These days physical shops also list their products on lazada or shopee app. Just search and look at all their different prices.
Of course try to make sure it's an authorised reseller with valid manufacturer warranty.

Make sure u compare prices on lazada. I saw many sellers selling cheaper than the price u listed. Sometimes even Sony shop or whatever brand shop itself also has promo or discount or same price. Of cos in the end u have to be happy with what and where u buy from.

Ok, got the SONY X700 from Poh Kim to watch 4K UHD HDR10 and 1080p movies. However, I need to watch HDR10+ movies.

Unfortunately, the SONY X700 doesn't support HDR10+ format

Thinking of getting the SAMSUNG UBD-M9500 4k UHD blu-ray player which supports HDR10+.

Anywhere locally got sell this player?

Too bad my TV is SAMSUNG and has no support for Dolby Vision.

Thanks

Sorry all, I'm looking for new 4k player and was intending to get from Amazon for Panasonic UB820. I'm aware the voltage is different. As below, the description states that this player able to play only USA region disc. All of my disc are from Amazon USA and can i confirm there's no issue as there's no indication of any region at the back of the disc.

This player does not support to play all regions discs. Only USA region disc playback is supported; Blu-ray disc - Region "A" / DVD disc - Region "1".

It's sad that Panasonic has withdrawn from the SG AV market. They make the best 4k blu ray players, even superior to Sony's.

So hard to find Panasonic 4k blu ray players. They don't even retail in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

been to BD and they have only a single Sony 4k BR player and the Sony salesman dissuaded me from buying it !
Said it was rubbish :ROFLMAO:
X700 i think it was.

Bluray players seem to be disappearing off the shelves.

Are there any options in the $250-500 space ?

I bought a Pana from this site ( looks shady but apparently well known )
Now waiting for shipment to reach via freight forwarder .
Can ask them for UK plug as well.
