It's a decent player and will play many non-US region blu-rays (but not all) without modification (unless there's been a recent firmware change that now disables it). Insert the disc. After it displays the region warning, press stop and then hit the top menu button twice (the first time it will give a "not supported" warning).
If you want the best sound and picture quality, 4k disc is the way to go.

My 10 year old son and I were streaming Rogue One the other day on Disney+. 4k with HDR. It looked great, but I told him I have the disc. Let's see if we can notice a difference.

I popped the disc in mid movie and we both felt the difference was obvious. The detail in the video was nicely improved. The sound was fuller and richer. The surround details were more distinct.
If you're a casual movie watcher who owns a low-end $500 TV then stick to streaming.

But for those of us who have a 5.1+ setup and a high end LED or OLED it is absolutely worth the money. 4k streaming is about the quality of a 1080p blu ray.

I was able to find an Open Box Fair for $96.00 $104 w/tax. I figure if its in rough shape easy return but for the $ still worth checking out.
I got an excellent certified but it did not meet the description of that condition. Best buy refunded to make it the price of the fair condition instead of me returning it so I kept it. Less than some people are asking for it used on marketplace and craigslist, and still in very good shape, it was missing the box so the biggest thing is the tape they used to attach the remote to it, dam stuff won't come off.

Thanks for the reply! It does matter, as my current UST projector is 4k and has ARC hdmi out only. Thus, I don't get Atmos but get Dolby digital plus 5.1. However, if I use HDMI eArc sound extractor then I get Atmos. This unit has dedicated Outputs for video and sound. So confirming if anyone experienced it.
Yes it should work if your sound bar has two hdmi inputs. The issue right now is that your projector does not just passthrough the audio from other sources, so it gets downgraded to what the projector can decode. So you could connect this right to the sound bar with the audio out so there is no issue with a device in the chain that is not capable. You might also check to see if your projector has a setting to just passthrough audio, ie not decode it, could also be called bit-stream.

Thanks Jonhern! That's what my thought is. Btw., projector doesn't have such audio settings as you advised. This player has limited streaming (Netflix, Prime and youtube) only but should be supporting the Atmos. I wish Disney+ would have been added as native app. I have ordered it.

For me the player was wrapped and all accessories were in new shape so I guess the pricing is subjective and set by the store, mine is like new condition only the box was rough.

Having compared them it is with all 3 formats but most likely isn't worth it if you play games IMO.

No. The disc player has nothing to do with it. I recently picked up an old Denon dvd/blu Ray transport from 2008 (DVD-2500BTCi, $1000 when new), which was created before atmos was even an idea. I used it the other day to watch Maverick in Atmos through my Denon x3600h AVR. Why are using hdmi "out" from a projector? Your disc player's output should go to your AVR, which should be connected to the "input" of your projector.

Your high end AVR has all bells and whistles that amplifies the signal. My Soundbar and projector don't need an AvR. Projector (Arc hdmi) downgrade the Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision signal to Dolby digital. I have tested and accomplished Dolby Atmos & vision from same Apple tv & fire stick using Hdmi eArc splitter and Picture quality enhancer. But it costed almost $400, still it's streaming. This player is steaming UHD natively and has dedicated HDMI out for sound. So, should meet the need

It matters because his Projector does not passthrough the audio. Most bluray players however do passthrough audio so you don't need one that can decode it, like the PS3 can do atmos even though it come out before atmos was a thing. The issue with his setup is he has a sound bar so no AVR. This player would solve his issue because it has two outputs, one for video one for audio, one can go to the projector and the other to the soundbar that will be able to decode atmos. Got to remember most people don't have AVRs.

So he has an atmos capable soundbar that doesn't have an hdmi output to his projector?

Your soundbar doesn't have an hdmi output to your projector? Connect player/steamer output to soundbar hdmi input and connect soundbar hdmi output to projector input, no?

as far as i know most soundbars do not act like an avr, they just connect to the tv/projector with hdmi and use arc for the audio. Other devices are connected to the tv/projector and audio goes to the soundbar through that arc connection, so if the tv can't passthrough audio then you wont get atomos or even true hd audio, just dobly digital. It has a lot of limitations since most tvs do not passthrough audio and caused so many issues when I had a soundbar many years ago. One of the many reasons not to get a soundbar but that's a different topic.

I have had a few projectors. They're always at the end of the signal chain. One reason being they're often way off in another part of the room from the sources. Sometimes 20 or more feet. Doesn't make sense to run all the sources to the projector. That's a lot of very long hdmi cables.
I looked up several atmos soundbars and they all had hdmi outputs to the display along with hdmi inputs from the sources.
