What customers say about "Features"

LG UBK90 4K Ultra HD HDR Dolby Vision Blu-ray Player

Netflix and YouTube performance is top notch.
If you have Dolby atoms set up, the sound is amazing.
A great player for the price, hardly any settings to bother with, hdr10 or dolby vision or dolby atmos will be picked up by the player.
I purchased this unit mainly for the Dolby Vision feature. I can honestly say disks with Dolby Vision look better played on this machine verses played on a player without Dolby Vision.
Has Dolby Vision which is usually only available in more expensive players.

Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player - Black

Standard dvds do appear to be better quality although the player I replaced was very old!
Upscaling feature for ordinary DVD'S is brilliant. Makes all DVD'S appear in 4k ultra picture.
Plays 4k Blu Rays. In 4k definition. Preferably on a 4k telly.
Upscaling also seems to be pretty impressive on my set and do not have a premium model.
I purchased some UHD Discs and the picture so vivid and striking with the few I have played thus far.

What customers say about "Outputs"

LG UBK90 4K Ultra HD HDR Dolby Vision Blu-ray Player

My UBK90 is connected directly to a 2016 LG OLED TV via a 4K approved HDMI cable.
Easy set-up. Glad it has the 2 HDMI outs (one for video and one for audio) that lets you use it with older receivers that don't support 2.2.
Loads quickly and is quiet. Has 2 HDMI ports and a optical port.
Best part is the hdmi 2 audio only output that supports dolby atmos, which I can send directly to my av receiver without having to buy a new receiver.
I use the separate HDMI to port for audio out and it made a huge difference in my surround sound movies and music.

Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player - Black

I connect the player to a soundbar via the HDMI 2 audio output.
It also had an HDMI audio out so you can plug in your sound-bar if you have one.
Great player so far, very quiet, very simple to set up, comes with 2 hdmi outs, perfect if your av receiver cannot pass Dolby Vision.
Two hdmi cables, audio to amp, video directly to tv, and it just worked.
Thank goodness for the separate audio-only hdmi out. My UK hi-fi amp/receiver could not handle both standard HD and 4K video signals tho' claiming 4K compatibility.
