Wow, this made me 1080 HD TV look like an ultra-HD (or 4K HD) TV

Really that would be the only reason to fork out $175 for the player if you already have a smart 4K UHD TV.

If you're not picky, getting the "smart tv" features within the disc player is a nice good idea

Easy interface to TV thru Onkyo receiver.

The Sony X700 is the cheapest, quality player that supported every format my TV was capable of displaying

But if you have a smart TV, well... you don't really need the extra features.

Just plugged it in and it did all that smart tv configuration on my Samsung TV

Many add in a media player that, in effect, turns a standard HDTV into a "smart TV

I don't like depending on a smart TV for those, prefer to be a stick or player like this

Controls are simple and if your smart tv is up to the task, and whose isn’t

Given that most movie and TV content currently available is not 4K, the UBP-X700's upscaling capabilities are an important feature

My TV is a 2018 smart tv, so don't need the other things.

Quality of picture is very good, long as you have a good tv to go with it.

but with this one that makes my TV into a smart TV as well, my Amazon Prime works with apt that comes with the player

Amazon does not accept returns (even for defective units) after a measly month and Sony is not interested, denying responsibility and blaming my TV, AV receiver and everything else not made by them

The remote is very nice and works my tv too!

And, if I decide to join this century and get a better TV, I expect that this player will bring out the best in that as well

There is an app called Video & TV SideView that works with this player

I was eventually able to get it working by adding the Sony's IP address to the Plex server, under Settings/Network/Advanced/"List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth".So, bottom line, this is a great disc player with rather basic streaming video "smart tv" features

n’t had any issues

n’t available and maybe 5 old ones that I’ll spend the 10 dollars
