LG UBK80 (2018)
This budget 4K UHD Blu-ray player keeps its rear panel deliberately simple. A single HDMI 2.0 output carries both 4K HDR video and audio to your TV or receiver — there is no second audio-only HDMI here, so an optical (TOSLINK) jack handles standalone digital audio. A front USB 2.0 port plays media files, and…

LG UBK90 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player (2018)

An optical TOSLINK output adds another digital…

Panasonic DP-UB420 (2018)
This US-market 4K UHD Blu-ray deck splits its outputs across two HDMI jacks: a main HDMI 2.0 port for 4K/60p HDR video plus audio, and a second HDMI 1.4 output that feeds audio to an older receiver.

-
Panasonic DP-UB450 (2018)
The European sibling of the DP-UB420, this 4K UHD Blu-ray player uses dual HDMI outputs to keep audio and video on separate paths: a main HDMI 2.0 port pushes 4K/60p 4:4:4 HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision), while a second HDMI 1.4 port sends audio alone to an AV receiver. The key wiring difference versus the…

-
Reavon UBR-X200 (2021)

The UBP-X700 is Sony’s mainstream 4K UHD Blu-ray player and one of the few sub-$200 decks to support both Dolby Vision and HDR10. Its rear panel keeps it simple: a TWIN HDMI architecture (HDMI 2.0a video+audio + HDMI 1.4 audio-only for legacy receivers), a single coaxial S/PDIF digital output, and a 10/100 LAN port. The…
-
Sony UBP-X800M2 (2019)
The UBP-X800M2 is Sony’s audiophile-leaning 4K UHD Blu-ray player and the heavier replacement for the UBP-X800.
