2 Sky Q

Sky’s set-top box offers access to the UK’s largest selection of UHD premium content, from UHD sports, including F1, Premier League football and Test Cricket, to new movies and TV shows, such as Riviera and The Blacklist. Subscripti­on prices apply, however, so look into that first. From £22 per month, sky.com

3 BT TV

For BT Infinity subscriber­s, BT’s 4K YouView box channels a wide range of sports in UHD, including Premier League football and live boxing. While there’s no news on Ultra HD movies or TV shows, at least the BT Netflix app is 4K-enabled. As with Sky Q, subscripti­on rules also apply. From £54.99 per month, bt.com

4 Amazon Fire 4K TV with 4K Ultra HD

Amazon’s £ 80 media streamer is a cheap source of 4K content, although it’s SDR rather than HDR. Both Amazon and Netflix have a growing catalogue of UHD shows, including Daredevil and The Grand Tour, not to mention Netflix original movies, such as the critically acclaimed Okja. £79.99, amazon.co.uk

5 Panasonic DMP -UB 700

This 4K UHD Blu-ray player offers immaculate 2160p HDR content, guaranteed to stretch the performanc­e of your chosen projector. In addition to cracking image fidelity, it’s also a great sounding hi-res audio player. At the time of writing, it’s available for just £369 rather than £ 600. For more Blu-ray options, see p106. £599, panasonic.com/uk
