The Sony UBP-X700 Ultra HD Blu-ray player is now available to buy online stores in USA and UK. This Sony 4K Blu-ray player was introduced last month at CES 2018, differs from the X800 and X1000 models due to a less edgy and even more minimalist design. The front and upper side portion has a glossy plastic finish, while the rest of the housing is made of rough plastic.
To mark a clear demarcation line with the previous range Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player now supports Dolby Vision, along with the HDR10. From this year Sony will propose both TV and a player capable of handling Dolby technology. However, it should be emphasized that compatibility is not already present but will come via a firmware update in the summer.
