Replace your PlayStation Bluray player with these 4K UHD Bluray Players

As video game consoles move to a more digital ecosystem, you may be wondering what to do with the 4K Blu-ray collection you have been amassing. With the arrival of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Sony has given us a compelling next-gen console with no way to play our movie collection. Here are some choices of 4K UHD Blu-ray players to make up for what the Series S lacks.

Best overall

Sony UBP-X700

Staff Pick

The Sony X700 is the perfect balance between price and usability. It has an excellent optical drive made by Sony and supports HDMI 2.0, and will play 4K UHD Blu-rays with no problem. The sony player also comes with a Wi-Fi connection, allowing you to stream from your favorite services, making it a media center rather than just a Blu-ray player.

Best for 3D Blu-ray

LG 3D Ultra High Definition Blu-Ray 4K Player

While the LG doesn't have the Wi-Fi connection of the Sony, it has the ability to play 3D Blurays and 4K UHD Blu-rays. It's also worth noting that this player is compatible with the LG smart remote, so if you have an LG TV already, this is an excellent way to go.

For your PC

Archgon UHD 4K Blu-Ray Writer

While many people may not have a 4K TV, many people have computers and Monitors capable of outputting that resolution. The Archgon 4K UHD Blu-ray writer is an external drive for PC or Mac that will let you watch 4K Blu-rays and even write data to Blu-ray discs. It's a great price too.

Data transfer king

Atevon High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Cable

Once you have chosen your player, you will need to make sure you have the right cables to connect it. HDMI 2.0 is required for 4K UHD content, and the players don't always have them. This gold-plated cable from Atevon is six feet long and perfect for 4K playback.

$13 at Amazon

Super sharp visuals

The reason the Digital Edition of the PS5 can take an excellent price cut is, in part, due to the lack of mechanical parts that make up the optical drive. Unfortunately, that means those of us with a sizeable physical movie collection will have to make some hard decisions and to look elsewhere for a player.

The best choice for that "elsewhere" is the Sony UBP-X700. With its crystal sharp visuals, Wi-Fi for streaming, and excellent price tag, the Sony scores high in every metric.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
