A new era has come. Best 4K UHD Blu-ray player you can buy in 2018

Technology is developing in an astonishing speed, this is one fact that nobody can deny. Just when we feel like VHS cassette was yesterday, Blu-ray has already replaced DVD in a large scale, leaving VHS a historical technology 3 generations ago. And now, even Blu-ray itself can't keep the crown for long. 4K UHD Blu-ray is on its way to change our lives, and ready to start another revolution in media industry.

Do you think that 4K UHD Blu-ray is just another version of Blu-ray with a little bit higher resolution? Wrong. 4K UHD Blu-ray is a revolutionary digital optical disc data storage format that supersedes Blu-ray. It has better picture quality, better sound effect, and WAY better resolution that could bring you totally different movie watching experience. Can't wait to get a 4K UHD disc and have a try? Well, easy for now because you might not be able to watch it with your current Blu-ray player.

That's right, just like all Blu-ray discs are not compatible with DVD players, 4K UHD Blu-ray discs are not compatible with regular Blu-ray players. So in order to watch a 4K UHD disc, you are going to need to buy a 4K UHD player. But worry not, We are here to introduce you some of the best 4K UHD Players that you can buy in 2018 so that your dream of 4K UHD can come true.

1. Oppo UDP-203 ($1086 Amazon)

People say that Oppo makes the best Blu-ray players in the world for a reason. Oppo UDP-203 supports a full suite of both video and audio formats and features 3 HDMI ports for video and audio signals. But what may surprise you is that It even supports the premium Dolby Vision HDR standard, which is not supported by most other players.

Oppo UDP-203 is the most expensive Blu-ray player on this list, but if you want the best 4k UHD experience and can afford the price, perhaps you should get one.

Unfortunately Oppo UDP-203 doesn't support streaming services like Netflix. But it does't change the fact that this is one of the greatest 4K UHD Blu-ray players.

2. Panasonic DMP-UB900 ($735.66 Amazon)

Brilliant color fidelity, deep contrast and almost 3D clarity, Panasonic DMP-UB900 will restore you faith in physical media. You buy this one, you bring the experience of 4K digital cinema to the home. Plus this one is way cheaper than Oppo, so it could be your better choice is you can't afford a player over 1000 dollars.

3. Xbox One X ($499 Amazon)

The greatest gaming console with 4K UHD support. 12GB of GDDR5 RAM, eight-core CPU clocked at 2.3GHz, this one is easily the most powerful device in the list. With a resolution of 3840 x 2160, What could be better when you want to have ultimate gaming and movie entertainment experience in one device? But calm down, remember that Xbox One X is a gaming console device after all, so you probably won't be impressed by the the picture it produces. But, for those who need a gaming console and a UHD player, this one is definitely the best choice, no doubt.

 

Is there any other choice?

 Of course. If none of the above grows in you, there is another choice for which you don't have to spend a penny to watch a UHD movie. Install a player software that support 4K UHD playback on your computer and enjoy.

There are some 4K video player software on the market, and Leawo Blu-ray Player is my personal favorite. Leawo Blu-ray player is a 100% free media player that can not only play Blu-ray, DVD disc and ISO, but also all the popular digital video and audio file formats. If you have 4K UHD file and don't have a UHD player to play it, Leawo Blu-ray Player can help you do that.

But what if you don't want to watch your movie on your PC? Well, you can always burn your 4K movie file to a Blu-ray disc with blu ray burning software mac free or Windows free with Leawo Blu-ray Creator, which can remain the original quality in the whole process, and then play the movie on your regular Blu-ray player. 

Are you ready?

The new era is around the corner. But it could take a while for us to actually embrace the time for 4K UHD Blu-ray. Unless you use the player software, the cost for aUJD player is a little bit too much. So, 4K UHD is good, but the question is, are you really ready?
