Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great 4K blu-ray player and it's made even better by comparing it to existing 4K blu-ray players. Samsung got out of making blu-ray & 4K blu-ray players a few years ago, Philip's has trouble consistently making reliable units, in part to now being owned & manufactured by Funai. LG isn't a bad option, as long as you either have a separate DVD player or no DVD video collection. Sony has 2 key models. The most affordable is extremely competitively priced to this however has a known defect that Sony refuses to acknowledge, much less attempt to fix, in that many 4K movies have freezing issues. So avoid a known glitchy unit. Sony's other offering is better in that regard, but is also considerably more expensive. See? It's a simple comparison that takes a decent model like this and really pushes it to the top of the list overall. The only downside I see is that this model is rarely on sale, and Panasonic's somewhat more basic (and more affordable) model 4K blu-ray player is like trying to find a PS5 the day before Xmas. Still, for what's here there's really plenty to love. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a 4K blu-ray player.

The 4k picture quality is as good as advertised! The upscaling exceeded my expectations. Can't evaluate the streaming because I haven't used it that way. I have a 4K smart tv with a high tech Android box. But for my purpose this Blue-ray/DVD is a steal at this price

Very nice picture, all functions are easy enough to use.

Great player with The BEST picture quality ever but.... User interface is a bit cumbersome for those who like to customize their experience. Build quality is minimal for the price point, makes the player a little noisy. Panasonic has disabled the NTSC~PAL video converter for Region A & 1 units which made mine USELESS for my needs. Very RUDE. I have many Region 0 PAL DVDs in my collection. WE NEED AN ALL REGION OPTION PLAYER AND PANASONIC REFUSES TO MEET THIS NEED. I am therefore NOT IMPRESSED. *REGION FREE NOW*

So far so good! Bought two of these last week while they were on sale and have watched several DVD, bluray, and 4K videos so far. They have all played well and look great! We didn't notice a major difference in the picture quality compared to our older Samsung 4K player, but the Panasonic is SO MUCH quieter during playback. Several 4K discs that made a loud vibrating sound in our Samsung player were silent during playback in the Panasonic. I'm super sensitive to sound, so that alone was worth the price to me. Highly recommended!

Had just bought a Sony 800/m2 player 3 month ago, returned it in 28 days for another due to freezing picture, well 60 days later same issue, so its Junk. Went and bought this panasonic and wow what a difference. Picture is Billiant, sound is great. We have a Bose 600 sound system. This player is Awesome. Way better than then Sony junk we wasted our money on. This player is all u need.

People are taking stars off just because of the way this looks, which is just stupid. No one's gonna care that this is a small black box when it's letting them watch the John Wick trilogy in amazing 4k Blu-ray HDR10+! If, like our family room TV, yours doesn't have Dolby Vision, then this is perfect. If you do, and you want DV, then save up for the 820. If not, you can still set the audio mode to 'bitstream' and to let your receiver/soundbar system decode Atmos!

I was trying to decide between this one here and the UB-820, only main difference between the two is this one doesn’t support Dolby Vision, in all honesty I really can’t tell the difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10+. They look identical. 4K movies on this is wonderful and Dolby Atmos is great as well. The 420, 820, and 9000 all use the same processor so picture quality is identical. Save your money and go with the 420. Unless Dolby Vision is just absolutely 100% a must for you.

Very nice Panasonic Blu-ray player. Good size, easy to install and simple to operate.

Works as advertised., Why not a 5. let's see what happens in 6 months. I suspect it would be a 5 star. but hey, they want an answer now. so, it gets a 4 star. (Hedging my bet) This replaced a 20 YO DVD player. video is much better than the old one. (Go figure). delivered on time. check back in 6 months and see if I update to a 5. I suspect it will be.

First off, I don’t have any idea if this player is better or worse than other BD players. Maybe all BD players at this point are all pretty much the same, but I don’t know one way or the other. I’m giving this 5 stars because it has played the few discs I’ve put into it without any issues. It just works.

I bought this on sale in 2020 and so far so good,, picture is great,,,sound is good and since then only 1 software update available,,as a streamer for apps is garbage,,i never understood why a physical disc player wants to be a streaming device,,but oveall good physical disc player.

The Panasonic DP-UB420-K provides everything I was looking for in a DVD player including 4K playback and even the ability to play music CDs. The quality appears to be good especially for the price.

A very high quality product with a value price. Yes you can buy cheaper players (and much more expensive ones) but this one hits the sweet spot for performance and value.

It's been great. The sound from my older CD s is even much better. I have yet to play with all the features but happy so far.

Perfect for my needs. Works great and displays 4K Blu-rays pristinely. Don’t have a TV capable of any features this machine doesn’t offer.

Great purchase for a little "old school" / new school techology! Wanted the ability to play my old CDs and this performs beautifully!

After owning two 4K lemons from another brand I decided on this Panasonic 4K model. I am hooked on Panasonic. Superb quality and performance. And furthermore the Best Buy sales people are terrific too. I'll be back!

Excellent 4k player, would definitely buy it again.

Placing order easy, delivery early,connection easy, picture and sound excellent.
