We couldn't (and shouldn't) overlook the player's new BT.2020 color spaces. Bringing different scenes to life with striking highlights, deep darks, and vibrant colors, this HDR solution creates the most immersive and engaging cinematic experience at home. At the same time, the player's ability to massively increase peak brightness, all while retaining deep and highly-detailed blacks, will elevate the viewing experience even further than before. Supporting HDR10, the device is able to produce 100 times the brightness compared to the standard SDR signal. However, we wouldn't recommend taking its HDR tech for granted. Sure, the player's 4K Ultra HD support pretty much goes without saying considering the product's relatively recent release date. Of course, as much as the people at Sony care about aesthetics, it is the product's specs that make its case here. In other words, the device is compact enough to not impose on that precious entertainment center space that you probably want to conserve. Its measurements are pretty standard, adding up to 15 x 12 x 4 inches and weighing ~3 pounds. We're not saying that the device will be able to enrich most spaces but, at the very least, the player will be able to disappear into its surroundings and make an excellent addition to most modern settings. Its polished accents and smooth curves elevate the product's appearance beyond its affordable price tag. The streamlined glossy profile looks elegant and about as tasteful as these players can look. Generally speaking, we can completely get behind the company's aesthetics and this product fits that mold as much as the next Sony device. The Sony UBP-X700 is as affordable as mid-range Blu-ray players come without compromising playback quality and functionality.

People whose TV is already fitted with Smart functionality will find this product more than good enough.
Blu-ray players' appearance is not something that matters the most but we'd like to see some improvements next time, maybe make the profile more streamlined, maybe the buttons less clunky.Įven taking that into account though, the LG UBK80 is impressive in its own right. The device's footprint and outline are uninspired, no two ways about it. Adding more, the model's adopting noise reduction tech, minimizing interferences and offering precise image expression. That being said, we would recommend upscaling that content since LG's upscaling tech is pretty good, reproducing outdated pictures with stunning clarity. You can watch legacy content too as the device is backward compatible.
Second, the model's also compatible with 4K Ultra HD content, transporting you from dull, lifeless imagery into the world brimming with crisp, detailed, nuanced, and sharp visuals. First things first, you're offered HDR support, making the contrast bold and the colors vibrant. This surround sound tech treats sounds as separate objects, releasing them to move without restrictions, flowing around and even above you to make the experience immersive, enveloping, and beyond engaging.įrom the video playback angle, the device is not trailing behind too. But the Dolby Atmos® technology is something that's usually reserved for premium models, so the surprise was nice, to say the least. The DTS-HD Master Audio support is basically obligatory as far as these players are concerned, we get that. The model's more basic than we've come to expect from mid-range players, though not from the audio standpoint. Using this system, you'll be navigating through these apps and services with intuitive ease, organizing them as you please. On the upside, the company's SIMPLINK™ feature has not gone anywhere, connecting the TV to outside apps and different services.

Besides that, the device is fitted with limited tech, lacking audio upscaling software and maybe a Wi-Fi module to enable video streaming, something that most Blu-ray players within this price bracket are seldom manufactured without. Starting with the latter, the HDMI cable that the model's shipped with is pretty short, not the biggest issue but unpleasant nonetheless.
Sitting comfortably at the mid-range segment, the device has its moments but also its flaws.
