Are you acquiring these digital files legally? Obviously not since you can get them "anywhereeeeee".
Streaming services compress sound and video and claim it to be full 1440p when in actuality it never is. You also have to deal with licensing issues. You have never grown up in a time of physical media and it shows. Enjoy using your plex servers and streaming etc when your network is down or your set up fails. I'll enjoy playing UHD discs almost lossless with a top of the line player. People who buy this player are looking to use this in a home media set up and play their physical media disks while you torrent and throw files around your plex server and talk shit on a deal forum regarding the existence of physical media.

To this day, nothing beats the picture quality of a 4k Blu ray on a premium player like this. Steaming has a lot of compression, so even 1080P/ HD Blu Ray content looks better than 4k streamed content in my experience.
If you haven't compared them, or don't have an eye for picture quality details, then it's all the same. But once you see the difference, you can't un-see it.

The only way to play full FEL 4K blu rays is with this player or a sketchy player from AliExpress that has some set up curve and costs $150+ and a Remus that was acquired illegally.

Anyway,
I've been happy with my Sony UBP-X700, but with players getting scarce these days I'm thinking it might be worth picking up one of these as a backup.

And you can always rip them after renting for cheap somewhere if you really want to be straight and narrow.
You realize ripping a rental is also not legal, right? Have you gotten so far into this that you've lost touch with reality? People are asking for a completely legal way to get this content with these features. Even if you eventually come up with an answer that doesn't sidestep copyright laws, the more complicated this gets, the more it's worth it for some of us to just pay some money and not worry about all of the extra time. Time is valuable too...

I looked it up. Half the movies I own on Bluray or UHD are nowhere available streaming and the rights were pulled years ago.
Are there any advantages with this UB820 versus the X700 I am currently using in my current setup? I was planning on upgrading from the X700 when I upgrade my processor and projector. I don't watch a lot of 4k discs now because I prefer the 120" projector for movies compared to the 65" C1.

There's different level to things, just like there's bottom shelf alcohol and premium spirits.
