For two reasons.įirst, Mainly TV ‘short-form’ (very little of that is in 4K) is the most popular stream content.ĤK movie ‘long-form’ content is often a less than satisfactory streaming experience even if you have 50Mbps NBN. My spies at JB Hi-Fi say the Netflix effect did have an impact on 4K HDR disk sales but its gradually coming back. There is a palpable difference between streamed 4K content and the quality this device can produce. Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray adds a new dimension to 4K TV Although it does support many other brands using the manufacturer code to train the player. Like all brands of players, it works best with Bravia TVs/soundbars where the TV remote can control the player. It does offer Auto1 (2K) and Auto2 (4K) upscaling. That is not an issue when playing Blu-ray, but you need to be aware that it may be an issue with older content.

It is limited to upscaling from 1080p content. Wi-Fi streams well from our D-Link AC5300 router about 15 metres away. I also like the Wi-Fi dual because so few people have Ethernet cables or the router close by. The setup menu is comprehensive so its good that an ‘Easy Setup’ appears the first time to set up Wi-Fi and basic settings. It could be convenient for casting movies from a Windows laptop or Android smartphone. The resolution, of course, depends on the original screen. MiraCast (not Chromecast) enables most Windows and Android devices to cast their screen. It will also identify a DLNA source on the same network. It has a range of apps to enable streaming of 4K and HD content like Netflix, YouTube, Foxtel Play iView, SBS on Demand and Spotify. The interface is similar but is more sensible and straightforward. Sony’s high-end TVs use Android TV which is very tile-oriented. Importantly it has both an HDMI ARC port and a separate HDMI sound only out port. Having a few colour choices might be nice. I guess this is de rigueur for AV stuff these days.

You miss so much with streaming and standard 4K HDR TVs! What is a Sony UBP-X700 Blue-ray player? Let me tell you that nothing, including Netflix 4K streaming, compares to a dedicated 4K, Dolby Vision/Atmos Blu-ray player. Some TVs had Dolby Vision, and Atmos sound and some did not. The Sony UBP-X700 was our reference device for the recent round of TV tests. Sony has aggressively attacked the market with a range of quality 4K OLED (GadgetGuy review here), and Ultra UHD LED TVs (GadgetGuy review here) and Dolby Atmos ‘vertical sound engine’ soundbars (Sony range here). The Sony UBP-X700 and its bigger brother UBP-X800 are the latest in Sony’s range of true 4K Blu-ray players.
