The Sony UBP-X800M2 does pretty well with streaming, especially because it supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. These features make a difference by boosting brightness and contrast, which means you get vibrant colors and sharper details. Perfect for movie nights with 4K UHD Blu-ray discs! The manufacturer even describes it like bringing the cinema right into your living room.

That said, there's a small hiccup with Dolby Vision. According to our research, you have to switch on this feature manually for each movie that offers it. It's a bit of a hassle if you're looking for something more hands-off. But even with this extra step, the player really shines in giving you crystal-clear 4K picture quality.

When it comes to playing discs, people have had great things to say about the picture and sound quality, which definitely underscores why it's considered a top-notch 4K UHD Blu-ray player. For streaming, though, it's got fewer options—it comes with some streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Video, but if you're into a wide variety of platforms, it might fall a bit short.

If a full streaming experience is what you're after, you might want to think about adding an external streaming device or using a smart TV along with the Sony UBP-X800M2. That way, you get the awesome disc playback quality and a wider selection of streaming services.

In short, if you're mainly after excellent disc playback, the Sony UBP-X800M2 is a standout choice. But, if seamless streaming is also on your list, adding a separate streaming solution could be the ticket.
