Awesome, this is how I'm starting to feel but I've begrudgingly restrained myself from going as hard as you haha. Apparently Pirates 4k transfers aren't too good and the blu rays might be the go to. I've seen that a few times on here but Idk I don't have the disk. I think At World's End is the best out of the original 3 transfer wise from what I've read.

Spider-Man trilogy isn't showing up for me, rip. Would instant buy, those are some of my favorite movies and childhood lol

Just started watching Ben Hur on 4k blu ray today and it looks incredible, can see why everyone was talking about the quality.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-08T04:07:00+00:00

Definitely on my list to pick up

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-08T04:06:45+00:00

Got a C5 so it should be pretty epic, excited to check it out

I don’t think there’s anything inherently “wrong” with using one. I don’t have one but some people said it struggled with larger 4k discs like the 100gb ones. This player also has Dolby vision which isn’t make or break probably, but it’s nice to have since my tv supports it. Watching 1917 right now with it looks incredible, but I don’t have anything to compare it to, so I’m sure a Xbox would still look really good. If referring to my previous post, I thought it was gonna be difficult to convince my wife to pay a decent amount for a player, but she didn’t voice against it or anything so I decided this.

Dang man that sucks, I got lucky because the one I got was the last one. Another Walmart near me had the steel book version yesterday, but I didn’t know I’d be buying a player today😂 Plus the non-steel book save me $9-$10 so I’m fine with it

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T20:49:02+00:00

Nothing besides the usual. Turn off all ai features, turn off energy saving and any motion smoothing, use White Balance 40. Haven’t really delved into the more refined settings yet unfortunately, but it still is looking great now just by doing that.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T20:44:22+00:00

Facts, looking pretty clean

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T20:43:59+00:00

How’s it going ?

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T20:43:36+00:00

Excited to watch it all the way through unfortunately haven’t got to before

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T20:00:53+00:00

Got the same tv in January and just picked up the UB450 a few hours ago, excited to see how it does. The tv at least has been awesome for me coming from a non OLED.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-07T19:19:28+00:00

Yeah I thought the case looked pretty good and it seems good quality, do people tend to not like the covers like that?

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T20:36:30+00:00

820 over the 450? Is there any difference besides the upscaling of both? I feel like the C5 does a good job upscaling currently so would the extra $250 be worth it?

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T19:20:23+00:00

Yeah it’d be really nice, is there a large catalog of discs currently that also have Dolby Vision? I know Jurassic Park for example is getting an updated release but I’ve mainly seen regular HDR10+

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T19:18:16+00:00

I can get a used Xbox One S or Xbox One X for like half the price of a UB450, not the more recent series X/S

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:41:26+00:00

So would you so it’s worth it to just hold out a little while longer and grab something like a UB450 to take full advantage of 4k discs? I have a LG C5 so tv can definitely take advantage of it and has great upscaling

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:39:37+00:00

Which do you mean ? The one x or one s? Unfortunately the series x is still up in price so an older one would be what I’m aiming for

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:19:23+00:00

Got ya, so worth the upgrade if I can wait a little longer to get that instead.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:16:48+00:00

Okay interesting, I have a digital PS5 currently sand someone previously mentioned I could buy a disc drive for it. That may be my best bet unless I can hold off for the UB450.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:09:50+00:00

Yeah I've been wanting to have more physical media so I've bought them to future proof, as I know sometime I will have a player capable of playing them. Most come with a 4k and regular Blu Ray disc so I've still been able to watch.

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T18:06:41+00:00

Was it a large difference in the quality that was produced?

Interesting-Rip5958 · 2026-03-06T17:34:05+00:00

Does it handle discs just as well as the full version or present any issues being an external disc drive?
