What customers say about "Features"

Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player

Very pleased with my UBP-X800 I've had many Blu Ray over the years and this is the best all the features but one you could want.
Love the Bluetooth feed for headphones.
Top quality blu ray that plays everything from ultra 4K to dvds picture and sound is excellent
This player is so solid & looks very well built, lots of features
Video quality (and audio with it) great. Firing up a CD really shows off music skills as well - easily a replacement for one box hifi

Samsung UBD-M9500 UBD 4K Blu Ray Player

What a fantastic player with an incredible amount of apps for streaming.
I have my M9500 playing through a Samsung QLED 55". If you do not have a smart tv, this player comes with all the internet connections. It replays UHD bluray brilliantly and standard bluray very well.
The player itself is not bad, not stellar either. There are no uncommon features and nothing that would worth posting a review (either bad or good). It's all dependent on the disc itself.
Very pleased with DVD player - smart looking unit with good quality sound, very clear picture and it was very easy to install.
Rejects Blu-ray discs that play in Panasonic machines

What customers say about "Outputs"

Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Player

Can load up a USB stick with music as well, all controlled via the app (can also control via TV).
It linked to my network immediately and, as such, provides a very reliable connection to the inbuilt apps.
Upscales all my music whether from CD or USB to an amazing quality of sound.
The ability to play any file types that you offer it from either the usb slot or over your home network is the icing on the cake for me.
Great to find 2 HDMI outputs allowing direct video to TV and audio connection to an older receiver that does not support HDR.

Samsung UBD-M9500 UBD 4K Blu Ray Player

Brilliant and beautiful piece of technology, easy to use and looks fantastic, fits in perfectly with my tv and the ports are easily accessed.
Audio is now fantastic thru my soundbar for both Netflix and Prime because the highest quality sound (usually Dolby Digital but some PCM) is going from the Blu Ray Player from Netflix and Prime into the soundbar via the 2nd HDMI.
Paired to a Samsung Q led 6 55" 4K TV, fantastic up-scaling, makes for a great viewing experience. Worth the money.
All really needed is a Either a USB or HDMI for power, and a optic cable! Common Samsung! Do it for me!
