Hi all... I‘m currently running an Xbox One X as my 4K Blu Ray player in my small ‘man-cave’;... I’m generally pleased with playback experience it provides; but its not ideal and I’m toying with the idea of upgrading to a dedicated player. But I’m not convinced I’ll truly see that much of a difference and it will be worth the expense.
TV is an LG 55SM9010 Nanocell; which provides Dolly Vision (but not HDR10+) ... and soundwise I’m using a Sony HT-X8500 soundbar. Plus I also have a Hue HDMI Sync box which will be in between the TV and 4K player ... I also use the Xbox for a little gaming also, so a dedicated player would sit alongside this.
In the living room I have an LG UBK90... which is ok, but really doesn’t blow me away. The picture etc is awesome, but I find the UI a bit dated & clunky, it provides no real ‘features’ and is actually quite noisy at times! ... this is hooked up to an LG OLED 55B7 (+ LG SL8YG soundbar).
I’ve looked at the various posts on here and YouTube videos etc... and the Panasonic UB450 & 820 are peaking my interest.
But back to the original dilemma - I‘m still not sure if I will really see that much of a difference and it will be worth the expense?
thanks - Andy
