However, before buying this multimedia device, you should figure out which Blu-Ray player to choose. To do this, consider the best device models from various manufacturers. All of them differ not only in characteristics, but also in the price category. Therefore, you should start with Blu-Ray BD players costing more than 50 thousand rubles.
OPPO UDP-203
This player has earned the most reviews among consumers. All those who did not spare money for the purchase unanimously claim that this model is rightfully the best. Among the advantages of the device, it is worth noting the highest build quality, durability and reliability of parts, as well as a stylish design.
The player is powerful and can recognize any disc formats (starting from ordinary DVD discs). At the same time, the unit can easily decode video from 4K format recorded on HDR10.
When deciding which Blu-ray player to choose, you should give preference to OPPO UDP-203, if only because itone of the few capable of playing MP4, MKV, AVI, TS and FLAC resolution files. None of the analogues for the same price can boast of such functionality.
The player has 2 HDMI connectors, versions 2.0 and 1.4. If we talk about the shortcomings of the model, then we can only highlight the high cost of the unit. On average, it costs about 70 thousand rubles. However, for true connoisseurs, such money is not a problem. True, it should be borne in mind that for such a powerful player you will have to purchase an appropriate TV (at least 45 inches).
Arcam Solo Movie
If 70,000 rubles may seem like a rather low cost for a player, then it is worth considering a model whose price is at least 200,000 rubles. Arcam Solo Movie allows you to watch movies like in a cinema. Fans of musicals and opera music will also be delighted with the possibilities of this Blu-ray Smart Player.
The unit is capable of playing all known multimedia file formats. At the same time, a powerful 5.1-channel category G amplifier is installed in the device. At the same time, the signal can be received both via a standard cable and via a wireless network.
In addition, the device can easily decrypt almost all formats (for example, Dolby True HD, Master Audio and others). To ensure the highest sound quality, the player has 5 amplifiers with a power of 60 W each. Among other things, the device is equipped with a radio tuner.
Despite the high cost of the player,the buyer can significantly save on the purchase of additional speakers and amplifiers. The built-in devices of the player are quite enough for high-quality playback of media files.
Cambridge CXU
This unit will cost a little less - 100 thousand rubles. For this money, the user receives a multi-format player equipped with the best audio system. Although the device does not have high quality video playback (resolution no more than 1920x1080), its sound characteristics (24 bit / 192 kHz) more than compensate for this small drawback.
If the user wants a reliable and functional model when deciding which Blu-ray player to choose, then the Cambridge CXU is the best choice.
If we talk about the technical side of the unit, then this device is equipped with two HDMI outputs, 7.1-channel RCA and three USB. You can connect to the player both via a cable and via a wireless connection.
Denon DBT-3313UD
If we talk about the best Blu-Ray players of the middle price category, then preference should be given to this particular model. The best part is that this is perhaps the only brand that does not yet have Chinese analogues or fakes. Therefore, if someone is trying to sell Denon DBT for less than the manufacturer's declared price, then it is definitely not worth buying such a device.
Besides the fact that this model can easily read all known formats, it also supports 3D. At the same time, the device complies with the Profile0 standards. So 3D Blu-ray playermeets the highest demands in technology in this category.

This model also belongs to the middle price category. The player costs about 48 thousand rubles. For this money, the user gets a powerful 3D player with the ability to access the Internet, support for USB (type "A"), DLNA, Ethernet and much more.
However, it should be borne in mind that the models of this particular manufacturer are often faked. Of course, in "non-native" players, the internal equipment is much worse. Therefore, before deciding which Blu-ray player to choose, you should carefully study the specifications and serial numbers of the product on the manufacturer's website.
Dune HD Max
If we talk about the ratio of price and quality, then in this category it is worth highlighting a pretty good Chinese-made player worth 42 thousand rubles. This device works not only as a player, but also as a powerful IPTV set-top box. At the same time, the unit “eats” absolutely everything and successfully reproduces files even from little-known media.
If we talk about the rest of the functionality of the device, then it is the same as that of other players of the middle "weight" category. Of the minuses, we can only highlight the lack of a 3D module and built-in memory and the ability to connect to a wireless network.
BDP7500SL/51
Turning to the category of cheaper players, you should pay attention to the device from the well-known company Philips. The cost of the unit is only 8 thousand rubles.
