I went through three x700s that all froze or showed corrupted video roughly halfway through a number of 4k discs. These same 4k discs would then play fine on a XBox One X. I always assumed it was just some layer transition issue that seemed to be fairly common with Sony players based on how many times I saw other people complain of similar issues.

After giving up on Sony, I went with the "fan favorite" Panasonic UB820. I haven't had any issues with it, and it just generally looks better with both 4K discs and upscaling standard blu-rays. Also something to keep in mind with the UB820 is that it's one of the Panasonic players that lets you bypass some region locks on Region B/C discs.
I've had this 4k Blu-Ray player since 2018. My experience has mostly been good. One note: this player has an automatic sleep mode after 15 or 20 minutes. As far as I know, it can't be disabled. This winds up being really annoying if you pause a show or movie that doesn't read where you left off watching. Breaking Bad on Blu-Ray is one example.
This isn't a fix. I had this player, followed these instructions, and still had issues.

These players are just very hit or miss, some are good, others aren't.

If you buy, play some 4k discs during your return window and make sure ya got a good one

I've had mine since 2020. Love it, no issues, just get the settings right up front and should be good. No reader issues on 60+ 4K discs I've played through.

If you plan on playing SACD read this [audioholics.com] so you know what setting to change.

Didn't help, don't have to do that with Panasonic it just works.
Another plus is the PQ looks better with all 3 disc formats.

Don't forget to turn on/off DV when needed, Sony states it's required.
Nah. I just leave DV on and discs play perfectly fine.

Quote from MAK1981 :
Any thoughts on this? Reviews are really strong, but I've been reading some freezing and Dolby Video complaints. Wondering if it's legit or just Panny fanboys.

"If you're also a gamer, it may be worth taking a look at the Xbox One S, which can play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs with HDR10, and costs just a touch more than the UBP-X700."
Hmm, that's an oddly not-glowing statement in an otherwise glowing review. You can get XB1S's used for $50 all over the place. No DV, though.

Almost always $160 for this thing. Not the greatest, not bad, I would wait for the Panasonic 820 which is the best

Wait to pay 2-3x as much for something that does the exact same thing? laugh out loud

This reminds me of when 1080p Bluray players first came out. Prices need to drop a lot more on 4K Bluray players.

It's best for slickdealers to simply wait until they are $100 or $50, imo.
Right...how long you gonna wait?? 10 years? SMH.

Yes, right indeed. Poor attempt and big fail since you contribute to high prices! Ha ha SMH !

If everyone waited, prices would be much cheaper.

For now, 4K Blurays only make sense if one already wants or has a PS5 or compatible XB imo.

One very good thing about 4K Blurays are that they are physical media, which is infinitely superior to digital media. Of course, it would be absurd if those buying 4K Bluray players are not also buying physical switch and other games whenever possible, rather than digital games they could end up losing forever. Gotta be consistent! nod

[YCbCr (4:4:4)]: Outputs YCbCr 4:4:4 video signals.
[RGB]: Outputs RGB video signals.
b
Not available when [Dolby Vision Output] is set to [On].
x [HDMI Deep Color Output]

[Off]: Select this when the picture is unstable or colors appear unnatural.
