The technology has been out for years and even though it provides better picture/sound quality over streaming, it's not very popular.... by now, it should be priced at 20% over 1080p Blu-ray players.

two months. that's weird it would take long to start? maybe it's a drive issue? is also heard that it was an issue but recent firmware updates fixed it.
the problem is the issue is anecdotal evidence so it's hard as consumers to nail down, and it's probably like 2% of units but those 2% are 100% vocal about it.
I really like it, I got it for the same price. That said, the Panasonic are probably a better deal, but I have an SACD and DVDA library that I want to be able to play and while this can play them the Panasonic models cannot.
edit: actually I have the 800M2, so not sure what the exact differences are.
I disagree regarding Redbox, I for one rent from them regularly.
As a matter of fact it helps me preview whether I would want to own it later.
People have been saying disc are on the way out for the longest but it's not happening anytime soon IMO.
Take for instance Black Widow, watched it when it came out at home.
Around here Redbox doesn't offer UHD so rented the BD version.
On line offered DV & Atmos, the BD disc had neither.
Watching the BD disc using a Panasonic player, IMO the BD disc was better on both the PQ & AQ.
We know the UHD disc won't go down in quality since it will have DV & object based soundtrack upgrades.
The positive about streaming IMO is I can wait for sale on it for around $10-12 range and I can easily sell the digital code for around $5.
$5-7 for best PQ & AQ quality seems pretty reasonable to me.
Now if putting a disc into a player is "much less convenient" vs top quality I would say is a personal decision.
Thanks, from the blog mentioned by Madpup before seems it's not eARC . But if you tv has eARC or ArC out, and you r connecting ur blue ray with the tv and tv with 900, sound should come for all cases unless there is more surprise.
I m hearing abt a gadget called HDFurrt arcana which claimed to be solving such issue but it's pretty expensive and too me look like a trial n error gambling
On topic, I've had this player for over a year now and think it's a good economical alternative to the DV Panasonic players. The Dolby Vision setting is somewhat annoying but I've settled on simply leaving it enabled all the time and haven't noticed any detrimental color to speak of. The reports of skipping problems were mostly attributed to setting up the player in a hot or none ventilated environment, such as placing it on top of a receiver.
I kinda have to agree with you on disc offering but it hasn't been on blockbuster type movies though.
Another example on why the quality of the player is important.
I can tell you 1st hand this player vs a Panasonic player, Panasonic will upscale those DVD's and BD disc significantly better.
Another good example on how DV isn't as big advantage as portrayed, even you point out you don't see a big color difference.
The Panasonic 420 goes down to this same price and IMO is much better overall player.
I also had issues with this player, one big reason I looked elsewhere.
If you're putting anything on top of a receiver, have to question the intelligence!

Apple TV for streaming with Atmos
It didn't bug me as I knew what he was trying to say. Good to know there are people like you out there making this world a better place.
Hmmm so let me get this straight you only watch a movie once every 5 years and you only rewatch after that because you completely forget it!? 🤔
If you don't forget, why do you watch it again?
I'm not sure what the relevance it is between the quality of disc vs streaming and how much you pay for each?
This player solved that and more. As for the second audio out that this player has - it was perfect for me.
My XSX goes into my TV (LG OLED) HDMI 2.1 input. The TV's eARC/ARC port feeds a ThenAudio SHARC which converts the TVs eARC signal (the lossless formats) to ARC that my aging (but still goody) pre/pro can understand. Encountering the various issues with the XSX as a Blu-ray player I mentioned earlier - I purchased the player - 4K HDMI into another input of the TV, and the audio out heads straight for the pre/pro - which it recognizes immediately and decodes all the formats I need.
Now Blu-ray spinning is a nice, smooth affair: 4K picture with a nice sound field to match.
Well depends how important that occasional Blu Ray disc play is to you because the Apple TV 4K does not play disc.
If you need both this will do that, as people have pointed out streaming is not a strong feature on players.
Just make sure it has or can add the platforms you use or interested in.
Apple TV 4K or Roku Ultra if you need a Streamer that support atmos.
This is 4K upscaling Blu-ray player

( Same reasoning behind HDD being very affordable and 1 TB drives no longer costing $250)
If 4K players were under $100 more people would buy one.
"not sure how you can arbitrarily arrive at 20% more for the price."
I used to be in the electronic businesses and 20%~25% was the standard mark-up between new tech and previous gen but I am certain that you have your own opinion of what it should be,,,,
Realistically 30-50% more than Blu-Ray players.
People aren't buying movies on disc anymore with all the streaming services. The cost of the player is not the limiting factor.
Not really comparable to HDD drives that are manufactured in extremely high numbers.
