Många av oss har väntat, och längtat, efter Sonys första egna 4K Ultra HD Bluray-spelare och under gårdagen (CES 2017) visades den äntligen upp. Sony UBP-X800 visades upp i all sin svartmatta plastprakt och detta är alltså företagets första "consumer 4K UHD BD player" eftersom vi inte räknar in UBP-X1000ES som endast var ämnar för proffsinstallationer och mindre biografer. Tekniktokarna borta på The Verge skriver följande:
"Sony has announced a new Ultra HD Blu-ray player with 4K and HDR support, the UBP-X800. The company is calling the X800 its "first" UHD player, but it did previously announce a similar device last September, the UBP-X1000ES. But, the latter product was part of Sony's professional ES series, available only through custom installations, while the X800 will be sold to a wider market. You know, through shops.
The X800 appears to be identical to the X1000ES in terms of design, though, meaning it's a fairly anonymous-looking device. (The X1000ES itself cribs from the design of the 4K streaming box, the UHP-H1.) The X800 can play UHD Blu-ray discs, stream in 4K from services like Netflix, and supports HDR or high dynamic range content. It also works with Blu-ray 3D, DVD, and CD, and has a USB port for other digital content. In terms of audio specs, it supports playback up to 192kHz/24-bit and DSD 11.2MHz1. It also has integrated Bluetooth to work with wireless headphones."
Tycker du att den här typen av extrem minimalism är stiligt eller tråkigt?
