Props to Oppo for still adding features and updating the firmware on a product no longer in production. The prices on the used market for Oppo UHD players are insane - between $1,200 ~ $1,500 & even more for region free models! I'm glad I bought two when they were still reasonably priced (one as a back up/investment for future sale).

Samsung is the latest major home electronics brand to exit the UHD/blu ray market in the US. Expect more big names to cease production of blu ray players with the increase in streaming media & decline in disc sales.

Time to decide on a few backup players to put into storage.
I don't know if I buy into that or not. I think that the "DVD still accounts for 57% of the market" is more indicative that people are just not buying into 4K as a viable media format. I certainly haven't, as the majority of major studio titles that have been released in 4K don't interest me that much.

I keep waiting for Netflix to go original content exclusive and dump "old" movies and shows altogether. It seems that most channels start out by showing old movies then slowly segue into original content. Then again they still offer their DVD service so who knows? I do wonder what the future holds for older content as streaming services gain steam."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"
