LG UP970 4K UHD Blu-ray player - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

If the player supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, it will pass the proper audio to the receiver/pre-pro for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding from bitstreaming (HDMI connection).

* In 2017, to have a 4K BR player than cannot pass the necessary audio signals from Bitstream to the AV receiver for decoding Dolby Atmos and DTS:X would be like a major fatal flaw.

The only reason that Microsoft decided to finally add it to the XB1S.

So, I keep seeing players cannot sell themselves as “supporting” DV until they are certified, and that has not started yet. I guess than can just saw will support DV later, or something.

For displays, like Vizio and LG that have 2016 DV models, did they have to pass certification? I wonder if there will be any benefit to owning a DV player and display by the same company? I’d think not, but all of this has been cart before horse.

Just preordered from Robert. I have not had an LG player since around 2011, interested in kicking the tires with the mixed results we have gotten out of UHD players so far.

KASAM7 · 01-28-2017, 08:38 PM

Im sorry
I mean does it upscale blu-rays disc to 4K clarity
not all players do this
I have a Sony blu-ray ( BDPS6500) that upscaled to 4K and the picture is great
Also the Samsung 4K UBDK8500 and the New Sony 4K UBPX-800 both have this feature and state this on there product description
Thank for any info

I wonder if this player will be multi-voltage?

Robert, any new updates on shipping? Anxious to try out the streaming ability of this too.

Robert Zohn · 02-09-2017, 11:55 PM

I have a dealer meeting next week with updates, but the last I heard was end of February.

broganreynik · 02-10-2017, 10:07 AM

I'm geeked to get this up and running. Just got a 2016 E model (had to have 3D!). So, I'm excited to complete the next step.

It'll probably be awhile on the receiver/Dolby Atmos. My 7.1 setup is already a bit of overkill for our small apartment lol.

roguejp · 02-11-2017, 12:31 PM

Is there a rough price indication yet? Say, would this player more likely be in the 300-400 range, or higher?

$299 at Value Electronics.

Thank you very much, then I have an idea how much it will cost here in Europe

This player interests me. I was going to get the Oppo 203 but it seems to be a train wreck. Is this player missing anything? I am going to connect it to my Marantz 8802a and my LG E6. I do not listen to music only TV and Movies. I figure in 2019 or 2020 when HDMI 2.1 is out and finalized I will buy a 77" OLED and UHD player and move my E6 with this UHD player to my bedroom. Dolby vision is important to me. After speaking with Marantz extensively I found out that the 8802a is going to get a Dolby Vision and HLG firmware update.

Hey Robert, any updates?

Robert Zohn · 02-17-2017, 05:08 PM

Sorry to say, end of March for LG's UP970. The good news is I was able to secure the first allocation.

Thanks for the reply! No problem on the date. I've waited this long for a Dolby Vision player.

Did they give any more specs you could share? Like apps that have HDR capability like Amazon or YouTube? And if the apps could do Dolby Vision too?
