    When 4K players cost $500 to get something considered “good but not great”… yeah no wonder no ones buying

      That is not what they cost. Mine was 180 euro. It has HDR support and plays everything I throw at it.

        HDR, or Dolby Vision? From my research, anything less than the Panasonic UB820 either has missing features, or longevity issues.

        Even still, 180 euro is well above the under $40 you can lots of DVD and even Standard Blu Ray

        Personally, I grabbed a MakeMKV compatible UHD optical drive from eBay for $150, and just remux my discs to Plex… and then use CoreELEC on the Ugoos AM6B+ to ensure proper Dolby Vision and Lossless Audio support…. but I know that’s not exactly a mainstream option.
