From Philips
P&F USA, a Philips brand license partner, next month will deliver a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player to offer the ultimate in 4K home entertainment.

The new Philips BDP7501 plays back content at four times the resolution of current Blu-ray players for a stunningly detailed image. And with HDR support, content played on an HDR TV, such as any Philips 2016 4K Ultra HD set, delivers images with startling brightness, contrast and color.

"4K Ultra HD Blu-ray provides consumers with the opportunity to own and enjoy stunning 4K content without the glitches that can occur when streaming large 4K files," said Karl Bearnarth, executive vice president, sales and marketing, P&F USA, Inc., the exclusive North American licensee for Philips consumer televisions and home video products. "This is a significant step in the transition from HD to 4K Ultra HD, and one that we believe will quicken consumers' adoption of 4K, especially as they see what the combination of 4K, HDR and Ultra HD Blu-ray's wide color gamut can achieve."

The Philips Ultra HD Blu-ray player offers built-in HEVC and VP9 decoders for playing Netflix and YouTube 4K content. It also features 4K upscaling for non-4K sources, and plays 3D Blu-ray discs. For the best possible sound, it offers both Dolby Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio | Essential.

Connections include HDMI 2.0a and 1.4a output, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Ethernet and USB Multimedia support for HEVC, H.264, AVCHD, AAC, MP3, JPEG and more. It also offers discrete HDMI audio output for connecting to legacy audio receivers.

The player is available in two versions - the BDP7501 features a real brushed aluminum chassis, while the BDP7301 offers a piano black chassis. Both players are available next month at a suggested retail price of $399.99.

Poor build quality, looks cheaply made.

I like how compact the unit is. Not bulky like other players. And Samsung, well all the Samsung blu-ray players I've owned were crap and I expect nothing less from the Samsung 4K UHD blu-ray player... I'm already hearing issues...

This is the player I bought. It was on sale and it had some nice features (3D being a must)

The player is great and sleek. So it looks nice sitting with the rest off the tech. I just wish I had a region free player.

I would steer people away from this player unless cost is *only* factor.

LG's 4K/3D player is plunging in price ($140) and has good playback with DV.

Then LG had DV problems and pulled back the firmware which enabled DV.

Sony X800 player is bit more than LG's, but is better built with more options.

Sony could probably do DV now, but they're holding out on DV till next player (which is a shame).

Unless you can get the Phillips for $50, it's not a good deal.

the player looks compact and Not bulky like most

Ge the Sony X700 for less than half the price...
