Thought it was worth spinning this off into its own discussion.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player
At least so far, Philips is one of only three companies to announce a 4K UHD Blu-ray player, along with Samsung and Panasonic. The Philips BDP7501 features HDR support, which means that it should fit in well with any of the 4K TVs the company has announced this year, but perhaps the most interesting aspect of the player is its compact design. The player looks more like a set-top box than a standard Blu-ray player, and the minimalist look is striking.

The BDP7501 features built-in support for both the HEVC and VP9 codecs, so streaming 4K content from Netflix, YouTube and others will work as intended, and should look great. Upscaling for non-4K content is also included. Both HDMI 2.0a and 1.4a are supported, and connectivity is provided via both wired Ethernet and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. No set release date has been announced, but Philips says the BDP7501 will ship in spring 2016 and will sell for under $400.
