Product details

Advanced surround sound, 4K detail and bright images with High Dynamic Range provide an unprecedented audio-visual viewing experience. With the new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs, you can experience movies
with four times the resolution of a conventional Blu-ray (Full HD). With the new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs, you can experience movies with four times the resolution of a conventional Blu-ray (Full HD).

An HDR10 signal on a compatible display is up to 100 times brighter than a standard signal (SDR). This increases the maximum brightness values, but keeps black tones rich and detailed. By supporting the new BT.2020 colour space, you benefit from a much wider colour spectrum than conventional TV signals offer. With this comprehensive color space, content providers can create even richer and more realistic colors. Outstanding details in 4K for all content. The UBP-X500 includes advanced upscaling to 4K resolution for all content. All objects are optimized in real time so you can enjoy detailed images - perfect for the latest high-definition televisions. Experience 4K HDR movies and additional shading and detail even on TVs that don't offer HDR. Our HDR-SDR conversion intelligently scales the extremely wide brightness range of HDR to an SDR image. At the same time, the exceptional picture quality is maintained even on conventional SDR televisions. The playback performance of the UBP-X500 goes far beyond playing 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs. You can watch and listen to almost anything, including most High Definition video and audio formats.
