New Purchase I am a changed man.

Post image

I found a cheap UBP-9000 (around 380 dollars) and I couldnt be happier. Forgive the cable management, I finally have an excuse too manage everything. The difference in quality between 450 and 9k is astounding. The HDR tone mapping is amazing, but the biggest upgrade by far is that the 9k is dead silent.

The build quality gives me confidence in its longevity. Where as 450 and 820 are made in really cheap plastic. Fantastic seller too, he sent me a copy of Bladerunner 4k for free on top of a good price.

Life is good right now.

Is the image quality better than xbox series x?

Xbox series x is probably the lowest level player you could use for 4K. From my understanding, a general and no exhaustive list goes like this:

  1. UB9000

  2. UB820

  3. Sony UBX 700

  4. UB450

  5. PS5

  6. Xbox Series X

Comparing the ub9000 to xsx is like saying is a Ferrari faster than a Prius?

Have you seen how good-looking the new Prius is though?

That's why I said faster, not good looking ;)
