Smooth operation out of the box.
This player is by far one of the best out there in my experience. It strikes a nice balance between price and performance. I have an LG OLED alongside a projector and they both work well after you tweak some menu settings. What is most convenient is not having to manually set Dolby Vision with each title you watch like some other players. This was important to me with the content I watch. I have also tested many standard Blu-Ray titles, 3D Blu-ray, and some DVDs without issue. I have not had any issues with this player in my home theater. The only thing I can add is that it would be nice if the remote featured Bluetooth. That would be a big bonus but it isn't a massive downside.

Perfect
Returned the Sony UBP-X800M2 for this. Half the weight and much smaller profile. Easily fits in tighter shelfs. Works perfectly with LG TVS SIMPLINK function and this player automatically turns on DOLBY VISION unlike the Sony where DOLBY VISION will need to be turned on manually for each movie.

LG gives a satisfying multimedia experience
I am a casual watcher of movies and TV. The LG 4K Blu-ray Player suited my needs and has more than enough features should I be curious to explore them. I have this player connected to my LG 32” UHD HDR Monitor with FreeSync in white and use my Sennheiser HD 560S Wired Open Aire Over-the-Ear Headphones for an isolated audio and movie-watching experience. The playback is great, the startup and shutdown times are convenient, and the imagery and sounds are equally stable and loud. The remote is handy and the homing bars or small bumps on certain buttons help the user remember and find the right buttons to press when the lights are off. You do have to point the remote directly in line with the light sensor. At an angle, it may not respond to the first press. If you need a Blu-ray player that can stream YouTube, play music CDs, display images and videos via USB, and play DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K discs, this one from LG takes the cake.

Excellent player!
Great uhd bluray player. Its silent, doesn't have any problems playing uhd blurays (no noise nor skips or other problems). It supports HDR and Dolby vision out of the box! There was a firmware update right away, so always check and keep it updated. I tried a couple of uhd blurays and dolby vision played fine and the blacks where on point. The interface is a little bit dated, however its usable and works fine. It also has 2 hdmi out ports, just in case someone has an older audio receiver with no hdmi 2.0, so you can still output dolby truehd or dts master hd to it. Video quality is great, upscaling of regular blurays is great too! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to jump into the dolby vision bandwagon without paying an arm and leg like other brands.

Full Five Stars
Picture quality is excellent as I suspected it would be. Very, very nice. The experience is more like looking out a window rather than watching a video display. The 4K movies I watched and the upscaling job the player did on regular Blu-ray discs was top notch in my opinion. Regular DVDs I watched were not very satisfying however and I have to believe this was due to the source material rather than any deficiency of the UBK90. The remote control has a number of buttons made of translucent rubber, but are not backlit. In this day and age I find it puzzling that manufacturers of televisions and source hardware do not provide remote controls with back lighting. A lot of my TV watching is in a room with no lights or low ambient light and quite often I want to pause or “rewind” programming or perform some other function and I often struggle to find the correct button on the remote. This LG remote does provide some tactile clues to help you navigate in the dark, but I would still prefer full backlighting. The remote takes only one AAA battery - seeing this in a remote is a first for me, and the battery is provided. An HDMI cable is not provided with the player. The power cord is attached to the chassis and is not removable - this might be inconvenient for some installs when swapping out equipment with concealed wiring. The front panel controls on the unit are basic: power, drawer open, play/pause, and stop. The buttons are raised symbols that are impossible to tell apart by feel and none of them are illuminated. There is a faint green light on the front panel to indicate the power is on. I miss the old days when there was a digital counter on the front panel, but on this LG there is no display of any type. There is a front panel USB port to allow you to connect other devices with content on them. The unit makes very little noise when running. The top of the case is flat which makes it possible to stack hardware - some makers have had case tops that were not flat and I would find that annoying if I wanted to sit something on top of the player. Provided apps are only Netflix and YouTube. This is probably of no real concern since most 4K televisions are probably smart TVs with a multitude of built-in apps. Menus are easy to navigate, unit responds to remote commands crisply, setup is easy, wi-fi connection and firmware updating is simple. This player supports a wide variety of optical disc formats and file formats…I can’t believe there are any more out there that are not on the list of supported types, nor did I even know this many existed. The LG UBK90 is a moderately priced Ultra-HD Blu-ray player that should satisfy most anyone looking to update their hardware to 4K capability. The only thing that disappointed me was the lack of remote illumination, but that is probably the case with 90+ percent of current remote controls, so I don’t feel right dinging this player a full star for that.

Ummm....Yyyyeeeahhhh....
So I have a Vizio TV with Dolby Vision. When I bought it at the end of 2016, the only 4K players with DV were WAY out of my price range, also 95% of my movies are now digital. But some of the movies I really enjoy aren't available in UHD digital with or without DV, but are available on disc, I felt "left out". Also that I was not taking full advantage of my recent home theater overhaul. So I grew impatient for lower prices on DV compatible players and got a Samsung 4k player. I LOVED watching Transformers on 4K HDR disc, it was glorious. However I missed not getting the full potential of DV . Enter LG. With all the mixed reviews of the UP970 and the multiple delays of the DV firmware update, loud fan noise and disc read issues, I was hesitant to grab it. Glad I waited till this Gen 2 beauty. Transformers now with DV on disc (no streaming compression) feels like a brand new movie. Thanks to this player I can enjoy the likes of Transformers, The Matrix and IT in all their DV glory. If the price fits your budget...jump on this one.

4K Player w/ Impressive Upscaling. That's It.
I was a little concerned when I bought this unit but I picked it up as it was marked down and it came with a free Harmony 635 which I wanted for the theater area so I didn't have to rely on Google Home or my phone for everything. I'm very pleased with the quality of 4K video and HDR. Having Dolby Vision was a plus although I can't testify to that. Purchased the 900e earlier this year so I can confirm the HDR10 is very good. (4/5) Most surprising to me about the player was Blu-Ray 1080P playback and the upscaling. I'd heard all the ravings about the best Samsung, Sony, and Oppo players but the UBK90 did wonders to my Rush Hour trilogy. Some of the dark scenes in the first movie had me pausing to make sure I was seeing things straight. Crisp! Absolutely crisp! Don't get me wrong, if you stare hard enough and get close enough, you'll see some breakdown, fuzz, snow...whatever you want to call it. But from 8-12 feet away, I was beaming. (4/5) During playback, I found the unit is pretty quiet. I don't hear it unless i'm popping the tray open or nobody is in the room with me while there's no sound. Don't worry about this adding to your movie soundtrack. (4/5) The build quality is meh. It's not horrible but it's not great. The top is textured in some corrugated plastic it feels. The remote I used initially and it was satisfactory. Nothing special about it though. No crazy programmed functions. I quickly replaced it with the Harmony 635. That said, I can't add this particular player to other Harmony hubs in the house. I guess Harmony haven't included it in their repository yet . (3/5) The worse part about the player was the UI. Put plainly, it sucks. It is just poor. The bright white and pink greeting screen is absolutely atrocious. Not sure who picked this but I hope their name isn't Baby because they need to go directly to the corner. The white and silver menu screens work but I really don't understand why they went with white. I almost went 0/5 on this one but ...naw. They deserve (0/5) for this. Last special features. You get a Ethernet port and wireless connectivity. No 3D as far as I know. If you're looking for great app support, this box is not for you. Netflix and YouTube are all you get. There is a USB port which you can use to play some digital movies, view photos, or jam to some tunes but who seriously carries about USB thumb drives for media playback these days? I was definitely disappointed to see no easy way to play media off Network drives. It may be option but I sure didn't see it. (2/5) My comparisons are up against an Xbox One S in which it averaged a 3/5. You'll probably find this on par with a 3/5. If you just want a 4K Blu Ray player with very good upscaling, this device is for you at the right price. Price is key here. Anything above $200 and you should look elsewhere.

Dolby Vision Performs Well
I have been using an LG UP875 4K HDR player for the last 3 years. I recently upgraded my TV to an LG OLED with Dolby Vision and now require a Dolby Vision Player. After reviews it was said the Sony UBPX-700 was the best value for the buck. I later found a fly in that ointment where Dolby Vision (DV) is manually operated. Read my review on the Sony UBP-X700. This was a deal breaker and I returned the Sony for the LG. The LG UBK90 is very similar to the UP875. Setup was a breeze and there are no settings for DV. It's all automatic! The LG UBK90 automatically detects the disc's format. I verified this with all disc formats; Standard Disc, Blu-Ray Disc, UHD 4K HDR Disc, and UHD 4K Dolby Vision Disc. It just automatically sets the playback format based on the disc's encoding. This unit has worked well so far with no issues. The DV picture is better than HDR10 on the LG OLED. Although the LG costs more with less apps than the Sony for the same picture quality, it is worth it for not having the hassle of turning DV on and off in settings. What a pain! Just put the disc in a play and the LG will do the rest. I have no need for apps on a DVD player and at the time of this review BB offers the LG player with a free harmony remote. That helps offset the price if you need one.

Awesome player! Supreme Audio quality
The video on this player is superb, but what's even more amazing is the audio quality!! I use the separate HDMI to port for audio out and it made a noticeable difference in my surround sound movies and music. (Note: quality HDMI interconnects rated for 4K are a must for maximum picture quality) Ultimately, it depends on what you want/expect out of a 4K-UHD player versus what you’re paying. I bought it for just under $150, and it works flawlessly. Paired with my Vizio 65" Series P 4K TV the picture is amazing, and my audio equipment detected and switched over to DTS automatically. If your concern is streaming from multiple apps, you’re limited to Netflix and You Tube, but any newer smart TV you would mate with this should have those additional apps to stream directly. Since this is a 2018 player, future software updates will probably add more apps, but only LG knows for sure. I highly recommend this player as both the audio and video have worked flawlessly for me.
