Quote from EngineerDude :
Same price as when I bought it last December, which probably isn't surprising given inflation. Very highly recommended if your TV supports Dolby Vision but is cheap and/or has a poor built-in upscaler.

I bought the $250 65" 4K Hisense TV from last year's Black Friday sale at Best Buy. My old Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-Ray player output at 1080p, with the Hisense doing the upscaling to (or in the case of DVD's, the rest of the way to) 4K. Swapped it out for this player, which of course does all of the upconverting to 4K by itself. Night and day difference in the video/picture quality between the two players on the same cheap TV.
That makes sense. Most TVs will almost always do a better job "upscaling," which is why I'm not fond of the gimmicky sales-points touting upscalers on players and especially receivers.
Isn't there a setting there to turn the upscaler off on this Sony?

I enable dv and just leave it. Is that wrong?
Yes, I have the player, if I leave DV on and play a non DV content, there is a greenish hue added to the screen. At least it was this way when I first got the player

Quote from RakhepriY :
It's not so bad cause you only have to turn it on one time. It's not like the settings reset each time you put a new movie in.
Well, I turn it off when the disc I'm watching doesn't have DV in case it messes up the picture, but I'm not sure that's necessary. Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal. It plays discs really well and the PQ is excellent! I think it even upscales really well.

Is there a benefit I'm unaware of by using this over say a new Xbox?
xbox series x, or any of them for that matter, don't support dolby vision. not sure if they'll add it in the future as they just added dv to select games. fingers crossed!

Personally, I don't think so. But to some extent, it depends on the individual. Both PS5 and XBox Series X do not support Dolby Vision or HDR10+ for 4K-Blu-ray playback. If (a) you have a large collection of 4K Blu-ray's, (b) not having access to those HDR formats is a problem for you, AND (c) you can afford it; then you might consider buying a standalone player. But for most people it's not worth it. If you own a new gen console anyway, then just make the best of that.

Both XBox Series X and PS5 support the latest audio codecs. However only XBox Series X supports Dolby vision for streaming apps. Like I said, neither supports it for Blu-ray playback. Purists believe that PS5 otherwise makes for a better 4K blu-ray player, but personally I think that's a wash. Enthusiasts often show comparative screenshots. The difference is usually minor to non-existent and not worth any real consideration.

This model has been out for years. How come price still hasn't come down yet?

Recent reviews seem mostly bad:

YMMV, but we had an absolutely AWFUL experience with this player.

Constant freezing/skipping issues occurred on two different units.. even when using brand-new, perfectly-spotless 4K discs.

Never could just sit and enjoy a movie; always waiting for the skip or jump. Interface is like a Windows 95 program, and though we never used it for streaming, it seemed really overly simple and clunky.

Can't recommend enough that you look elsewhere for a budget player, or spend up for something a little more reliable.

It's usually been "on sale" for $199.00, retail $248 or so...

This is one of the lowest-priced 4K players (for a reason).

I got this player 2-3 years ago at below $120. It is an okay player. The interface is not very well designed and it is on the slow side in response. I was surprised to receive a software update on it recently. It seems they are still selling this as a current model. It has a second HDMI port for audio output. You don't need optical cable for audio. Indeed, optical is outdated technology as it does not carry Atmos.

Would you show me how to play a 4k BluRay on Shield?
For streaming, there are many better choices.
