UHD is short for Ultra High Definition. It is basically used with 4K resolution media. 4K is four times the clarity of a Full HD screen. UHD movies need a 4K TV screen to deliver the ultra-high definition entertainment. If you own a 4K TV and are still watching Full HD movies on it then you are actually not unlocking its full entertainment potential. Most UHD TVs have inbuilt 4K player software which is somewhat not suitable for large 4K movies. Most of the large-sized UHD movies just hang in between or play without any sound. So, why not try some full-featured 4K UHD player software to watch movies in the ultra-high definition. Check out some of the top UHD player software below.

 

1. DVDFab Player 5 Ultra

DVDFab Player 5 Ultra is the only UHD player software that uses your PC’s graphics power to deliver the ultra-high definition on your 4K TV screen. You only need to connect your TV to PC via HDMI cable. The UHD player software features HDR10 mode which delivers crystal clear image on a UHD screen. For HDR10 you will need a Nvidia GeForce GTX 9 series or above graphics card on your PC. DVDFab Player 5 is the only 4K player that is designed to work with high-end graphics cards, though it will work on the lower-end graphics card. But your eyes can easily spot the difference in clarity if lower end graphics are being used like Intel HD graphics. This 4K UHD player works in two modes one is the PC mode and the other one is the TV mode. TV mode will turn your 4K TV into a mini home theater system with 7.1 digital surround sound. It fully supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby TrueHD Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master.

DVDFab Player 5 is also fully compatible with Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray movies if your 4K TV is 3D compatible. DVDFab Player 5 will soon be getting an advanced 3D upscaling algorithm update which will allow you to watch 2D content in 3D mode. Isn’t that nice? A player that upscales 2D movies to 3D, now all you need is a pair of 3D glasses and rest of the things you already have. I say DVDFab Player 5 is the best MP4 and Blu-ray 4K ultra HD player for Windows 10 and Mac. So what are you thinking of just download it and start your 30-day trial with full features and without paying a penny. After 30 days you can easily decide whether to buy it or not.

2. Media Player Classic

Media Player Classic shortly known as MPC is a free media player that looks like the older version of Windows media player. MPC is a free media player and is highly compatible with multiple high definition formats including 4K. This 4K UHD player can play high definition 4K, MP4, MKV formats without any lag. But MPC is not meant for the actual 4K watching experience. If you compare it with DVDFab Player 5 then it won’t stand against it. MPC is good for playing Full HD and 4K UHD movies but with limited clarity. It doesn’t employ any upscaling algorithm nor does it supports 3D movies. If you just want to play 4K UHD movies then use it. But don’t underestimate it because it is still a good UHD player because it is totally free. A secret feature of MPC is that it allows TV recording via a TV Tuner card. For best results always install the 64-bit version on a 64-bit computer. You can find all the basic features in this UHD player like subtitles, customization, dual audio select, screenshot, increase or decrease video frame, change aspect ratio etc.

 

3. VLC Media Player

VLC media player is the only free UHD player out there which supports almost every video format. When it comes to play 4K UHD movies for free with some decent customization options then choose VLC player. But VLC doesn’t support 3D Blu-ray movies and just limited to 4K UHD only. It can also play online videos directly with a proper link. It also provides certain audio and video customization tools and you can apply real-time video effects. Overall VLC is a nice UHD player software but has also got limitations when it comes to real 4K entertainment.

 

4. Films and TV (Windows 10)

If you are using Windows 10 then you may be using the Films and TV app. It is the most basic 4K UHD Player software that is available for Windows 10. You don’t have to dig in much to learn this 4K UHD player. Just open the app and pick your 4K flick and let it play. Films and TV doesn’t provide many options for customization. It is just for playing the 4K movies with almost no intervention. However, you can select subtitles and audio.

 

5. CyberLinkPowerDVD

PowerDVD is the oldest media player which was launched in 1988. PowerDVD comes with a 30-day trial period which is not fully functional. It plays all formats including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray. It is an all in one suite for your entertainment. It also provides PC and TV mode. It supports high definition audio and can upscale movies to even better clarity. This 4K UHD player can also play online videos just like VLC. PowerDVD will be a nice option for your 4K TV but it is not free and isn’t coming with a fully functional trial period like DVDFab player 5. However, you can give it a try with its limited features.

 

Conclusion

So this article listed some of the top 5 best UHD player software. If you are just looking to watch 4K movies then you can go with free UHD players like Windows 10 Films and TV, MPC, or VLC if you don’t care much about the real clarity. But if you want a powerful UHD player with ultra-high definition entertainment capabilities then go with DVDFab player 5 if you have a high-end PC. If you don’t have a high-end PC then you can still use DVDFab player 5 but your low-end PC also becomes eligible for another option which is PowerDVD.
