No sh*t, you really paid $49 for the UP870 at your Walmart?

Anyone know what the difference is between the UP870 and UP875? Did some researching on LG's website, and even the tech specs are identical. Is it retailer specific? I saw that Best Buy has UP875 and says it's a "Best Buy Exclusive."

No major differences other than the UP875 being the Best Buy version.

Yepp!! Actually did. I have three walmarts locally and two had it for $79 and one had it for $49. Don't know why, but the only question I asked when I went at 5am when they opened was, where is it? Lol

Does this player output Dolby HD 5.1 master audio? I know it only has an optical audio output, how would I get dolby atmos etc. through this player

This player supports all the popular audio codecs from Dolby Digital to Dolby TrueHD and from DTS Digital Surround to DTS-HD Master Audio.
In order to get Dolby Atmos and/or DTS:X playback, plug the player directly to your A/V receiver or soundbar and at least set your 4K player's audio setting to "Auto", if you have a Dolby Atmos supported receiver, you should be able to get it with no problems, and it has to be done through HDMI fyi.
The optical output will just give you Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, and PCM 2ch instead.

I'm not completely sure, maybe this spec sheet should help out.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense
