The Sony UBP-X800M2 is a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, plus Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio passthrough. This version is hardware-modified to play Blu-rays from all regions (A, B, C) and DVDs from all regions, and the modification survives manufacturer firmware updates. It also upsamples standard Blu-rays to near-4K and plays high-resolution audio files. It suits disc collectors with imports and home theater owners who want a solid disc transport; it is not a streaming-first device and lacks analog audio outputs.

Owners rate it highly, praising picture quality, the region-free playback and the fact that firmware updates do not break the modification. Complaints are mostly about the lack of a front display and the sparse streaming app selection.
