mpv
Tiny player with stunning picture quality.
mpv is what videophiles put against VLC: excellent scaling, HDR support, and a tiny footprint. The trade is a minimal interface and settings files.
On Windows, many people wrap it with mpv.net for menus. Choose mpv when picture quality is the point.
Why it's here
- Excellent image quality and HDR support
- Very light on CPU and RAM
- Free and open source
- Minimal UI — expect a short learning curve
