" ...  I had a Panasonic Blu-Ray player that I did not realize was already from 2011 . ... I feel good about it as it worked, but since I use it for more than just discs . ... So I was looking at Blu-Ray players and with my TV's being a number of years old, I decided to get something to tide me over until I get a new TV next year and then I'll take a look at a better unit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It does play Blu-Ray exceedingly well.  ...  "
comment
" ...  What an improvement from our 4 year old blu ray player!  ...  "
comment
" ...  So the Blu-ray player was delivered . ... I had also purchased a new Sony 50" TV just shortly before the Blu-ray player. ... I can be watching a Blu-ray disc and it will do that .  ...  "

comment
" ...  But people like me may not realize what this means until you buy it and try to use it on a 4K disc. ... I'm not sure what that means exactly, but the picture is great when you play such a disc on a 4K UHD tv. ... But after spending lots of money on a high-end Sony 4K UHD tv, I do not want to merely upscale my blu-ray discs. ... So I'm returning this product and ordering the 4K player today. ... We played about 10 minutes of Fantastic Beasts, the blu-ray version, and the picture on my sony xbr65x900e tv was phenomenal. ... We are really looking forward to getting the 4K player and seeing how much better that is vs the upscaling.  ...  "
