Thanks... You are the only reviewer who elaborate on the media apps and the absence of the app store on this Sony br disc player and this what I have been looking for for days on RUclips before I make a decision to buy one, thank you.
Hi, how does the 4k video quality compare with oppo 203 or the Panasonic ub 802? I know both units may have superior DAC inside, but I have a receiver for the sound part. So really want to know if the picture quality is similar or a huge noticeable difference. Thanks
Just got mines yesterday & I love it. I'm surprised how well the motion is for my movies from my usb. It only supports 2Ghz Wi-Fi which I'm upset bout.
Any owners confirm if they have finally released firmware to allow dolby vision to switch automatically each time and not have to manually slect? Also is dolby atmos only from drive or also from usb port?
Luke MTECH Happened once in a while so far I've tried about 10 discs. What I do is fast forward a bit and it should play fine. Though you will miss few seconds to a minute of footage. Or you can try cleaning the disc
Had it for $130! I only use it to play usb files and bd-r movie files and discs. No streaming for me. But I already ran into two problems. 1) no support for 8Tb external HD, only up to 4Tb for now, 2) no Dolby Atmos support for mkv files (only discs). Menu was the crappiest I've ever seen since dvd player (simple like DOS). Still totally worth it for $130 but not if it's $200!
I got this player based on your review that it "impressed you" with it's USB playback. I tried powered USB hard drives, portable USB hard drives and flash (thumb) drives. NONE WORK. I also tried formatting as exFAT, FAT32 and NTFS - all of which are supposed to work according to Sony... NONE WORK. So anyone who wants to use this as a USB media player forget it. It doesn't work for that AT ALL.
@@Revolver1981 Didn't buy it specifically for the apps, worded it wrong. Bought it for the disc player of course, but my LG TV is already very sluggish, so more built in apps would've been nice.
@@roscoe1972 is the picture quality really better on the Xbox. Was ur Xbox fully updated when compared them cuz I know they fixed some things. Just interested cuz I'm thinking of getting this player n wanted to know if it beats the Xbox in picture quality or is pretty much the same. Like is the hdr better n is the image sharper?
it's not technology advancing that makes them smaller my friend. It's chassis cost and build strength. As price competition increases they cut the build quality and therefore size.
I love it my upb-800 was heavy and kept freezing on some applications even movie sometime this one is much lighter in better to me it just doesn't have the high-res sound which I really didn't pay no attention to anyway but the picture quality is wonderful I don't understand the reviews why they trying to throw it in the mud it's a really good Blu-ray player I didn't buy it to look at Netflix no way
Thanks...

Mario Granados You better get it soon as the price is already at its lowest $130. Got mine last week and still testing daily
Thanks for the enlightening video.
Does this player (Sony UBP-X700) recognize DTS or Dolby format through usb video files (mkv and mp4)?

how are the mkv subtitles rendered? do they look nice or do they look "pixely"?
I can't get to stream in Dolby Atmos. When I go to streaming from my TV Atmos comes through fine, Any Suggestions,

Dose it play mp4
How player deals with the upscaling of blu ray movies to 4k ?
Can it play 4K HDR content from USB
Yes
@@Karanic4 Thank you
How does it fare when running 4k disk rips from the LAN? Can you install plex on it?
can it support external subtitle via USB storage device?
This is so handsome player as hell!
Can you play regular Blu Ray disc on this 4k Sony player
Yes and DVD
That's a silly question.

I had mine one day and the movie froze and I tried to restart it wouldn’t power back up.
Metoo, several times, very disappointing for a sony product.

Why is it that mine doesn't have nearly as many apps? I bought it for all the apps but I only have a view? And I'm up to date
The app availability is dependent on what region you live in.
That's foolish buying a 4K Blu-ray Player for the apps. It's a disc player. All the apps you need are on your TV.
@@Revolver1981 Didn't buy it specifically for the apps, worded it wrong. Bought it for the disc player of course, but my LG TV is already very sluggish, so more built in apps would've been nice.
Is the Xbox One S the better option since it does a lot more? You can find it less than $200 now.
Just got the One X and sadly the UHD player is hot garbage. Bought the Sony x700 and the pic quality is stunning in comparison.
@@roscoe1972 about one x has something Dolby Atmos problems, my lucky, i don't have it, because i m not xbox mens at all.

Never had a problem connecting to the internet with Netflix
I only use mine to play disks I got my smart TV laptop and phone for Netflix and RUclips

I have the LG UBK90 and it's nearly twice the size.

I’d buy if it’s region free
Region free players are on Amazon. You don't get region free players in the stores.
