Maybe something that is good to mention here: The Panasonic UB820 and UB9000 have an auto detection function for HDR10/HDR10+/Dolby Vision, but if a disc contains both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision (Which I, at first, wasn't even aware of that it existed), both players default to HDR10+ and you have to disable HDR10+ detection in the player's menu if you want to watch the content in Dolby Vision. ;)

I got the Sony UBP x700m over two years ago and it has played 4k discs flawlessly. At first irksome having to manually turn Dolby Vision on or off, but it's quick and easy with just a few clicks and I quickly got used to it. Or just leave it on auto HDR and forget about Dolby...I really can't tell the difference on my set, and HDR looks fantastic already. I paid just $150 new on Amazon sale and every year in the fall it goes on sale for under $170.

I’ve had the Sony x700 since 2019 and it still works fantastic. I love how it upscales my blu rays to Dolby vision, it looks almost 4k quality. I’ve been thinking of upgrading to the ub820 but I figured there’s really no benefit and I’m just wasting money.

I have been using the Sony X700 for a while now and aside from supporting 4K HDR and Dolby Vision/Atmos, and DTS:X, it can also play back SACD and DVD-A. I do have a couple of SACDs and a DVD-A discs so it makes me happy that I can play these back without having to buy extra gear specifically for those formats. I may be mistaken but I believe the X700 can also playback 3D movies. I had a look at my X700's settings and found some settings for 3D output. I don't watch 3D movies and my TV does not support 3D so this feature is not important to me at all. The manual switching on and off of Dolby Vision is only a minor inconvenience though. The other downside I can say is that I have experienced some skipping and freezing issues with the X700 while other times, the whole thing just ran smoothly. I am not sure though if it's the device or the disc that's defective.

LG UBK90 is a good competitor to the Sony X700. Super basic interface but quick load times, auto detect Dolby Vision, 3D support, Dual HDMI out for those with older receiver /processor that don't support Dolby Vision pass thru. Reavon owner here, YES IT DOES DO DOLBY VISION AUTO DETECT! Where did you get the idea it doesn't? The better option is the X110 as it has both DVD-Audio and SACD support the Panansonic 9000 doesn't. I haven't used a Magnetar, but from what I have read and seen it is a better player than the Reavon X200 but the X200 at it's price does offer analog 7.1 out for even older receiver/processors or multi channel SACD.

The Panasonic players also support 4k 'SDR' (I'm not talking about 4k HDR) playback in 10 bit, such as the Kino Lorber 'Dollars trilogy. The other players output 4K SDR in 8 bit...thereby reducing the quality down instead of playing it in true 10 bit. Also, the Panasonic players perform test pattern playback better when using the spears and munsil test discs. There are less jaggies and noise, practically none. In real world content on TV screens when pixel peeping, its probably not noticeable. But, for the perfectionists out there, the Panasonic has the best video processing.

The navigation buttons are smaller than the Netflix button-- that always gets hit instead, abd and theyre at ghe very bottom of the remote. Also no subtitle button. Overall tho the Panasonic does seem like a better player than the Sony 700 but it still has issues the Sony is better for. Like it auto upscales dvd and BD to the 4k output accepted by the tv. Whereas the Sony allows you to turn off upscaling. It will still upscale DVD to 1080p tho.

@michaelbeckerman7532 Ай бұрын

I own the X700M, the X800M2 and the X1100ES from Sony. With all of them (and I use them all the time with my collection of over 50 4K movies) I have never once had any of them freeze or skip on any disc I have ever put into them. Do note here that it was determined that several disc stamping facilities out of Asia over the past few years were known to be putting incorrectly stamped/pressed defective discs out into the marketplace. Some of the Sony players were freezing at the layer boundary transition on many of those flawed discs. The freezing problem with these players was much more likely due to issues relating to those flawed discs rather than anything with the players themselves. As always though, be sure and keep your players up to date with the latest firmware updates. Sony is one of the very best companies out there when it comes to issuing updates for their players to keep them as up to date, issue-free and current as possible.

How is AI supposed to help with missing 8K-optimized codec-decoding hardware in streaming boxes and TVs? 8K eats up a huge amount of throughput when used with codecs that are better for 4K like HEVC, and VVC, which is a codec that is much more well-suited for 8K, cannot be decoded by most TVs or streaming boxes due to missing decoding hardware. As of this writing, the only TV hardware that decodes VVC is MediaTek’s Pentonic SoCs like the Pentonic 700 (mainstream 4K TV SoC), Pentonic 1000 (high end 4K TV SoC), and Pentonic 2000 (8K TV SoC). The first two are found in newer Hisense and Sony TVs respectively. Samsung’s and LG’s SoCs can’t decode VVC.

Fomo this is a good topic. Maybe you can do what's the best under $2k etc.

Panasonic UB9000 because the UI is just snappier - I don't believe the Magnetar's exotic parts improve image/audio quality for movies

@@stopthefomo You left out the Sony UBP-X1100ES player. How come? Easily one of the best 4K players of all time. Yes, that one is out of production now, but you can still find them for sale out on the web at great discounts. Far and away the single best and most capable 4K player for the price.

UBP-X700/M is terrible. Skips on all kinds of discs.

Panasonic DP-UB9000 has multi-region support.

@stopthefomo Ай бұрын

I think you also have to get a special firmware update as it's not OEM multi-region right?

I'd say I can't believe there are people blind Blu-ray players but based on the fact that Blu-ray players are still absurdly expensive, most people ARENT buying them. It was like this to some extent when VHS first csme out, but eventually the sales volume and competition brought prices down.. Under 500 bucks for a literal disc player, no way in hell. Especially since even with the expensive ones they're still lacking features...
