Great picture quality but Dolby Vision needs work!
UBP-X700 26 September 2018 by nabeelsheikh (United Kingdom)
Bought this a few weeks ago with the updated firmware that supports Dolby Vision. Overall great image quality. The set is a bit basic in bulid and much smaller that the UBP-X800 with no digital display or screen on the set. However one huge advatange is that with a firmware update it supports Dolby Vision. This is, however SEVERELY hampered - unfortunately, the unit does not auto-switch when you play a Dolby Vision disc which means that a) the switching has to be done manually from the menu and b) if you don’t know a disc has Dolby Vision and you don't therefore activate it in the menu, you miss out on the benefits (it can be quite difficult to see on Blu Ray discs whether a Dolby Vision signal is included) Sony - this could be an excellent product... please come up with a firmware update that auto-switches Dolby Vision on when it detects a Dolby Vision signal!!

NEEDS HDR AUTO SWITCHING
UBP-X700 28 November 2018 by Isaac112345678 (USA)
I love my x700 player. The picture quality on Dolby Vision titles is AMAZING; however, the Dolby Vision feature must be manually switched off for non Dolby Vison titles (HDR 10 or non HDR video), and back on for the Dolby Vision titles. If turned on the Dolby Vision feature with a non Dolby Vision movie, the picture does not look its best. Some movies with Dolby Vision don't even show on the box if the movie is in Dolby Vision (so I don't know if I should turn the feature on or off). Sony NEEDS to in the future update its filmware so the x700 can detect when a blur ray is playing a non hdr image, an hdr 10 image, and a Dolby vision image.

Disappointing
UBP-X700 05 February 2025 by Bunyip67 (Australia)
Bought a 4K player a couple months back. It plays DVD & Blu-Rays just fine ... triggers and stalls on 1 in 5 4K movies played. Have been buying SONY products for well over thirty years, always been a supporter of the brand ... given how problematic it is to actually communicate with a human i will just leave this review and never buy another SONY product again.

UBP-X700/BM2SP6 26 January 2025 by FanClub (Singapore)
Clearly the picture and audio quality were very good. Loading is a tad slow, can make it faster thru firmware update. Only region A and code 3 can be used on this machine. Hence I have to throw away lots of code 1 DVD. Hope next firmware upgrade can made the machine region or code free. Minimally code free.

Amazing picture, compact, quiet
UBP-X700 16 January 2025 by NickFiend (United Kingdom)
I've been putting off buying a 4K ultra player for a while as films are expensive. My old pioneer blu-ray player was getting louder and slower, so I decided to replace it with this one. The blu-ray picture is improved on this one, but 4K Ultra discs look and sound absolutely amazing! I'm just buying them 2nd hand. Highly recommended

UBP-X700 12 January 2025 by Muthy (USA)
Upgraded my Sony blu- ray with UBP-X700 Ultra HD Blu-ray/DVD player. However the experience has not been great . The player sometimes paused on it’s own always 3/4 into the movie . I checked firmware update and did a reset. Hope that fixes it . The old Blu-ray player played fine from day one !

More functions than the other competitors
UBP-X700 10 January 2025 by White sage (United Kingdom)
I prefer this new option. It is more responsive and loads faster. It also has an on-screen display showing the remaining movie time and whether the sound is in DTS or Dolby.

UBP-X700 08 January 2025 by Natalie (United Kingdom)
Bought the Sony blu ray and dvd before Christmas. You have to buy an HDMI cable seperare. Easy to use and navigate. You can log into your netflix, Spotify accounts on this device. Fantastic clear picture and very detailed. I know this was expensive to buy but worth it.

Up to date DVD player.
UBP-X700 31 December 2024 by Yorkie (United Kingdom)
Purchased this to replace home cinema system as DVD had stopped working and couldn’t be repaired parts not available. Seems cinema systems no longer available this unit was chosen as it is compatible with my new Sony TV. Not very impressed as I am with the TV. Not as simple to use as old one with menus to negotiate same with TV neither can be just switched on and used. Feel SONY not as good as they used to be.

Pretty basic bit of kit. Works straight out of the box. Easy to link to Wi-Fi. Shame there aren't more installed apps. It seems impossible to install extras.

Struggles to play 4K discs
UBP-X700 13 November 2024 by Dan79UK (United Kingdom)
Plays Blu Rays fine but half of the 4K discs I have tried freeze during playback between 30-60 minutes in. Have cleaned discs, made sure software is updated, reset the player and unplugged and restarted many times to no effect. I can see that this is a common problem from reviews.

GREAT PICTURE!!! GREAT PRICE!!!
UBP-X700 13 November 2024 (USA)
Approx. 8 years ago I purchased a SONY 65" 4K BRAVIA TV. It always had a good picture but I hadn't purchased a 4K Blue Ray player until now. I put a 4K movie in and the picture is amazing. So crisp and clear. At $159.00, it's a steal!

Great video/audio BUT LIMITED STREAMING CONTENT
UBP-X700 06 November 2024 by MarkFromNC (USA)
Audio and video from VERY LIMITED STREAMING CONTENT, Blu-ray Disc (BD) and Ultra HD BD is very good. Don't plan on using this as your only streaming device and/or hook it up to a smart tv because number of apps available on UBP-X700 is VERY LIMITED. Please see photo "All Apps" available and yes I did software update on UBP-X700 before I took this picture on 11/06/2024.

Great Blu ray 4k player
UBP-X700 11 October 2024 (United Kingdom)
I bought this in August and generally very happy. One thing which would improve it is if it could connect to the net to retrieve track listings when playing an audio CD. Apart from this, it's very good.

Sony 4K Blu Ray Player
UBP-X700 08 October 2024 by DGS (United Kingdom)
Bought to replace older Blu Ray player with dead power supply and to be a better match for new Sharp 4K TV. Bought about 1 month ago. Good quality and no issues so far. Easy to set up and connect to TV and internet.
