Hi All,
I need to ask this questions best streaming device / software for 4k Contents :
I have all my 4k contents in my Synology DS 1019+ NAS , and I have OLED LG 65" and also EPSON tw-9400
As unfortunately I have bright walls , the quality I get the 4k contents streaming is very important for my projector : so far I have tried :
- Plex player in my PC and NAS
- Plex and Infuse in Apple TV
- Plex in Roku
- Plex in Amazon Fire TV Stick
I was happy how smoothly infuse could play my files directly with no transcending but I could get the lowest quality in colour and contrast … the other devices pretty much the same only apple TV was a bit better …
then recently I bought a Sony Blueray player just in case I get some blueray to play … it is UBP-X700… I have some Marvel 4k and the quality is much better than any of my 4k contents I played using above method… then I thought just use the Network player in the Sony UBP-X700… oh God, I couldn’t believe it …the same content I played using above methods even in apple TV , played in Sony in much much better quality both in colours, clarity and contrast specially with my current room it was much enjoyable with the least wash out…
then I wonder, what Sony is using as player…although it is primitive in many ways ( searching the contents is a pin, has some issue with the Audio of some format , has issue with subtitle…) but it is my favourite even with difficulty so I guess what I want to ask is : anyone knows which player Sony is using and do we have something similar as stand alone software so I can install in any of my player ? if for example Plex could get the same player and mix their all abilities with Sony video quality , it would be the ultimate streamer…
I appreciate if you let me know what you think and if I should try any other software or device?
