Looking at Blu-Ray player options for playing 4K UHD Redbox movies on my Samsung 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 40 JU7100. Want something that's great for 4K and 1080 Blu-Ray and audio. Just needs to do that well since I have a Roku 4 for streaming movies and TV and a Chromecast Audio for streaming music. It should handle legacy DVD's and Blu-Ray so 720p and 1080p plus the 4K UHD. Know 4k Blu-Ray players will be reverse compatible but not all handle older media well. Also not worried about upscaling as I prefer the original format to bad upscaling but if it does upscaling well I'm open to that and just need HMDI 2.0 out no analog, audio, or second HDMI out. Looking at"
LG UBK80 which appears to be the same as last year's UP870 and just does Blu-ray no streaming and no wi-fi. I can hardwire it for updates but most of the time it wouldn't be connected to the internet.

LG UBK90 adds wi-fi to UBK80 anything I'm giving up with the UBK90 vs UBk80? Some reviews point to LG UBK80 as a better model but I don't have ethernet in the by the TV so UBK80 would have to be hard wired occasionally in a different room for updates.
