Although Criterion and other boutique labels are releasing more films on 4K UHD, I’m scared about how the number of manufacturers producing players keeps shrinking.

Sony has now discontinued its final dedicated 4K player in Japan, following Samsung, Oppo and LG. Panasonic is still making players, and the PlayStation still works, but the choices are narrowing.

There’s a real tension here between the growing number of 4k discs available from boutique labels like Criterion and the fact that it will be difficult to find ways to play them.
