As consumer electronics develop, they gravitate toward ever more pronounced versatility. A typical example is smartphones, which many people almost never use for their intended purpose (telephone calls). However, for home entertainment, standalone dedicated media players remain the most convenient form factor. Today we will look at a selection of media players that received the highest ratings from Expertology specialists based on the realities of 2019.

Best 4k Blu-ray Players from Samsung

The players of the South Korean giant have good quality, decent functionality and at the same time have an affordable price, like most other products. Unfortunately, at the moment Samsung has refused to develop and release new models. What can now be found on sale are devices announced two or three years ago. It is worth saying that the lack of new products does not at all affect the products’ performance of their direct function - playing discs with high-resolution content.

Samsung UBD-M8500

An excellent solution, which by the standards of the price market for Blu-ray players is considered an inexpensive device. Moreover, the device has a built-in Tizen operating system, on which Samsung runs a huge range of electronics and household appliances. Support for external high-capacity hard drives is possible, which makes the device more versatile, although the quality is inferior to special editions on disks. Although there is no 3D playback functionality, user-recorded discs with a decoded signal are successfully transmitted to a TV with the appropriate technology. True, branded 3D will not be reproduced.

Samsung UBD-M8500

Options:

• decoding: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD;
• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, optical audio;
• Disc support: BD, all CD/DVD;
• formats: AVCHD, FLAC, MKV, MP4.

pros

• smart TV based on Tizen;
• control from a smartphone;
• affordable price.

Minuses

• does not reproduce licensed 3D.

The average cost is 19,390 rubles.

Samsung UBD-M9500

The older version from the South Korean company has expanded support for formats, the list of which also includes the good old DivX. Including it in the general list in the presence of more advanced technologies is a nod to old movie fans, in order to allow them to play an existing collection on the device without using archaic technology. Unfortunately, the SmartTV function in this model is not supported in Russia, but the player performs its main task - playing high-quality discs - well.

Samsung UBD-M9500

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, coaxial audio;
• disc support: BD, DVD-R/RW;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, MP4, DivX.

pros

• high quality output signal;
• reliable design;
• 2 HDMI second generation connectors.

Minuses

• Smart TV is not supported in Russia.

Which media player is better to buy?

Choosing and purchasing the best multimedia player for your home depends primarily on what tasks it faces. Therefore, the VyborExperta.ru project team can recommend the following consoles:

• Tanix TX9S is an ideal option when you want to expand the capabilities of your TV without overpaying;
• Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is a portable option for home or garden, taking up minimal space;
• Apple TV 4K - with excellent performance and reliability to integrate with the Apple ecosystem.

There is no single standard for all media set-top boxes, but there are a number of basic functions that are present on every device. Popular manufacturers strive to provide their products with additional options in order to expand functionality and attract new users.

Best UHD Blu-ray Players from LG

LG produces some of the most budget-friendly solutions in players equipped with a violet laser for reading blue-ray. Unfortunately, the situation with sales in Russia is as ambiguous as that of Samsung: the consumer market is being replaced by online streaming services, as a result of which players are becoming clearly niche.

LG UP970

The main feature of this device is support for Dolby Vision technology. The Dolby Labs laboratory, which developed this standard, laid the groundwork for the future, because in order to implement the technology, televisions must have the appropriate parameters. The result will be high clarity, contrast and brightness of the picture, which, coupled with a good audio system, can create a cinema effect. Otherwise, LG is a classic average player, the pros of which are good support for formats, but the disadvantages are the presence of only YouTube and Netflix among the built-in streaming services.

LG UP970

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, Wi-Fi;
• disc support: BD, BD 3D, DVD-R/RW;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, MP4, DivX, FLAC, MPEG-2.4.

pros

• Dolby Vision technology;
• good format support;
• simple utilitarian design.

Minuses

• little variety in Smart TV.

The average cost is 23,469 rubles.

LG UBK90

Next year's model, which replaced the UP970. The older model has support for both proprietary Dolby Vision, which LG successfully implements thanks to its connections with technology developers, and the more widespread HDR+. One way or another, the picture turns out to be very vibrant and rich, allowing you to convey all the nuances of a file recorded on a large disk. When viewing standard Full HD, upscaling is applied to the image, using all the power of the TV connected to the player.

LG UBK90

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, optical audio;
• Disc support: BD, DVD-R/RW, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, MP4, DivX, FLAC, MPEG-2.4.

pros

• support for HDR+ and Dolby Vision;
• affordable price;
• good implementation of upscaling.

Minuses

• low distribution in Russia.

On a note! Upscaling is scaling an image with fewer pixels to 4K size. This allows you to make even quite old videos in Full HD more detailed.

The average cost is 13,958 rubles.

#5 - KMPlayer

Download: Google Play

Another very popular video player that has successfully conquered the mobile platform. Omnivorous, works with any formats, supports high-resolution video playback - 4K and even 8K. Supports wide settings for changing the picture (brightness, contrast, shades, colors), scaling the video and rotating it in any direction, settings for playback speed and subtitles.

Can play videos in a pop-up window without interfering with other applications. KMPlayer works with files from any source, be it cloud storage, a flash drive, or just a direct URL link. Definitely one of the most thoughtful multifunctional players in our rating.

The best Blu-ray UHD players from Sony

Sony engineers know a lot about high technology, in particular, high-quality video, as well as players and televisions designed to play it. However, the range of Blu-ray players is not that wide - mainly due to the same situation with the specifics of the consumer audience.

Sony UBP-X500

Junior model in the line. Of the technologies for playing “heavy” video, only HDR 10. The reduced functionality does not contain either Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. In fact, this is a device with basic functionality, which is enough to reproduce the standard. The audience is undemanding users who are just getting started with UHD or simply want to spend less money.

Sony UBP-X500

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI;
• Disc support: BD, DVD-R/RW, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, MP4, DivX, FLAC, MPEG-2.4.

pros

• low price;
• good implementation of the basic set of functions;
• compact size.

Minuses

• reduced functionality compared to older models.

The average cost is 16,440 rubles.

Sony UBP-X700

The main trump card of the model is the Dolby Atmos sound reproduction technology. It splits the audio track into several channels, without losing the quality of the original signal, which allows you to get truly amazing sound on a good speaker system or home theater. The picture does not lag behind the audio, and for their improved playback there are 2 HDMI connectors 2.0 and 1.4, through which video and audio signals can be supplied separately.

Sony UBP-X700

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, optical audio;
• Disc support: BD, DVD-R/RW, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, FLAC, MPEG-2.4, AAC, SACD.

pros

• convenient navigation;
• good support for audio formats;
• separate HDMI outputs for audio and video.

Minuses

• Subtitles look bad in mkv files.

Ultra HD Blu-ray player Sony UBP-X700

Sony UBP-X800

Stylish appearance - the user will pay attention to it when he first gets acquainted with the flagship player. The rectangular design looks elegant and expensive, without bothering you even in a prominent place. Everything is fine with the decoding equipment: all current formats and technologies for surround sound and clear video are present. Unfortunately, as with most other players, there are problems with disc compatibility: while BDs can be read without problems, DVDs may have problems.

Sony UBP-X800

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, DLNA;
• Disc support: BD, BD 3D, DVD-R/RW, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, FLAC, MPEG-2.4, AAC, SACD, DVD-Audio.

pros

• stylish appearance;
• excellent audio signal;
• impressive picture.

Minuses

• no Russian support.

The average cost is 22,990 rubles.

Budget models up to 5000 rubles

If you don’t have enough money or just want to learn more about media players for 4K format, then budget models will be the right solution. They are affordable and have a fairly large selection. Let's look at the most popular options.

Google Chromecast 2018

The media player is small in size and is one of the very functional devices. With its help, you can easily expand the capabilities that your TV has. This media player is connected to the TV using HDMI. Many people like the fact that they can control the device directly through a smartphone using a special application.

The advantages of the device include simple settings, attractive appearance, no delays during operation and wide functionality. At the same time, the media player model does not have a hard drive, it may not work with all applications, and the user does not have the ability to independently adjust the screen resolution.

Invin w6 16gb

A fairly simple media player that can be used for basic tasks. The device has a variety of codecs and supports all formats. There is only 2 GB of RAM, but this model works very quickly. To store the necessary programs or movies, you can use the internal memory of 16 GB.

The advantages of this model include an affordable price, the presence of LAN, Wi-Fi, HDMI connectors and quick response to commands. Users note that the media player does not have its own cooling system, and the HDMI cable that is included in the kit is not long enough. Overall, it’s a pretty good model for regularly watching movies in 4K format.

Iconbit movie one

A small device with the Android operating system. The media player has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. Additionally, the amount of memory can be increased by using flash drives. The player is capable of supporting almost all formats.

The advantages of this model include the presence of a remote control, the attractive appearance of the device, and the ability to independently update the existing software if necessary. Additionally, the media player has a LAN connector. Due to the fact that the device has a low cost, there are very serious disadvantages. These include insufficiently high-quality technical characteristics, a small amount of memory, and the Wi-Fi connection is unstable.

The best Blu-ray UHD players Panasonic

Panasonic was one of the first to release Blu-ray players for the new 4K Ultra HD standard. The company's equipment is poorly represented in Russia, but its characteristics force lovers of high-quality content to shell out a lot of money for perfect devices.

DMP-UB900

The player came out controversial. On the one hand, there is excellent picture quality and equally advanced sound. The latter provides a 7.1 output on RCA connectors, which will please fans of analog sound. Smart TV works fine, no freezes or errors were detected. On the other hand, Atmos audio is not reproduced except from BD media. There are also incompatibility with codecs.

DMP-UB900

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, DLNA;
• Disc support: BD, BD 3D, all DVDs, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, FLAC, AAC, DivX, WMA.

pros

• analog output 7.1;
• excellent quality of the output video signal;
• availability of DLNA.

Minuses

• quite high price.

The average cost is 50,341 rubles.

Panasonic DP-UB9000

The flagship model, information about which Panasonic kept secret for a long time. The company abandoned its previous decision and decided to support the device not only with HDR+, but also with Dolby Vision. There are no complaints about video playback, but I would like to draw your attention to audio. The player is a full-fledged playback device, has its own DAC, isolated dual and 7.1 output for implementing a multi-channel system. The almost complete absence of interference makes the player an audiophile's dream.

Panasonic DP-UB9000

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, DLNA;
• Disc support: BD, BD 3D, all DVDs, all CDs;
• formats: AVCHD, MKV, FLAC, AAC, DivX, WMA.

pros

• separate high-quality DAC;
• all sound channels are isolated;
• high reliability.

Minuses

• is expensive even in foreign currency.

The average cost is 94,030 rubles.

#8 - Night Player

Download: Google Play

You are sitting in silence at night and decide to watch a movie on your phone. But the player interface is light and hurts the eyes, and the sounds, even at low volumes in some scenes, are too harsh. Night Player was created specifically to eliminate such problems. The player's interface is dark, and the control icons are large, so you don't have to strain your eyes to see where you're pressing. But the most interesting thing is how Night Player works with audio tracks.

It processes them using a special algorithm, muting excessively loud, harsh sounds and enhancing quiet ones. This way, the characters’ normal speech sounds clearer, and explosions and screams sound quieter. With Night Player, you don't have to turn up the mixer to hear what a character whispered, or wake up from deafening gunshots if you accidentally fell asleep while watching a movie. And, importantly, all this without registration and without advertising.

The best player from Cambridge Audio

You shouldn't expect a variety of models here - this is the only device in the range of players with support for Ultra HD Blu-Ray. It’s worth taking a closer look at, if only because you can actually buy it in Russian online stores, although you’ll have to look for it.

Cambridge Audio CXUHD

The player does not have a separate DAC - according to the developers, this will reduce the number and strength of interference vibrations for both the video signal and audio. The device runs on a Mediatek chip and fully supports Dolby Vision technology. There are no built-in applications; the device is designed to connect to a local network or media device that receives content from the Internet. Codec support is average, but in terms of disc reception, the player can easily reproduce any format, including 3D and all media of previous generations.

Cambridge Audio CXUHD

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, RS-232;
• disc support: BD, BD 3D, DVD, CD;
• formats: WMA, AAC, WAV, MKV, AVCHD, H-264, MPEG-2.4.

pros

• support for most audio formats;
• reads all types of discs without problems;
• high-quality assembly.

Minuses

• no internal DAC.

On a note! A DAC is a digital-to-analog converter, an element that converts a digital signal into currents of a certain voltage, which are supplied to the audio system. It is he who is responsible for the quality, richness and “liveness” of the sound, so valued by audiophiles.

Ultra HD Blu-ray player Cambridge

#10 - Standard video player for your smartphone

Yes, you heard right.
It's really worth trying out the standard video player on your smartphone, no matter what model it is. Most likely, this player successfully reproduces the most popular video formats and most likely it has a quite tolerable interface in Russian, which will not make your eyes water. And it definitely has a quality that other programs on the list don't have - you don't have to bother with installing it. If everything works out of the box and you are completely satisfied, then don’t bother. But if you want something more advanced, then follow the rating further. The following applications will answer the question of which video player for Android is better than the standard one.

Best Blu-ray UHD Player Yamaha

Yamaha can be called a manufacturer that has extensive experience in creating, first of all, audio equipment. However, the video player turned out to be quite decent. This equipment is not officially sold on the Russian market, but it can be ordered with delivery from other regions.

YAMAHA BD-A1060

The older model was chosen as the best. Unlike the S681, this modification is equipped with a built-in DAC, which allows you to output sound from media or directly from the Internet, although the bitrate reaches significant values. The device provides full connectivity with streaming services and Miracfst. There is also a mode for playing CDs with uncompressed audio format.

YAMAHA BD-A1060

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, DLNA, HDMI, audio coaxial;
• disc support: BD, BD 3D, DVD, CD;
• formats: AAC, FLAC, WAV, MKV, AVCHD, DVD-Audio, SACD, HDCD.

pros

• advanced audio component;
• built-in DAC;
• omnivorousness of disk formats.

Minuses

• difficult to find in Russia.

The average cost is 69,990 rubles.

#9 – BSPlayer

Download: Google Play

The developers of BSPlayer solved two important problems at once: they created a program that could play videos without any problems even on weak smartphones, and made it not eat up the battery like crazy. More than 10 million downloads and four stars in the play market speak about how successful both of them turned out. BSPlayer supports hardware acceleration, is compatible with most video formats and can play videos in the background in a pop-up window.

It also quickly plays files shared over Wi-Fi without downloading them directly. The player has advanced capabilities for working with subtitles: both external and built-in ones are suitable, either in the form of srt or txt. BSPlayer can also search for subtitles automatically if there is a network connection.

The best 4K Blu-ray players from Pioneer

Pioneer has been producing high-quality video and audio playback devices for all world markets for many years. The products are officially sold in Russia and are available for purchase, although the price of these products allows us to classify them as premium class equipment.

Pioneer UDP-LX500

After OPPO announced its departure from the segment of Blu-ray players for high-resolution video, the premium niche of devices that would not just transport a signal, but would have a powerful Hi-end converting filling, was vacant. Moreover, Pioneer products are more preferable for Russian users, since they are officially supplied to Russia. Moreover, the price even for the younger model is more than one hundred thousand rubles. On the other hand, the result turns out to be encouraging.

Pioneer UDP-LX500

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, HDMI, RS-232, audio optical and coaxial.
• Disc support: BD, BD 3D, all DVDs, all CDs;
• formats: WMA, AAC, WAV, OGG, MKV, AVCHD, VC-1, MPEG-2.4, SACD.

pros

• simple menu;
• high-quality output audio and video signal.

Minuses

Ultra HD Blu-ray player Pioneer UDP-LX500

Pioneer UDP-LX800

The best player is not only from Pioneer, but outshines other manufacturers. According to many users, this is a worthy successor that keeps the quality bar set by OPPO. All components and elements are housed in shielded housings and mounted on a heavy steel sheet, which dampens possible vibrations. There are not so many connectors on the back, but the same RCA ones have gold-plated contact surfaces. In order to fully realize the capabilities of this player, you will need not only a TV and speakers of the most advanced level, but also special HDMI cables with maximum bandwidth.

Pioneer UDP-LX800

Options:

• Internet access: yes;
• interfaces: Ethernet, 2 HDMI, RS-232, audio optical and coaxial;
• Disc support: BD, BD 3D, all DVDs, all CDs;

OPPO players have become the standard of quality among those demanding users who do not recognize any sound and video other than those recorded on media. In this regard, the connection of Blu-Ray and 4K has become the peak of technology development, combining high quality with large volume.

OPPO UDP-203

The device is known for its reliability and workmanship. Traditionally, OPPO releases new models based on application and functionality. The younger model with index 3 is designed primarily for video playback. However, audio content is not “pushed into a corner” - it may not suit only those who already have better equipment. The omnivorous nature of formats and media adds to the device’s popularity.

Review of media players on the market for viewing 4K format

Today you can find a huge selection of media players on sale for watching your favorite movies and programs in 4K format.
In this article, we will look at which media players are considered the best in their price category, as well as the main advantages and disadvantages of this or that model. It is worth noting that each buyer will be able to choose the most suitable option for himself.

Understanding Blu-Ray technologies

The emergence of high-quality video media formats and technology designed for its playback was preceded by a long history. However, even today, not all people clearly understand the differences between certain types of recording discs and picture formats displayed on the TV screen.

Find out which is better, an Android TV or a smart TV, from our new article with the TOP-15 smart TV rating of 2021.

Features of Blu-Ray discs

Technologies that make it possible to place a large amount of information on a standard 12-centimeter disk began to be developed back in the early 2000s. Already in 2006, the first Blu-ray media was presented. Its key feature was that a special violet laser with a shorter wavelength was used for reading and writing. The parameters of the reading beam made it possible to encode information in the form of narrower tracks, which made it possible to place two or even three or four times more on the same segment. In the media niche where it was necessary to record several films in high quality on a disc, Blu-Ray discs eventually completely replaced their direct competitors - the HD DVD format.

Features of Blu-Ray discs

On a note! The size of a standard BD is 23 GB. Double-layer discs, which are the most popular, hold twice as much information. The largest media created using this technology held 320 GB - it was produced by TDK.

4K (HD Ultra) Picture

Unlike the designation of an image in television broadcasting, where the vertical scan is taken as the basis, the picture in a digital video signal from media players is designated along the horizontal side of the frame. So a 4K image is approximately 4 thousand pixels arranged horizontally. The most popular format, UHD, is 3840 by 2160 pixels. This gives a picture of extreme clarity, when the smallest element is still displayed in several pixels. Accordingly, the graininess of such an image is minimal, and the transmission of volume, depth and smoothness of movements is unparalleled. True, the film in Ultra HD resolution has a very large volume. This is where Blu-Ray discs, already firmly established in the consumer sector, came to the rescue.

#7 – Nova Video Player

Download: Google Play

Another worthy candidate for the top video players for Android is Nova Video Player. This is an open source player, the main feature of which is the built-in media library. Videos from all sources are integrated into a single multimedia collection. Descriptions, posters, backgrounds, and built-in subtitles are automatically added to all content.

In this form, it is easy to search for films by genre, year of release, duration, sort TV series by season, and divide what you want into folders if the need arises. The result is a convenient and flexible system that is easy to navigate and select new films to watch to suit your mood. Nova Video Player has a lot of other nice features: integration with smart TV, night mode, support for multiple audio tracks, multi-subtitles and much more.

#2 - VLC

Download: Google Play

The rating of video players for Android can hardly be considered complete without VLC. This player with its recognizable traffic cone icon has won the hearts of many users. And there are a number of reasons for this. For example, support for absolutely all formats with already built-in codecs, which do not have to be downloaded additionally, as is the case with many other players. VLC can work with HDDs, devices on a Wi-Fi network, streaming services, DVDs and ISO images. The player organizes all multimedia files into a single convenient library.

There are no problems with multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and equalizer. There is even a separate widget for audio settings. VLC is a good video player with a well-thought-out interface, through which it is equally comfortable to watch videos or listen to music.
