PANASONIC DP-UB820EB

This fine 4K Blu-ray player includes a lot of the HCX picture-processing wizardry that you get in the much more pricey (and less easy to find) DP-UB9000, so you’re getting serious pedigree for a fraction of the cash. Up close it looks and feels less premium, but it’s fully stocked with HDR formats and surround-sound codecs, and even comes with all the main catch-up and streaming apps. Well, not everything is available on

UHD Blu-ray just yet, is it? £300 / panasonic.com
