The UBP-X800 Sony's first 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player will be available in stores in March 2017. It currently is available for pre-sale for a MSRP of $299.99 from Amazon, Best Buy and others.
The UBP-X800 Player is compatible with Ultra HD Blu-ray as well as video streaming in 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR), for greater detail, brightness and contrast that fully captures the movie, TV show, or game as it was meant to be seen and heard. The UBP-X800 provides Ultra HD Blu-ray playback with wide color space BT2020, it has twice the color range of existing conventional Blu-ray players and High Dynamic Range.
Almost any format is to be playable via USB, according to Sony. The UBP-X800 has a Frame and Beam (FB) chassis that supposedly increases structural rigidity and its honeycomb top plate, sf heat sync and offset insulator feet are to reduce the effects of airborne and mechanical vibration.
After a future firmware update it is to offer Hi-Res Audio sound reproduction which can playback up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD 11.2MHz. Standard resolution music's sampling frequency and bit-depth is upscaled.
Using Bluetooth headphones one can listen through head-phones while the sound can continue to play from the TV or sound bar for the rest of the family in the room to enjoy, great for those that need a higher volume or simply don't want to be interrupted.
The player incorporates a variety of video codecs that can deliver 4K streaming from video streaming services such as Netflix. However those will only become availale this spring via a firmware update.
