The Theater Experience
I love movies. Movies are escapism for a lot of us. When I purchase a movie for my collection, that means that I REALLY enjoyed it and want to experience just like I did when I watched it in the theater. I purchase physical copies of movies knowing that they come with the digital copy. Digital copies are great for on the go or for quick access when using a smart TV. However, digital streaming relies on the internet and a strong connection. With physical copies, I simply place the movie in the player and watch. When I placed John Wick Chapter Two into my LG 4K Ultra HD player, I had no idea of what I was missing. The LG Player enhances and compliments my sound bar in a way that I didn’t know was possible. It was as if I was hearing and watching my movies for the first time. Movies are delivered in a sharp clarity that you’d expect from a 4K movie, and again, I have to mention that it communicates a rich Dolby sound that impresses me with each movie I put in. Even standard Blu-Ray movies are incredible to watch on this LG Player. The design is slim and modern with tactile buttons on the face of the player and a USB port in case you want to share your own videos. YouTube and Netflix are able to be streamed through the LG Player as well in case you just want to utilize the player as a movie hub. However, you’ll have to upgrade your Netflix subscription in order to enjoy their 4K offerings. If you have been putting off getting a 4K player like I had then this player will prove that the wait was worth it.

It’s a great 4K player for the price
It’s a good 4K player for its price but there are way better ones than this one. Sometimes the picture quality is not clear in some movies.

Pretty good 4 K blu ray player
I've had the LG UBK90 for about two weeks now, and so far it has done a very nice job on playing regular blu rays and 4K blu rays, not to mention listening to 3 or 4 cd's. My LG is hooked up using both of the HDMI out's on the back of the player. HDMI #1 goes directly to my 2017 LG 65" B7 Oled 4K tv and HDMI #2 goes into my Marantz SR7008 for the audio. My Marantz is about 5 years old, so it will not pass 4K signals through the receiver to the tv. If you have a newer receiver, and it allows the 4K signal to pass through your receiver, then you'll only need to use one HDMI cable from the LG which would go into your receiver, then from your receiver another HDMI cable to your 4K tv The LG UBK90 unit is pretty basic. There is not any type of digital display to show movie progress. Something that not necessarily missed, but very strange to see a player without any display. On the front of the unit, there are buttons for eject, play/pause, stop, and power off/on. Next to the off/on button there in one tiny light that will glow red when the power is off, and green when the power is on. You can see the green light in my first photo. And, next to the red/green light there is an uncovered USB input. The rear is pretty bare bones as well. LAN port to connect to the internet. You can connect to the internet wirelessly as well. HDMI #1 out and HDMI #2 out and optical audio out. So, since this is a pretty bare bones 4K player, it is very simple to hook up. But, my player came with just a tiny sheet of paper for the manual. Not much info on it. I'd recommend going to LG's website and downloading the owners manual. It's 61 pages long and goes into much greater detail on the player. This LG will play 4K blu rays, standard blu rays and dvd's. It will up convert standard blu rays to near 4K quality and does it pretty good. It will also up convert dvd's, but I did not try that as I no longer have any dvd's. I was pretty disappointed to find that the LG UBK90 will not play SACD's or DVD-audio discs. The player is 3D capable which is nice, but my Oled is not, so I could not test that out to see how well it does 3D playback. While I use my Roku to stream content, the LG is again bare bones in this department. It only has Netflix and Youtube. Youtube did very well at streaming, and I don't have Netflix to test that app. Hopefully in the near future more apps will be available for this LG unit. A big plus for this player is that it supports BOTH Dolby Vision and HDR10. Dolby Vision will come in the near future in a firmware update. HDR (High Dynamic Range) reproduces a greater dynamic range of brightness levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color spectrum to your 4K tv. Go into a Best Buy store, and just about every tv displayed, especially the Oled's, will show the difference between HDR on and off. When on, the colors and contrast will blow you away. Almost like comparing a black and white tv to a color one. The HDR is more important in my opinion than the 4K resolution. The remote control is not back lit. Something that almost all consumers want, but the manufactures don't listen. I'd willingly pay $5.00 to $10.00 more for something if it included a back lit remote. The remote is pretty standard, but something I found neat, was that it only takes one AAA battery instead of two batteries. One AAA battery comes with the player by the way. Overall, I'm giving this LG UBK90 4 stars. Personally for the regular price of $299.00 I think it's overprice by maybe $75.00 or so. It's a pretty bare bones 4K player, but it plays 4K content very well, and up converts standard blu's very well too. Now we just need that firmware update for the Dolby Vision. Overall, I'd recommend the LG UBK90 4K player.

ask before you buy
This is a good product and easily picks up the Wi-Fi signal from the basement. However, it only came with Netflix preloaded and no instructions to load Prime for those of us that are tech challenged. I had told the sales person I wanted both Prime and Netflix but it's my fault for not reading the box myself prior to purchase.

Ummm....Yyyyeeeahhhh....
So I have a Vizio TV with Dolby Vision. When I bought it at the end of 2016, the only 4K players with DV were WAY out of my price range, also 95% of my movies are now digital. But some of the movies I really enjoy aren't available in UHD digital with or without DV, but are available on disc, I felt "left out". Also that I was not taking full advantage of my recent home theater overhaul. So I grew impatient for lower prices on DV compatible players and got a Samsung 4k player. I LOVED watching Transformers on 4K HDR disc, it was glorious. However I missed not getting the full potential of DV . Enter LG. With all the mixed reviews of the UP970 and the multiple delays of the DV firmware update, loud fan noise and disc read issues, I was hesitant to grab it. Glad I waited till this Gen 2 beauty. Transformers now with DV on disc (no streaming compression) feels like a brand new movie. Thanks to this player I can enjoy the likes of Transformers, The Matrix and IT in all their DV glory. If the price fits your budget...jump on this one.

Awesome player! Supreme Audio quality
The video on this player is superb, but what's even more amazing is the audio quality!! I use the separate HDMI to port for audio out and it made a noticeable difference in my surround sound movies and music. (Note: quality HDMI interconnects rated for 4K are a must for maximum picture quality) Ultimately, it depends on what you want/expect out of a 4K-UHD player versus what you’re paying. I bought it for just under $150, and it works flawlessly. Paired with my Vizio 65" Series P 4K TV the picture is amazing, and my audio equipment detected and switched over to DTS automatically. If your concern is streaming from multiple apps, you’re limited to Netflix and You Tube, but any newer smart TV you would mate with this should have those additional apps to stream directly. Since this is a 2018 player, future software updates will probably add more apps, but only LG knows for sure. I highly recommend this player as both the audio and video have worked flawlessly for me.

Great Item
This is a very functional and nice looking item that I got for an excellent price (on sale + open box item). I would definitely recommend it especially if found on sale. For scale, the tv in the picture is 65” so this is a larger disk player.
