Save money on seriously good Blu-ray player deals and 4K Blu-ray players

With an expanding body of 4K films available on disc and prices falling fast, curating a comprehensive home cinema library has never been easier. Whether you're looking to get started or hunting for an upgrade,  there's never been a better time to pick up a new Blu-ray player. The very best picture and audio experience for movies still come from a disc and these nifty machines deliver class-leading surround sound and top-quality 4K HDR images.

If you've got yourself a shiny new 4K TV, then it deserves an equally capable Blu-ray player for the ultimate quality.

On a tight budget? Even a good 1080p Blu-ray player will offer a significant HD jump over DVD players but 4K is the way to go if possible. Keep your eyes open for a player that delivers both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision or at least whichever of the current dynamic HDR standards that your TV supports.

Here's a handpicked selection of today's best Blu-ray player deals, including discounts on some of our favourite models. There are some serious bargains below...
