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

There's never been a better time to start curating a comprehensive home cinema blu-ray library. With an ever-increasing body of 4K films available on disc, prices falling fast and growing numbers of customers abandoning streaming subscriptions, whether you're looking to get started or hunting for an upgrade, this is the opportune moment to invest in 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...
