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.
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 looked up several atmos soundbars and they all had hdmi outputs to the display along with hdmi inputs from the sources.
I'm certainly no expert on atmos soundbars, but the ones I looked up had hdmi ins and outs listed in the specs. You'd think the output would go to the display and the inputs would be for players like this. Either way, this is the first time I've read of someone using a soundbar with a projector.
I have standard blu-ray now, but don't really understand all the 4k requirements. Dolby/HDR10 etc.
I have an older pansonic blu-ray (non 4k) that I run through my surround sound receiver and then up to the projector.
Just trying to see if this will give a better picture with my setup.
Thanks for your help

Yes it will be a benefit.
It will play both BD & 4K disc and scale both content to the best ability of the 3800.
What model soundbar do you have?
Bose 900 along with bass module 700 and surround speakers.
That's too bad. Atmos soundbars from Samsung, LG, JBL, Vizio, etc. have HDMI ins and out so they sort of act like a source switcher for multiple video inputs. That would easily solve your issue.

The latest is 1.69, is that the one you're talking about?

Long answer: You're getting HDR support with this player that you most likely don't have with your current player, so it will improve your picture with 4k HDR content. The Epson 3800 doesn't support Dolby Vision which makes the UB420 a good, affordable match since the main thing it gives up vs the UB820 is Dolby Vision support. Once set up, the UB420 will handle tone mapping of the HDR content automatically.
Search this review for "tone mapping" and it gives a good overview of basic settings to get you going...
