A Blu-rayspiller, also known as a Blu-ray player, is a device designed to play high-definition video discs in the Blu-ray Disc format. Introduced in 2006 as a successor to DVDs, Blu-ray discs offer significantly higher storage capacity, resolution, and audio quality, making them a preferred choice for home entertainment systems.

The format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a consortium of electronics and media companies, including Sony, Panasonic, Philips, and others. Blu-ray discs utilize a blue-violet laser to read data, allowing for a smaller pit size and greater storage density compared to traditional DVDs. A standard Blu-ray disc can hold up to 25 GB on a single layer and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc, while advanced formats like Blu-ray 3D and Ultra HD Blu-ray can store even more data.

A Blu-ray player connects to a television or home theater system via HDMI, providing high-definition video output and multi-channel audio support, including Dolby Digital and DTS formats. Many modern players also support streaming services, online content, and even gaming through backward compatibility with PlayStation consoles.

Over time, the popularity of Blu-ray players has declined due to the rise of digital streaming platforms and the increasing adoption of Ultra HD Blu-ray, which offers even higher resolution and advanced features. However, they remain a staple for collectors and enthusiasts who prefer physical media for their high-quality content and long-term preservation. Some players also support 4K resolution, further enhancing the viewing experience for compatible discs.
