@@sammy-z7d5k Weird troll comment to make. I guess you're an American. lol The playstation 3, first two models were made to a very high standard. My comment was referring to Blu ray (and nots blu ray 4k) The first model of the ps4 (2013 ) had a blu ray player as well as the ps3) this was befor 4k. However the PS3's Blu ray player is officially better quality. This is due to the ps4 blu ray player was not the main focus of the product. Also someone who was born in the mid to late. 2000s would not have lightly played on the xbox360 or PS3. I am of the generation of the mega drive and Sega mega drive.

I was lucky to get an X700 on clearance for $100 recently. It's a great player but I did run into the intermittent freezing that's been reported with it by others. Maybe 2 - 3 times during some movies (not all though), the X700 would just suddenly freeze when playing UHDs. I didn't notice it on bluray. I ran the firmware update and thought that might help but it did not. After reading more into it, I saw others online had resolved the freezing issue by turning off the 24p mode. I turned this off as well and haven't seen the freezing happen since.

I agree 100%. I own both PS5 and a UB820. PS5 is pretty darn good for UHD discs. There's a slight bump in quality on the UB820 and of course the Dolby Vision. I'm just part of that 2% that's looking for just that little bit more. I only had the PS5 to start and never felt the quality suffered in any way. I mostly got the UB820 for the Dolby Vision but also figured if I was going to upgrade from PS5 that I'd get 'a bit more' where I can.

I am hard pressed to see the quality difference. I mean yeah I’m side by side stills. That’s not the whole story. The my Xbox has a pretty loud spinning noise and freezes/skips a significant ammount of the time. I’ve maybe had one hiccup in all my playback on the Panasonic. My old Sony had similar issues and in addition I had to manually turn on and off Dolby vision, which game consoles don’t have as everybody has mentioned. I really do think people need to be made aware that the Panasonic ub 820 is the stick you use to measure the quality of a player. And it’s not all that expensive of a stick so just get the stick

My first foray into 4k HDR Blurays was with the 4K-HDR release Akira. I can't really speak to the remastering effort since it's my only 4k disc so far so I don't have a reference for what a 4k Bluray should look like. But man, the disc drives in both the PS5 and the Series X were running *really* loud. It was super off-putting. Is that normal for 4k Blurays or did I just get a dud? (The movie played fine from start to finish, HDR 10 did work. I'm just talking about the noise the drive makes when the disc is running.)

​@TBoogy3 Yes, but unfortunately a lot of the auto calibrarion sometimes is not correct. For instance I previously had one of those Sony TVs that the PS5 auto calibrated to, but it wasn't correct and I had to set it myself anyway. And doesn't that auto calibration only apply to the consoles HDR calibration screen? Which hardly any games use. It had the black levels set too high. It should be at zero for the best and most accurate HDR on my TV. And the brightness was also a click or two off the optimal. Best to look into your specific display to find the best settings for HDR. Though the auto calibrate is probably fine if not great.

Agreed with everything you said. I had a Panasonic UB-420 4k player before I bought my PS5 and when I got the console and compared movies, they looked exactly the same. The PS5's ability to upscale the DVDs might've been ever so slightly lower than the Panasonic but not enough to notice in most cases. I eventually decided to sell the Panasonic since the PS5 was doing such a great job and figured the most high-end dedicated player would out-perform my PS5 so someday when I need it, I'll buy it. For the time being, the PS5 is perfect with my Sony Bravia X900H.

The biggest problem tough was that the Series X doesn't support the Bitstream mode, so I had very limited audio options since my TV also doesn't support DTS for exemple. As my 4k collection got bigger I decided to buy a dedicated player and got the Sony X800 M2, and I'm extremely happy with it and yes, there is noticeable difference in the picture quality, not night and day difference, but it's there. And now I have whatever audio or picture quality is available and also a better upscaling with is really nice

Some things to add. Your Xbox One X should be able to play 3D Blu-rays without issue. The Series X does not have support. The PS5 and XSX not being able to handle CD's and 3D Blu-ray is actually ridiculous. It's a software update. There's no reason for it other than laziness (and maybe licensing) Also, for those still stuck on non-HDR displays, the PS5 player has HDR-to-SDR conversion. So, if you want to play your UHD Blu-rays on a non-HDR display and not have the colors look weird, the PS5 does just fine in that regard.

I used to use my PS5 and didn't really believe the hype on dedicated players. But then I picked up a Panasonic UB-820 and man, it looks amazing. Comparing the 2 was interesting and I noticed the PS5 tended to crush blacks a lot on my OLED TV, whereas the Panasonic tone mapped correctly and looked fantastic. The only caveat I found was that maybe 10 out of 100 4K discs I own had Dolby Vision/HDR10+, so it wasn't a super useful feature.

This has been my exact experience. LG CX OLED owner and have found the UB820 tone maps much better than the PS5 (plus has the HDR optimizer if you need to take something). I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I’ve actually turned Dolby Vision OFF on my UB820 as I prefer the way most content looks in HDR10 over DV. Dolby Vision tends to be darker in general and limits the brightness of highlights. It could just be the OLED I have, but my eyes consistently prefer the static HDR10 grade, as the lower mid tones tend to be a tad brighter, and the highlights “pop” a bit brighter.

One thing that wasn't mentioned are the control functions and this can be very frustrating for non-gamers, like a spouse. Only basic functions have one button control and they aren't labelled, so infrequent users often forget which button to press. Other functions require a more complex sequence and some can be a real hunt to find them. It's definitely not as convenient as the remote of a dedicated video disc player. If you've got a non-gamer in the household, you may find yourself shelling out for the optional remote control to keep everyone happy and even though the optional PS5 remote control is better than the game controller for non-gamers, it's still not as good as most remote controls for dedicated video disc players or even the old PS3 remote control.

Years ago I had a blu-ray drive in a PC and compatibility was a nightmare so I'm hoping it's matured a bit since then and this won't turn into a giant rabbit hole. But I guess that's part of the fun.

100% The Truth!! Having PS5, XSX, Panasonic DP-UB824, LG C1 and Sony HT-A9, I love my 4K Player so much. Upscaling 1080p BluRays is another world compared to the consoles. Further I like HDR Tone Mapping Settings on it a lot. Of course Dolby Vision is the most important feature, but also the possibilty to get DTS formats was a big win, as LG CX and C1 doesn't support it, unfortunately. Great video Jeff! I appriciate your channel. You gave me a lot of valuable information so far. Keep going. 😊🎞📺🤟

I would always say get a dedicated player. I have both my PS5 and a 4k player hooked up to my A80J and the one thing that will always make them stand out is picture settings of the TV itself. If you put your TV into game mode and play a 4k movie it will not look as good as changing over to another input that is dialed in to play your movies. Motion, picture quality ect is dramatically different and you wouldn't want those settings on a PS5 to produce massive input lag.

The thing I disliked the most about using the PS5 as a disc player is actually the remote. The official Sony PS5 media remote is terrible for discs. There's no controls like stop, eject, and many others you'd get on something like your disc player remote. Even with the media remote, the PS5 makes you do many of the disc commands through an onscreen menu. You might as well just use the PS5 controller for all the good the remote does.

I had used an XBOX, PS3, and then a PS4 as my primary physical media player for years in my home theater. A few months after getting the PS4 I discovered it didn't play CD's. That was what prompted me to go back to a seperate physical media player. I wanted something that would play as many disc based formats as possible. Year ago we finally secured a PS5 and our son wanted to go with the digital only model but I agreed to pay the $100.00 difference for the model that played physical disc even though I already had a seperate 4K player in the house, Sony UBP-X700. My son uses the PS5 in his bedroom primarily for gaming, but does watch 4k movies as well, a 50" Sony 4k that supports Dolby Vision. On certain occasions he moves it into the home theater room to play games or watch movies on a 75" Samsung 4K. Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision only HDR10 and 10+. I have never noticed much of a difference in game play on either tv using the PS5 but do feel that bluray/ 4K movies look better on the Samsung model.

For the price and doubling as a gaming machine I would say its a great option. The PS5 handles the discs well, and while you do miss out on HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision, the point of entry with these doesn't feel so steep simply because the PS5 can pull double duty. I do plan on upgrading to a dedicated player once I've upgraded the other components of my home theater setup, but it will be among the last of my purchases for it. Thanks for the videos!

As someone who owns both the PS5 and Series X, I prefer to watch 4K blu rays on the PS5. Honestly both consoles struggle at times to handle the 100GB 4K movies but I find the PS5 isn’t as loud as the Series X and I’ve felt that the Xbox is more hotter. I also find that the PS5 has deeper blacks when watching film (used the same set up and the same TV presetting). The Series X does have the ability to display the current Mbs pulling from the disk which I find Interesting in which I can’t find the setting for PS5 to show that. The Series X at times also has this weird jagged edge on the side of movies that I can’t figure out why it’s doing that. The biggest thing I found weird is that you have to specifically download the free Blu-Ray app for the Series X in order to watch movies while the PS5 is as simple as putting the disc into the system and pressing play. Overall I find the PS5 more capable and convenient but I’d love to get my hands on a dedicated player one day to see the differences

PS5 was my introduction into 4K bluray playback. The first 4K discs I bought after copping a PS5 had stickers on the plastic stating "perfect for PS5 playback", not that I didn't already know that. But I wouldn't be surprised if a MAJORITY of the consumer base for 4K blurays are a bunch of gamers who work normal 9-5s who can't necessarily afford a $3000 DV compatible OLED TV. The only time I had playback problems was watching CASINO during an small scene in act one that skipped a tiny bit. But I even read some top of the line players will have issues playing certain BD100 discs. John Wick 4, Dune, Chris Nolan films, etc ALL play phenomenally on my PS5

A note and a correction, the Xbox (at least the One S and One X) can in fact play 3D blu-rays. If you have it hooked up to a 3D capable display, years have to go to the display settings on my console and turn on 3D simply. I would assume the series x is the same way since they both use the same OS and software. And on a different note since my TV isn't that good in HDR, I always run my Xbox in SDR and notice that the color grade on some 4K discs in SDR are pretty dull, a recent example I can think of is the Truman show because I just got that movie in the mail from Amazon and watched it recently, but I found color on the 1080p disc looks better than what I got from the UHD, maybe the Xbox One S just sucks at tone napping the HDR down to SDR. I feel like that could be an interesting topic for another video, how do 4K UHDs look when played back in SDR.

I would say consoles are great 4K players not only terms in video and audio quality but also in terms of conveinience. Even though dedicated 4K players are better, its a nice way to save your money while also playing your games and movies at the same time

I'm not sure if you have covered 4K TVs yet, but if not that might be a good video topic. I use an Xbox Series X and a cheap £300 4K TV, and I was watching the 4K Blu Ray for Aladdin (the animated one) the other day, and there was A LOT of smearing, or ghosting, throughout the movie, but it was specifically bad at the beginning. Pretty much any scene with dark colours had it, and I wasn't sure if it was the disc, the TV, or the Xbox, but after watching this, I think it was probably the TV not being good enough with dark colours.

I’m glad this showed up on my feed. I don’t have the budget to for a high end tv or speakers but looks like I’m not missing much. Sometimes I use a headset as a cheaper alternative to speakers.

I can’t speak for PS5, but I’ve run into several issues playing discs on my Xbox Series X. My Criterion Collection Citizen Kane 4k disc doesn’t play at all, which is a bummer. I don’t have the moolah for a dedicated 4k player, but I agree that it is the best option.

I'm both a fan of movies, and video games. I have a PS5 but I also have a dedicated player. There is a difference in quality and I even tested it when my player's disc drive was dying and was considering replacing it. I did end up just buying a new disc drive and it works perfectly. Haven't had a skip since.

I have also have a dedicated 4K player too. Since I don't play video games I also have a Standard Sony BDP-S1700 Blu-ray player and Panasonic UB-420 4K player connected to my Sony X90J 4K TV. The Panasonic UB-420 4K player with Sony X90J 4K TV is very good combination for upscaling older sources like DVDS and 4K and Standard blu-ray you can't tell difference between except for one requires HDR.

Both my Xbox Series X and Xbox One X have issues with freezing and stuttering while playing certain 4K Blu-ray Discs. They both freeze and stutter at the same points in the films. The last two I had issues with were Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Had this issue with probably 8-10 4K Blu-ray Discs in total. Which seems like way too high of a failure rate for it to be the fault of the brand new discs. I always check the discs for scratches and they’re spotless. The common thread seems to be the movies I’m having issues with are 100 GB discs. Hoping when I save up for a dedicated player this won’t be an issue.

I assume it's the layer change. Had the same problem with Mulholland Dr, but that was a $300 player(LG UBK90). Haven't had problem with any other discs. You will not know if it's the disc until you test them on another 4k player. I guess I should test the Mulholland Dr disc on my ps5, to see if it's freezes the same place.

Yep, had a few 4K 100GB discs that wouldn't even play now. The SX definitely doesn't like 100GB discs, as I've put in a 66GB disc from the same brand-new set and it worked with no problem.

I did not have a good 4K Blu experience with my Xbox Series X. The 4K discs would skip constantly on the Series X but play fine on my friends player. Also, it couldn't play DVDs, not sure if they updated it yet or not, but that was kind of weird, I thought. I wonder if the discs were skipping because I had the console set up vertically 🤔 would that make a difference? Anywho, just wanted to warn any potential buyers of my experience with the Series X. Great video, love your stuff 😊

Yeah I've had a few 100GB 4K discs that wouldn't even play now, so I wouldn't recommend it as a player.

Using OPPO UDP-203 since 2017 straight, had 3 Sony players before that and also playstation too, but I must say, for hometheater and cinema for playing movies, dedicated high end players can deliver only. I also recommend the following players: Panasonic DP-UB9000 MAGNETAR UDP800 Reavon UBR-X100/X200 Sony UBP-X800M2

This is off topic but you look and even sound a lot like Tom Segura. I was a bit surprised when I saw you. On topic, if we're talking about 4K blu-rays I think using a PS5 or an Xbox Series X is good enough. I think the truth of the matter is the vast majority of people won't care that much and will simply go for the most obvious choice. And honestly, I think I'm in that group. I would love to have a home theater setup so that everything I watch is the absolute best quality possible but I simply don't have the space or money for that. Plus it's fun for me to insert a disc into my PS5. To use a gaming console as a movie machine. I've been trying to build up a DVD/blu-ray collection again and using my PS5 is satisfying enough for me.
