The Sony UBP-X700 is a compact powerhouse that offers similar performance and better features than the X800 for a $50 discount. The player includes a host of streaming options, and Dolby Vision support is forthcoming.The time it takes for the player to load Netflix is insanely fast.

What reviewers didn't like

Feels a little chintzy, Not great for streaming compared to dedicated boxes
No HDR10+ support, Noisy in operation and Flimsy build quality
Only supports streaming 4K HDR from YouTube. Both cheaper competitors and Sony's own X800 offer better DVD performance.
-
Console lacks all transport controls and navigation except for EJECT and Console lacks a display
Only supports older 2.4GHz WiFi networks, so streaming 4K may at times be sluggish. Plastic build materials make the unit feel a little cheap. No support for Dolby Vision.
From a performance standpoint, I have no major concerns with the UBP-X700. I suppose the only performance downside is that, if you buy the player right now, you'll have to wait a little while before you can enjoy Dolby Vision support--since that firmware update won't be available until the summer.
