Product Information

Furthermore, the device is capable of playing various video formats and can be connected to additional devices, such as Blu-Ray players, offering more flexibility in watching movies from a variety of sources. Using Windows to burn this using Parallels did it for me, after I'd made sure to delete the extra files that Macs seem to infest zip files Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 2nd November 2023.

The LG UBK80 also has HDR-10 which means it will give you a bolder contrast and more vibrant colours. This will make you feel part of the movie thanks to just how clear and realistic the picture is. Hello! Does this only work for region free DVD? I tried this recently on the UK player and everythingYou are going to want to make sure that whatever headrest DVD player you choose is easy to install for automobile use. Most headrest DVD players have a USB port that allows you to easily store your favorite movies or even other storage devices, such as a thumb drive. Display screen size is important, especially if you have a car DVD player with dual screens. Look for gorgeous HD displays that are large enough to read text from. The resolution screen should be a 10.1-inch screen or more and capable of playing HD video so you can enjoy movies or video games in their full glory. The player did a wireless update right away which went without a hitch. First UHD disc I tried was tomb raider 2018. The unit is very quiet so that’s good since the previous gen player had a lot of noise complaints. The one I got is very quiet. The disc loaded right up and the Dolby Vision indicator popped right up on my OLED. My AVR is older so I have to run the two HDMI cable setup. I have the player set to PCM and I chose the resolution since if it’s on AUTO then the player does the scaling and I’d rather my TV do it.

An issue reported by @ kaiyen in the unveiling thread (i.e., white screen, freezing, failing to respond) had me concerned. I hooked mine up using Premium Certified HDMI cables and just finished watching a Blu-Ray (non 4K UHD) and it played flawlessly. I have and extensive collection of Blu Rays... but no UHD's to test at this time. Will be adding some to my collection this week. I'm hoping (guessing) kaiyens problem might have be related to cable issues. I turn on the player and am greeted with a super blurry LG logo and then the sparse menu. The menu looked blurry as well. I know that the interface on these budget players usually aren't rendered in 4K, but it still seemed off. I popped in the Brave blu ray as my first test to see how standard 1080p content would play. I found the image to be extremely soft. Looked kind of like the menu. I verified that the TV was receiving a 4K signal from the player upscaling the blu ray. I figure this soft image is not normal, so I hunt down another HDMI cable. I grab the one that I was using between my PS4 and the plasma the OLED was replacing. Things visibly improved. The menu wasn't as blurry and the Brave disc seemed much sharper. However it still seemed a bit soft. I know that the C8 is capable of upscaling 1080p content quite nicely because hours before the family and I watched Coco via Netflix. It looked amazing, much better than the Brave disc and that Coco stream was only 1080p.To use the player, including settings and selecting options there will be an on-screen display on your TV which makes all the processes much easier to follow. Also, look out for notifications on the display for software updates. Pros text file. Change the file extension. If you cannot see the file extension, select "All File Types" The first job should be to get the player connected to your TV which will require the HDMI cable we previously mentioned. Other equipment you could connect includes an amplifier, and a computer or laptop.

During all this the TV was always in HDR picture mode. Anyone seen anything like this? It could be just a side effect of playing the movie outside of its normal speed and the TV and player losing sync. Where it will be popular is among those who do not see any need to pay top dollar for a decent Blu-ray player and are not necessarily going to looking to see whether any specific color on their screen is as vivid as it might be. Gain a win-win with the UBK80’s ability to upscale your existing Blu-ray collection. Not only do you get access to the latest format but you also get to keep your existing Blu-rays and see them look better than ever. 4K upscaling upgrades the resolution to better match your 4K TV – giving enhanced detail and realism. So here I come across the first missing feature that really annoys me. There is no way to disable upscaling (that I have found) of standard blu rays at the player and send your TV a 1080p signal. I know the Sony X700 can do this. I would imagine the C8 has much better upscaling capabilities than an entry level UHD player. Has anyone found a way to disable the upscaling done by the player? What is also good about this player is that it allows you to play 3D films through it as long as you have a 3D compatible TV, this will make it feel like you are in the centre of the movie and you really don’t miss a thing. You will also be able to play all your favourite DVDs that you’ve got laying around, bringing the past with you to the future. This player also allows you to play CD’s, so, as well as having a movie night, you can have a music day as well.

Once I get my monoprice cables, I will test some more to see if any of these problems are still apparent. They may be partly to blame. I will also see if those certified cables do anything to the blu ray image quality. Also make sure that Windows burns the disc 'as a CD' rather than 'As a USB' (if it asks). And delete the desktop.ini file if it tries to After finishing the movie I wanted to play around with picture settings to see what the different options did and to see if I could recreate that weird things I mentioned above. So I skipped to the the ballet scene in the beginning again and hit play after fast forwarding to what I thought was a good spot. I noticed that the lights were not brighter than the surrounding scene, as if HDR were turned off. They didn't have that HDR glow I noticed just having viewed the movie. I looked at the info for the input and it said it was receiving HDR and Dolby Atmos. Even my wife agreed that it didn't look like it did when we first watched the scene. I say "even my wife" because she isn't into this like I am. So for her to notice the difference it was very noticeable. One feature that often doesn’t get mentioned enough is how easy a product is to use, but we have to flag that here. The UBK80 has one of the easiest systems to select options and adjust settings that we have encountered. This is helped enormously by the very clear on-screen display. How to use it

This is one of the most affordable Blu-ray players we've tested. Add it to your 'maybe' pile if you're shopping for a basic Blu-ray player, but be warned that this model doesn't have 4K upscaling technology and won't play 3D Blu-rays.For people who are struggling to get the CD to work and you're using a Mac to make the disc: read this! Hmmm. Can’t say I noticed any softness in my limited testing so far. I tried a 3D Blu-ray and that looked nice and sharp. 3D was great too. I watched a few chapters of tomb raider 2018 and the Dolby vision was superb. This is a demo worthy disc! Many models feature a swivel screen, allowing for up to 360-degree rotation and the ability to adjust the angle of your device with just a simple swivel. This is ideal for those who need flexibility in their viewing experience, as you can swivel the direction and orientation of the screen with easy rotation.
