Sony UBP-X700 review: Sony's new affordable 4K Blu-ray player delivers value, performance and Dolby Vision thanks to a firmware update.
Excellent picture performance ; Dolby Vision support ; SACD disc playback ; 4K video streaming services
No HDR10+ support ; Noisy in operation ; Flimsy build quality
The Sony UBP-X700 is a cracking 4K disc spinner that boasts great performance and features, at a very tempting price. Thanks to a firmware update that adds Dolby Vision support, it will surely be the player of choice for many Sony TV owners.

Design and build don't dazzle here, and connectivity is limited, but the UBP-X700 lets Sony hit a new 4K price point – and appeal to Dolby Vision TV owners at the same time.

We love streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video as much as anyone, but if you're serious about getting the maximum possible image quality from that brand new 4K TV, you're still going to need a disc. It may seem like a throwback to last...
Compact form factor HDR 10 and Dolby Vision support Great audio processing Easy to use remote
Feels a little chintzy Not great for streaming compared to dedicated boxes
With great sound and image quality and a small footprint that will fit alongside even the sleekest setups, the UBP-X700 is a great option for those who are looking to make the most of their home theater without breaking the bank.

Blu-ray players are still a thing, and 4K UHD Blu-ray discs deliver a video and audio experience no streaming service can match. Sony's UBP-X700 handles all types of discs, streams over the network and from USB, and offers a selection of popular online...
Handles just about any video or audio disc ; Upscales lower resolution content to 4K UHD ; USB port for playing files from storage media ; DLNA support
Limited collection of streaming apps ; No eARC support ; No Bluetooth output
Though we’d like to see a richer app environment, we can’t argue with this Ultra HD Blu-Ray player’s support for all types of optical media, its quick operation, 4K upscaling, and ability to stream over the network and from USB storage devices.
