LG UBK80 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Disc Player with HDR Compatibility and Smart Streaming Capabilities

Craig Kelly: Item supposedly could play DVDs from all regions. This was incorrect.

Geetar Don: DVD, Bluray, Ultra HD -- these plus CDs and home burned discs. -All are part of my library, and so how nice to find a reasonably priced player that seems to handle them all perfectly.

The its sized to stack with standard hi-fi and video components , too, is a plus.

It does with wireless connection -- which for most of todays systems is redundant -- was for me no problem. Maybe even a plus.

Its remote is, as others say, very small. But its coding matcches an older LG remote that I still use on rare occasion. That to a player used solely for foreign coded DVDs. Now that one remote controls either and the rarely used player has its power cut off by an 'Alexa' switch so that it does not try to respond when I am not using it.

I purchased the unit, listed a "used but like new", and got a box that quite obviously had never even been opened.

I could not be more pleased!

Caspar Ryan: This is a genuine 4k disc player, no region limitations, reads blu-ray, dvds, any disc you put in it, and gives it an upscaled quality that is impressive.

So why 4 stars? The Neutral screen before a disc is inserted is just a blidming white. Irritating and obnoxious like. Staring into the sun. There is no screen saver animation for a paused disc. And for internet access, it requires a LAN cable to your router, there's no wifi.

Still love this 4k player. Price is decent. Shipped in a day.

D. Fennessey: I replaced a Samsung 4K UHD player that was much more expensive than the LG UBK80 and was pleased to find that although not as complete in features as the Samsung, had better picture quality for HD and 4K video. The DVD up-scaling was not quite as good as the Samsung but good enough. My Samsung unit is about 6 years old, more people were interested in top notch DVD up-scaling back then. The user interface is stupid easy to configure as the best way to put it...don't feel insulted, just enjoy the simplicity :) Overall i highly recommend this unit to people who want to connect this to their TV / Home Theater system, turn it on, and just watch and hear the wonderful output this unit is capable of.

JimBob: As this replaces an older LG player, it couldn't be easier to set up: unplug old player plug in HDMI and power cord. I did add a fiber optic from this to my AV center for better sound -- I'd read 4k players have better sound on Blu-Rays, even if movie isn't 4K. My one objection is they decided to "simplify" the remote menu, so getting to closed captioning is now a 2 step process instead of the 1 button on the old. Seems to be playing perfectly. As I have some 3D movies, I was delighted to find a 3D player but haven't tried any of the 3D movies yet.

P. Schmidt: My home theater (my living room when not used for other purposes) consists of an HD projector (projecting the image on a large pull-down screen from the ceiling), driven by a Panasonic (nearly 11 years old?) Blu-Ray player, with audio being only 2-channel/stereo through a normal home stereo system. But something started to fail in my old Panasonic player, so it was time to buy something new.

I wanted something good quality, and did not want to 'cheap out' on it, but neither did I want to pay for a bunch of features that I don't need or plan to use. Seems that Panasonic players these days are all quite expensive, so maybe they have decided to target the higher end market. I thought of Sony, but reviews of their current products made it seem that that company's quality is not what it used to be. Samsung makes good stuff, but I was not impressed by their offerings in this area. I considered Philips, but their styling put me off. I refused to consider any maker who name I did not recognize or have experience with. What I was most impressed with was the current LG lineup; consistently high reviews, and I keep coming back to LG for my major home appliances, as well as my most...
