The UBP-X700U is a great choice for anyone looking to get into the benefits of 4K Blu-ray for cheap, and it can also play SACD discs and CDs, along with high-res audio files on USB. It doesn't get discounted very often, so this is a rare opportunity to get a really great Blu-Ray player for a really great price.

In our Panasonic DP-UB820 review we said that it is a "fantastic" Blu-Ray player; we awarded this player the full five stars and praised its outstanding audio and video quality. It's built to last with excellent connectivity, and at full price it's one of the best Blu-ray players you can buy – so with $100 off it's a bit of a Blu-ray bargain.
