Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far I am very happy. This is my third Panasonic player. I've had blu ray version on 2 TVs for quite a few years. This one loads quickly and upscale of blu ray and DVD works well. Easy to set up and use.

Easy to install. Good quality picture and sound. Have about 20 hours viewing time on it with no issues.

Awesome graphics. Wish more apps could be added other than Netflix and Amazon Prime.

We purchased this item to replace an older DVD/Blu-Ray player(not Panasonic) we were having trouble with. We've had 2 problems with our purchase: 1) unit comes with a quick set-up guide only. This was not enough to properly set up the unit and integrate it with our other components. We were able to find a more detailed user guide on-line, but it is poorly written and often confusing, and still doesn't give us the information on all the features. 2) The main problem we have with integrating with our other components is that an older model of Panasonic (VHS RW and DVD RW in 1 machine) reacts to inputs from the new Blu-Ray remote control, and they interfere with each other. Our work-around is to unplug the older machine when we are not using it. We dislike this very much. Except for these problems, the new unit works quite well, and we enjoy watching it for older DVDs and for Blu-Ray discs.

Panasonic has always been the brand we have bought for the quality, functionality and price and this device did not disappoint. Picture quality is excellent. Very easy to use. Along with streaming functions it also plays CD's, DVD's and Blu-Ray's.

I have some Telarc DVDs that are 2-sided, One side is DVD-AUDIO, the other side is DVD VIDEO/DVD ROM. This Panasonic model will NOT play either one. For example, TELARC-DVDA70541 Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture, The liner notes say "A DVD-Audio player is required to play the high-resolution surround and stereo programs on this disc. This disc will NOT play on a CD player. This disc also contains compatible DVD-VIDEO programs." The disc can play in dts surround and dolby digital surround. As expected, trying to play the DVD-Audio side results in the DVD displaying a message to flip the DVD over and play the DVD Video side. Done. Guess what? "Cannot read disc." Even after firmware update. The disc is not damaged, it is in pristine condition, and these aren't cheap. My old cheapie Sony played the DVD-Video side. R.I.P. If you have a collection of discs like this I suggest you keep shopping. I am forced to decide if I recommend this item. CONDITIONAL yes. NO if you have a collection of discs like mine.

Good and so far no problem at all. Excellent player and just needed 1 connection to operate. Easy to use .

Easy set up takes control and insures optimal setting are in place for viewing, without the mundane toggling through process of programming. Make sure to use an Aufioquest Ocean HDMI or higher cable model to insure the best picture and sound quality!

Excellent one of the best blu rays in the market I Iove it and very modern looking and sleek.

Easy to use, and a great picture. Linked to Wifi was simple.

Excellent product would recommend the player to everyone

I love this 4k player it really elevates the movie and makes it feel more intense. I got it for my living room but I just might have to purchase another for my bedroom! It is amazing!

I am not using it for apps or streaming, only as a BluRay and DVD player. For those functions, it works great.

This is the best quality for the money, in comparison to the LG equivalent. I bought this and it great even makes my old DVD’s look good on the 86 in I got myself for Christmas. As far as why I even can compare the Panasonic to the LG is because, I noticed my older upscale 4K Samsung was not as clear and crisp as 4K movie streams. I went out and bought and bought the LG first but wasn’t satisfied with the picture, so I exchanged for the Panasonic. In 97’ my first DVD player was a Panasonic and I loved the quality then, I bought the LG to match my tv in brands even though specifications were very similar. I’m very happy this Panasonic it’s very recommended to anyone who reads this.

I replaced a blu ray with this 4k player. I own a Samsung 4k player too. I actually preferred the Panasonic though. However, I rather recently put in a blu ray of the Valkyrie and while it would read the menu it said it couldn't play the disc. Hmmm. While some discs can go bad I tried it in the Samsung and it played. Ok, so I put in a 4K of Private Ryan and it played OK until a certain part and it froze up. Coincidence ? Probably not. The chance of picking a random disc not being playable and another freezing in a particular part makes it probable it's the player. However, if memory serves It did play a recent Lord of the Rings 4K disc perfectly which i think i tried after the issues. I'll have to try more discs though to see if I run into more issues. I stream alot though directly from TV and watch alot of the movies that way too though. In any case the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the probable issue with the player. Interesting I see another person is reporting the the same issue with random freezing. If it is indeed the players it's not good and I wouldn't recommend. For now I would still recommend assuming this isn't a common issue. Since owning for almost 4 months though I can't return it so hopefully this doesn't become worse or more of an issue.

We were never really able to appreciate our 4k television with our old Blu-ray player. Now, it is like we have a movie theater in our living room! Easy hookup and setup. Great quality. Definitely worth the extra $20 over the competition model.

This 4k player gives you the ability to change the HDR settings which can really help improve the overall HDR picture depending on your TV/Display. Its very responsive when playing movies and seems to work well. I dont use the internal apps such as Netflix so cant comment on those. I also tried the Sony x700 and I feel the Panasonic Ub420 is better all around despite not having Dolby Vision.

This is my first Panasonic and 4K player purchased. I love the 4K quality and upgrade over the standard blu ray player. I'm extremely happy with the price and performance of this player and would highly recommend it.

Besides this player being picky on playing video files I play from a USB drive, this is the best 4K Blu-ray player I've used. Plays disc content flawlessly and makes sure everything looks and sounds great.

For those looking for a great (budget) reference 4K Bluray player, this is a great option. Panasonic has always been keen on making sure the features they put into every blu-ray player actually matter and perform well. For example, their chroma performance has always performed well and compete at the level of other high-end blu-ray players (yes, even OPPOs). They did cut corners on some things in order to keep the costs low, such as the build quality (very light cheap plastic-feeling) and very basic remote. However, this blu-ray player performs where it matters, and that it when it's playing 4K Disc movies. Highly recommend for those AV enthusiastic who don't want to spend a whole lot on a bluray player but still want high quality picture.
