Is this a superior 4K player to the Xbox one X?

JasonM1Any dedicated 4k blu ray player is better than the Xbox one X. At least thats what i've researched.

Ap717I’ve ultimately come to the opposite conclusion. The Xbox One S/X had some playback issues and colour accuracy problems at launch with 4K Bluray, but those have all since been fixed in patches.
i ultimately got the Xbox One S because I have a soundbar 5.1 setup that only takes Dolby Digital 5.1 (no DTS), and the LG doesn’t convert audio to DD5.1. The Xbox does, and gets solid longterm support.
The only other comparably-affordable UHD player I saw that could do that is the Samsung, but then it doesn’t support Dolby Vision (while the Xbox will be getting it in a few more months).

astromaddieI didn't want to deal with waiting lol.
I have a ps4 pro so I didn't feel buying another console that had games I could just buy for my PC.
On top of that fact of with all the issues with it at the time (Dolby vision, Dolby atmos, playback compatibility) I don't have that issue with my sound bar as it's newer_ish and supports dts/dd and has dtsx. Unfortunately it doesn't have dolby atmos but dtsx does make up for it quite a bit.

JasonM1I bought a one S just for the 4K bluray player. Sold it once good players became affordable, don’t miss it at all. I bought a Sony UBPX800, and it had a much better picture out of the box than the One S. Wish I had a LG though to match the Lg OLED tv, but I guess now I have a Sony 4K Blu-ray player that matches my PS4 Pro. Wish it was only one device!
