Customers recognize the DMP-UB900's exceptional picture quality and effective upscaling capabilities, frequently praising its ease of use and attractive design. However, some customers find the price point to be high and express disappointment with the limited app selection. The remote control also receives positive feedback for its design and functionality.
I have waited over a year for this Panasonic 4K Player. It was worth the wait. As long as you have a quality 4K television you won't be disappointed. The picture exceeded my expectations. Please keep in mind you need to purchase high quality HDMI cables to obtain the best possible picture. I purchased the Carbon Series from AudioQuest. The Dmp-ub900 is also very easy to set up and use. You do not need to be an expert. It has some very cool options as well. It has both coaxial and optical hookups for sound. A detachable power cord. If you are not using the remote, the 'on/off' and 'disk tray open' are touch sensitive, no buttons. And like my Panasonic television it is THX certified. It is almost a piece of highly functional piece of art. The remote is also very easy to use and is brightly illuminated by the touch of a button in dark rooms. I got mine on sale, but still would have paid full price. Absolutely no regrets come with this purchase. 5 stars all around.

This player replaced a competing product, x800 player. The UB900 does an excellent job of rendering 4k and 4k HDR from disks. Set up was easy, and WIFI connection to NETFLIX is good. NETFLIX streaming of 4k is very sharp and clear [on a Samsung JS8500]. While not as heavy as the x800, it is solidly built and feels substantial. Operation is quiet. While it provides a significant upgrade in potential audio capability, I only have it connected to the TV via HDMI cable. No issues of skipping or freezing on either NETFLIX programs, 4k, BluRay, or DVD disks. While the 4k/HDR is excellent, this player really seems to shine on playing Blu Ray and DVD disks thru its upscaling capabilities. The colors appear deeper, in addition to a sharper image. To be fair, the degree of improvement does vary based on the underlying quality of the disks' original transfer, as some disks show marked improvement versus only moderate on others. As pointed out in other reviews, the Apps available on the player are limited to NETFLIX and I believe Amazon, so if looking for streaming use, other players have more choices. Currently the player only supports HDR10, which in my case was not an issue as the TV is a Samsung. The player also has a single USB port. I would say the upscaling of media coming from a USB source is not as great as when upscaling a disk. I also noted, that when playing a 4k disk the player shows it is transferring using the 10 bit color, even though the player is 8/12 bit. [TV max is 10 bit] On Blu Ray disks the player shows it is transferring 8 bit. Overall the player is definitely not the low cost choice, however, the quality of the picture when playing any type of disk was better than the x800. I also found the picture quality on NETFLIX streaming to be equal to or slightly better then that produced by a ROKU Premier+ box. Overall, a very good player.
