Oppo 103. The Oppo was great but not 4K. This new Sony is fantastic. The Sony is a little slow to turn on and load. Wish the display was a little bigger but at least there is one. The Sony remote is nothing special but that doesn’t really matter as I am using a Logitech universal remote. I was thinking a need to get the 4K version of some of the Blue Rays in my collection. The upconvert really made the non 4K movies looked like 4K! The only other negative is the player doesn’t automatically switch to Dolby Vision. You need to dig into the settings to change. Solid build on this unit.

what a time to be alive when front displays on a $600 player is a premium feature!! Besides that, the unit delivers excellent picture and sound quality. so far I havent had any issues with discs freezing or stalling. sure it has inconveniences - no auto detection of hdr, basic non backlit remote, but, they dont bother me. people that complain about it having bare bones for streaming options are buying this for the wrong reason. every d*mn tv has streaming capabilities built in and are probably implemented better on the tv than on this player.

For the longest time I would simply use my PlayStation 4 for my Blu-ray player. More recently I upgraded my TV to the 950H and to the PlayStation 5 digital. I decided to go with Sony's top-of-the-line Blu-ray player because of all the good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The unit is responsive, quiet, has great video fidelity, and amazing audio for my Z9F sound bar. You can't get this kind of high quality output from streaming or lesser players. It's pricey but if you can afford it it's worth it.

This is a fantastic blu-ray player. It plays every type of disc, minus HDCD, of which there were only a few thousand cd titles coded in this format. It loads disc's extremely fast, and makes your music cd's sound even better! Plus, for streaming, it is incredibly good, granted I've got 866 mbps at my disposal. It's probably the best player you can get now that OPPO and Samsung have bowed out of producing 4K blu-ray players. I unequivocally give it 5 stars. I've had it for 1 month now and have had zero issues with it! I simply don't think you can go wrong. Plus it's connected to my Sony X950H 65 inch Bravia LCD TV with the same X1 Ultimate processor as their 85 inch Master Series! Bravo Sony!!!

Having just purchased the Sony UBP-X1100ES blu-ray player, what can I say but WOW!! The picture and sound are Pristine!! Not a deal breaker for me that it doesn't automatically switch to Dolby Vision!! I see everyone making it a big deal but I'm fine with it! The player loads fast and it is SUPER quiet when playing a disc. It also has tons of features when it comes to tweaking the video and audio contents. Regarding the fact that it only comes with 3 apps, again not a deal breaker! To me, this product is first and foremost a blu-ray player and not a streaming machine! I use my Smart TV if I want to stream content and not the player. Sony? You have really outdone yourselves this time with this wonderful player and No One does it better than Sony!! If you want the Best that's out there, this doesn't get any better guys!!

I just got this player 2 days ago was skeptic on how it would work my Sony x800 m2 had a problem with locking up and having to unplug constantly very annoying .so far in the couple days I have had it. It plays everything I have . Although my gripe is probably what a lot of people are saying that when in Dolby vision set to on it outputs everything in Dolby vision I wish they would have had it so could switch automatic .the HDR and Dolby Vision picture performs clean and the sound seems better then the 800 m2 on my Sony STR DN1080 receiver with my Sony Z9f television it seems to take full advantage.
