Noticeably Poorer Picture then direct from a smart Sony 4K UHD TV

Im very dissapointed in the Sony UDP-X700 due to its picture and user interface. Im using the player with a new Sony X900F TV so some comparisons to that are used. Read on for my evaluation: -- TV DOES EVERYTHING EXCEPT PLAY DISCS. The Sony TV x900F does everything the Blue-ray player does expect pl...

Bought an A8H OLED TV, do I need a 4k bluray player that has Dolby Vision?

The UBP-X700 supports Dolby Vision, and that's one of their cheapest UHD players. I'd get that one if you don't want to spend extra for the higher models. Oh, and it should be mentioned Sony's UHD players require Dolby Vision to be turned on/off manually.

No auto-detect for Dolby Vision and no 802.11ac are dumb choices from Sony

The UBP-X700 is generally a fine performance upgrade in many ways from the UBP-X800 model. An immediately noticeable d...

Everything works well like Dolby Atmos, except for my large blu ray collection that plays as Stereo PCM when using various DTS formats. I use a 4k Sony ubp-x700 player. I assumed I would get PCM 5.1 with this update. I was thinking of upgrading to a 4k player that can covert DTS (apparently the Sony ubp-x800m2 can).

Meets most of my needs

I bought this to pair with my LG OLED TV. I was on the fence about whether or not to buy into the 4K blu-ray ecosystem as I feel the industry has really screwed that up. I was looking for some middle ground here, particularly on price. The Sony X700 is the cheapest, quality player that supported eve...
