How much are you willing to spend? The Xbox one S will give you 4k disc playing without the 4k gaming.

I had a 40" Samsung 2 years ago for £408 .... Polaroid .... Lol
Double discounts on amazon prime day on some 4k discs in the 2 for £30 section.
Pacific rim + the town = £16. 81

Yeah I might get as I held off on the blu ray.
So has anyone got hold of the Panasonic ub820 yet? And if someone has come from the Ub900 to this I'd love to hear your thoughts.
It's doesn't do atmos vision for discs.
I thought that as well... I posted somewhere else and somebody said it had been recanted.... Need to find that
Ah.... Found it
"Updated July 16, 2018:Microsoft has reached out to Windows Central to clarify the initial statement reported by CNET was not accurate. For now, Dolby Vision Xbox One support is currently set to be limited to streaming. Here's hoping Dolby Vision disc support makes its debut one day! "

Went back to when I started this thread .... He's still waiting lol
On a side note just realised my 14th birthday on this site was yesterday
If you're going down that route, make sure your pc meets the requirements.
" in order to play UHD Blu-rays, your system must support AACS 2.0 and Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX). You’ll need software to play the disc itself (CyberLink has an updated software solution set to ship in the near future), and a GPU with HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 support. AACS 2.0 also has to be implemented within the GPU driver, and no current stand-alone GPU drivers have this functionality. Finally, you need a 4K TV with both HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 support as well. "
**. QUOTE from 2017 so it's slightly inaccurate

So then...... the Panasonic ub9000 is £850 and out in the next month .... anyone ordering ?
Why pay £850 when you can pay £2000 for the pioneer LX800

erm........lol
If you are prepared to play the waiting game on new releases then 4K films come up 2 for £30 on hmv and amazon all the time. You do get the odd amazing deal. Mission impossible 5 film set is £34.99 if you buy anything else with hmv atm. If you are a pure hmv member you can buy it alone in store st that price.
Picked up a Panasonic ub820 roday... First impressions are good are against my old ub900 .
Initial startup is a bit clunky.... but othwise it’s fine
Does your tv do DV ? Also you have to turn on DV each time to use it ? The Panasonic ub820 does it all automatically, and also has hdr optimizer.
If you have sacd then I suppose the Sony is a good choice.
The problem with the waiting game is you always wait
And tbh I think that will be £300 + anyway
