Review: Sony XBP-800 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player

Sony XBP-800 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player

Bring that true feel of the cinema to your home with Sony’s flagship 4K UHD Blu-ray player.

When unpacking the Blu-ray player you come across the high standard of quality you would expect from a top of the range Sony product and they have made the set-up process very easy. Controlling the box is done via a perfectly formed remote, giving you easy access to all the players’ features without over complicating the amount of buttons to hand.

Its quick buttons can take the streamers of the world to all the entertainment they will need from a variety of sources including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. With the Blu-ray players’ dual-band technology, users will get a great 4K streaming service on their wireless network.

Another great bonus feature of the Sony XPB-800 is the support for Bluetooth wireless audio meaning the night owl film and TV buffs won’t disturb the early bed goers without the use of extra long headphone cables crunching up as close to the TV as possible to hear. Not only is the Blu-ray player great for audio on the TV but it also has the ability to stream content wirelessly from all your smart mobile products to around your home – truly making this an all-in-one solution for your home entertainment!

With all the top quality extra features as already mentioned you would be forgiven if you had forgotten you had brought this product as a Blu-ray player. But don’t worry – once you start using this product for what its main purpose is, you realise the extras are just a cherry on the cake of top quality 4K Blu-ray viewing.

Of course with being Sony’s top 4K Blu-ray player you would expect nothing less than a top quality device and I am glad to say Sony does not disappoint.

Watching a 4K film via this player – in a true cliché – really brings the screen to life. The High Dynamic Range means you get the finest details from every scene allowing you to immerse yourself truly in the story you are watching. The colours are brighter and more vibrant and the blacks more deep giving a beautiful contrasting picture on screen.

This ability to produce such colour makes this Blu-ray player perfect for every programme and film. From the out of this world action film to the dark and gritty drama or the perfect love story to the awe inspiring documentaries.

If you’re upgrading to the Sony XBP-800 then don’t worry about having to throw out your old movie collections. With this 4k player you will be able to view all of the classics again with this amazing disc drive. Whether it be Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray, compact disc or DVD you will be able to watch it again and again and with amazing sound and picture why wouldn’t you?

In a final summary of this product, it was truly hard to find any fault; the 4K UHD player is high end entertainment in a box. This delivers top of the range picture, sound and streaming and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a 4K player.
