You don’t have much longer to save on 4K Blu-rays during October Prime Day
Movie streaming services are fine, but as their respective libraries and monthly rates change, nothing compares to having the 4K Blu-rays of your favorite movies to play whenever you want.

Movie streaming services are fine, but as their respective libraries and monthly rates change, nothing compares to having the 4K Blu-rays of your favorite movies to play whenever you want. If you want to add some titles to your collection, several great films and box sets are selling at the lowest prices of the year, and some of our favorites are under $20. Unsurprisingly, many of the films we’ve included below will be great to push your entertainment center to its limits. These steep price drops are a result of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, a two-day sales event that’s set to expire at 3AM ET / 12AM PT this evening.
If you aren’t equipped with a 4K Blu-ray player, well, you’ll need one. You can use the disc drive of an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 to watch some 4K Blu-rays, but you’ll be much better served by a dedicated player that sacrifices fewer features (neither console supports Dolby Vision for movie discs, and folks on forums report that their disc drives are quite loud). Panasonic’s UB820-K is widely regarded as the best, most feature-complete 4K Blu-ray player under $500. I have the model just below it in terms of capabilities, the $299.99 UB420-K, which lacks Dolby Vision (yes, Dolby Vision support adds that much to the cost).
