Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this UB420 for 149.99 plus tax. Which was a great deal. I looked at the UB820 also. Then I watched a youtube video on these products. I learned that they both had the same features but the only difference was that the UB820 had Dolby Vision and the UB420 didn't. But the UB420 does have HDR 10. I couldn't justify paying that much more for the UB820 just because of that reason. I don't regret buying the UB420 at all. It has great picture quality.

I had to replace my old BluRay player and have had panasonic brand before, so i saw this model and i am realy happy with it. easy to set up and streaming is very good, so i can recommend this model.

I don't ever write reviews, but wanted to warn potential buyers to buy another brand. 3 year old unit with very minimal use that basically became a brick after latest firmware update. Unit just flashes red led light and is not responsive to anything. This has been over a several days and have given up at this point. Won't even open disc tray from remote or main unit controls, so you can lose a disc as an added bonus. Player is in an endless loop of trying to do firmware update that never finishes and you can't do anything with player or controls until it is done. Unplugging doesn't work. Factory reset won't work. Spent over an hour in chat trying to troubleshoot issue as well and told to send in for probably an expensive repair. Really? Your update bricked my player and I have to pay to repair it? Not doing it. This seems like this is very common issue based on what I have seen in different forums trying to troubleshoot issue. DP-UB420 had great reviews and wasn't cheap. Only has 1 year warranty and too much to spend for a couple years of use. Won't be buying anything Panasonic again.

Easy to set up, great picture, Has plenty of options.

I really love this panasonic blueray player it is 4k and it gives u the full 2160 4k resolution. Don't buy any other player, I tried like five didn't work like this one. Those other player say 4k but is up scaling and it's 1080p if u really want to get the best out of your TV and blueray player if u have a 4k TV is to buy a player that say full HD 2160p. Anything else u just wasting your money. This player is 2160p and the movies and pictures are jaw dropping. The only problem with the player is that is slow but u would love the quality and picture it come out of it.

From VHS to DVD, and then on to Blu-ray, I have been a long time Panasonic fan. The best (tube) television I ever owned was a monster 32" Panasonic, and it was a great set. Now as I move into the 4K UHD realm, Panasonic is still an industry leader and a trusted brand. This 4K player is an excellent example of affordability, quality, and hopefully reliability that I have come to expect over the from Panasonic. To say that I like this player is an understatement. It does what I need it to do, and it does it well. Nice work Panasonic!

Great player, very quiet and plays all my 4k flawlessly. Awesome CD player as well worth the purchase!

I compared this to Sony X800M2 and this eked out on video quality. I compared it to older, high end gear like Oppo and Cambridge and this looked better. The 4k was super, but the 1080 up-conversion was jaw-dropping. I discovered it uses the same processors as the higher end 820 too so if you don't need all the extra stuff like different audio output, this is AMAAAAAZING value. There's nothing I know of better and better value at the time this player came out.

NOTE: I bought a used player so my review might not apply to brand new ones. Even though the used player was said to be in good condition, the apps only work half the time (Sometimes the video and audio on YouTube are out of sync, and Amazon Prime and web browsing crashed 80% of the time I tried using it). Certain websites aren't compatible with the web browsing app, such as Spotify, so YouTube is your only bet for listening to music online. I also tried playing a CD and it didn't show the titles of the songs either, just Track 1, Track 2, etc. I say this for those who are interested in testing out the disc playing features. Beyond that, it works quite well and displays really nice resolution. The disc playing works and Netflix seems to have no problems which is great! However, unless all the other flaws are absent or much less persistent when bought as brand new (trust me, the constant crashing on Amazon Prime is so frustrating it made me avoid using the app here altogether), I would not recommend it.

Great UHD 4k Blu Ray play! Exceptionally sharp picture and great sound that pairs great with my Samsung S95B tv. No stuttering during playback. A great, cheaper alternative to the UB820 if your tv doesnt have Dolby Vision, which Samsung TVs dont.

This was a good buy it works great nice and clear easy to use

This is a great 4k blu-ray player with the usual Panasonic quality build and picture quality. The extra HDMI output to send audio to a receiver is a useful feature for me. The selection of available apps is disappointing but most people will use apps on smart tv. The other issue is the voice assistant talks super fast but this can be disabled in the menu. The wifi streaming is excellent and menu easy to navigate. Overall a great player, would be 5 Star rating minus above mentioned issues.

I purchased this player over the others due to the processor that is supposed to provide a better picture. This is the only 4K player I own, so I can't say if it's better than others, but it's a nice player. It will take a Blu-Ray disc and make it look beautiful on a 4K TV. The remote isn't overly complicated and the discs load fairly quickly. Overall, this is a great player for the money.

This 4k player is really good, got rid of my sony 700 that kept freezing and skipping for this. No issues, great bang for the buck and panasonic makes a great 4k player

great item and easy to set up comes with everything but aaa for remote or mine didnt

Terrific unit. Great picture. Easy to set up (but I did not like the voice instructions it defaulted to, and I quickly turned it off).

So happy to be able to watch my movies and listen to my CDs. Afforatable DVD-CD player.

This is a very good unit, easy to install and to operate. I have had many Panasonic products in the past and player performs outstandingly.

Simple to set up. Plugged it it and follow simple onscreen menu. So far works very well, great picture and sound.

So far so good. This is one of the best upconverting 4k players there is. Easily worth the price, especially on sale. The interface is very minimalist. I haven't used the streaming parts as our new Sony 75" has all the Android streaming services as does an attached Roku Ultra. The only interested thing is that the TV wants the unit plugged into HDMI 4, which on the Sony XBR900H is 2.1 compatible so I assume that the television knows that it can take advantage of the extra bandwidth. Not a problem, just interesting.
