PIONEER UDP-LX500

If you want to wring every last pixel out of a 4K movie, forget streaming and get yourself a Pioneer UDP-LX500. This hulking lump has a reinforced chassis with a suspended, acoustically damped disc tray to cut down on the effect of any vibrations from your sound system. It’s pretty old-school in terms of connectivity, but picture quality is the priority here – and that’s where it really excels. It’ll even spruce up your standard Blu-rays a treat.
