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

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.

I wouldn't buy a PS5, but if I did, only then would 4K blurays make sense for me currently.

"LOL LOL" !!!!! laugh out loud LMAO

lol yes I wouldn't pay the "high price" for a product designed to play games and happens to play movie disc either!
Especially when the quality is inferior to a much less expensive product designed to play movie disc!
Let's not forget that high priced inferior product doesn't support DV disc content!

Let me guess you stream 4k into a $700 4k display and "high priced" Atmos soundbar and it's exactly the same as disc!๐Ÿ˜‰

Nah. I just leave DV on and discs play perfectly fine.
It is good for you that you don't see the difference, but it has been pretty well established that it does indeed affect the picture negatively (when playing a non-DV discs with DV still turned on). Why not just turn it off -- like the manual says -- when playing a disc that doesn't support DV to get the best possible picture?

Doubtful being that a lot of places aren't even selling them anymore (like Target, Costco, and Sams Club). It looks like these are headed towards being a niche products -- if they aren't already -- so I don't think you are going to see economies-of-scale bring their price down in the future like you expect.

Thanks, you may be right. Repped.

If I have a Sony TV will it autodetect Dolby Vision media? Ive heard that outside the Panasonic UB820 all other other players in the game outside of the high end $1K models have DV autodetect, and the ones that do arent consistent w/ brand compatibility issues.

There are Cheap 4K players but they seem to lack as many features and functions as some of the more expensive devices.

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.

Had this player for a few years. It's no frills, ugly menus, but who cares it's DV for cheap. It's fine. No playback issues with 30+ different discs. All good.

We can't answer your first question unless we know your tv is capable of playing DV content. If it is, then the player will send that signal and you're all good.

I have a tv that supports DV, Sony x900H, but ive read that Sony BD players dont support autodetect & apply function and only manual entry for DV output.

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

I sold my Sony and got the Panasonic because it's been reliable every single time. I don't have to manually switch between DV and HDR. If Sony had better QA this would not have been an issue. My PS3 was my very first Blu-ray player bought it used in 2010 and it's still going strong 14 years later. Thing is loud as a jet unfortunately.

its 2024 now, why people need this thing?

In order to play a disc, you would need something to put the disc into right? Hence for people who prefer physical media, they will still be a need for disc players even in 2024 and beyond.

Sony players are the only ones that require you to manually switch DV on/off.
Your display does not change that while playing physical media.

The controversy/debate is what happens if you just leave DV on.
I provided what Sony themselves says what happens if you do.
