Review on 📀 Sony X700 - 2K/4K UHD - 2D/3D - Wi-Fi - SA-CD - Multi System Region Free Blu Ray Disc DVD Player - PAL/NTSC - USB - 100-240V 50/60Hz with 6 Feet Multi-System Compatibility by Andrey Zagorov ᠌

Some pros: It typically reads Ultra High Definition Blu-ray - Plays 4K movies from an external hard drive using USB (tested with WD drives of 1 and 4 terabytes). - typically converts multi-channel sound to stereo (if the sound is produced through the television, then there will be no such thing as the surrounding sounds yelling, and the dialogues will be scarcely audible) - DLNA support - support for the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) codec - a separate HDMI output for just the sound output - the ability to navigate through the system (applications, settings, and so on) without experiencing any lags or other issues (as the owner of an Android TV has something to compare with...) - If you press and hold the display button, you will be able to see the current bitrate of both the video and audio stream. - compact size - metal body Below are some downsides: - is not compatible with the Dolby Digital Plus sound format (also known as E-AC-3). - does not support playing the Dolby TrueHD + Atmos sound track in mkv files, despite the fact that it can replicate the sound from a blu-ray disc without any issues (on which it is indicated that the original sound was in Dolby Atmos). if playing in 4k @ 60 frames per second, HDR will immediately transition to SDR - WiFi 5GHz support is not supported. Also, you are unable to watch movies in 2.4k anymore since playing mkv files results in subtitles that have a revolting appearance (see photo). The subtitles on a Blu-ray disc appear in a standard font size. Perhaps the encoding plays a role in the outcome. Having a difficult time navigating the currently playing video: Only the and >> buttons will allow you to rewind; the | and > buttons will allow you to go through the chapters. This function is exclusive to disks. When dealing with files from the hard drive, advances to the next file even if there are none.
