My “open box excellent” unit arrived in what I would describe as less than excellent. Maybe good but not excellent. The dummies even shipped it in the factory box without any extra protection. Hooked...

If you got the money, Kaleidoscape is the best streaming, sometimes better than physical 4K, in terms of bitrate. They have a few movies bigger than 100GB.

No. Streaming compression is good when used appropriately. Very few services do that. To my knowledge, only Bravia Core and Apple TV are anywhere near the bitrate of physical media. Everyone else is...

That's crazy. A Dolby Vision license is $250?

Yes, but modern compression is pretty incredible. The best 4k streaming content can look great: depending on the scene and what you're watching it on. I've seen reviewers watching a movie purchased...

I picked up an open box / excellent from Best Buy and shipped to home, the last time the price dropped on this player and the 820, a little after Black Friday I believe. Unit has performed flawlessly...

I believe video bits rates are notably higher with physical media -- more data equates to a better image.

I totally agree but do you honestly think the average Joe understands that? I explained why 4k TVs sell (orders of magnitude) better than 4k BR players. Like it or no, indicators point to 4k BR...

Perhaps you haven't heard of streaming? ;) I would be willing to bet the vast majority aren't buying discs and are instead watching their 4k via streaming. Those major retailers didn't stop...

Is 4k niche? I am an outlier with HT stuff but I thought there was a decent market segment there. I know ppl are buying 4k TVs. Are they buying 4k TVs and watching DVD and BluRay?

I think part of the problem is these players in general are becoming niche items that don't sell a lot of volume so that (on top of inflation) is likely driving the prices higher. Stores like...

Oof. This used to go down to $150. Then $180. If $200 is the lowest it gets I think it is going to lose its reputation as the best budget player. Still good, just a sizable price increase on an...
