Good movie in 4k
on March 1, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Movie looks really good in 4K,however as the other 4K movies I have,you get just about as good picture as a regular bluray movie up scaled to near 4K.would have been nice if it had Dolby Atmos.

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring Inchthe MartianInch home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Pe~a, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.

Works Perfectly,but not worth the price !
on March 1, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This 4K bluray player up scales regular bluray movies as well as my Sony 4K up scaling bluray player I was using before.However I probably wouldn't have purchased it had I known what I know now.I purchased 3 4K bluray movies and played them on this player,I see very little if any improvement between a regular bluray up scaled to 4K and an actual 4K movie.I have a Sony 65x850b 4K tv.This tv doesn't have HDR so I can't see the benefits of HDR on these movies.Maybe the difference will be more evident with a 4K animated movie.If you already have a good bluray player that up scales bluray to near 4K quality,you may want to wait at least until the price comes down later this year.The difference in picture quality just doesn't justify spending $400 for a 4K bluray player.Maybe this review will save you some money

Great floor speakers for the price !

Verified Purchase:Yes
Wow what a difference from my older front towers speakers.When I first set these up,I wasn't very happy with the sound,but after recalibrating the speakers using the Denon autocalibration , and about 24 hours to break in the speakers,they sound excellent.I am using two woofers and the floor speakers still add even more base.Good mid range and better highs too.The speakers are worth every penny at this price! And they're very nice looking speakers too.Also got the matching center channel speaker.

Largest center channel I've ever seen !

Make sure you have the space available for this center channel speaker.It's huge.However it is a big improvement over the small center channel speaker I was using.The voices are much clearer now and also provides better mid range sound too.Once I recalibrated my speaker system with the Denon autocalibration , and the speakers broke in after about 24 hours of use , the speaker sounded excellent.

My tv is a Sony KDS-55A3000. Is not 4k but 1080. Will the Sony UBP-X800 work with it ? Thank you in advance.

Yes , you will be able to play regular blurays and dvd’s With this player.And when you get a 4k tv eventually , you will be ready to play 4K movies.
