Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a sony blu ray player before this one that was glitching and freezing here and there. I bought this after many had recommended it online. When I first unboxed I was a little skeptical as the player is on the small side and quite light. But after hooking it up and playing with the settings, this thing is amazing! Rock solid performance and has never froze on me since setting it up. I hope to get many years of movies out of this!

I debated between this and the Sony. They were the same price during black friday week. The Sony has dolby vision, but the panasonic has a really nice processor. I went with the panasonic hoping it will upscale everything a little better. I'm sure I'll need another 4k player down the road (this is my first one) and I could get a dolby vision capable one then (if the technology becomes more of the norm).

Love the clarity and detail this player provides. However, this is the second one we've had. Took the first one back because of this same issue. When you have a long DVD movie in, after about 30+ minutes, it will just shut off. No reason. It just shuts off. The weird part is, the sound is still going but no picture. You have to take the time to get it to actually shut it down, then have to coaxed it to turn back on. Now, once you can get all this to happen, it's fine for the rest of the movie. Watched a 3 hour LOTR movie, all of them(6). Each movie, after about 30 to 45 minutes, they all were shut down, visually. Sound still going. We still cannot figure out why this happens. When watching a TV series on DVD, it never happens as they are usually an hour or less long. But a long movie, 30-45 minutes, you can count on it. It was very frustrating but we just go thru the motions and get it back on and we know it's good to go. If anyone can shed some insight on why this happens, we'd love to know.

Easy to install. The picture is great and you play regular DVDs as well as Ultra 4k

Easy set up and great features! Love the quality and the brand are highly recommended.

I was looking to upgrade our Blu-ray player and sound in the living room to make the most out of our Sony 4K TV. I ended up going with this Panasonic 4K player because it met my price point, supports the audio codecs I wanted (Atmos/DTS, etc). It works great with the Vizio M-Series soundbar. Plus it supports 3D if you have a 3D capable TV.

Holy cow this player is amazing!! I’m using this with my Epson 5040ub and this player made my projector feel upgraded! I had been using an Xbox one s as my 4k disc player but this Panasonic ub420 is on another level holy cow! Had been tempted to get the 820 but I don’t have Dolby vision on projector so passed on that.

This is our second DVD player. The first one worked for years and when it broke, we were quick to get a new one. We got the same model and it works wonderfully. We watch a lot of DVD’s. It is so easy to use.

Paired this with the Epson 3800 projector and I've not been disappointed. The picture quality is fantastic. Never seen discs look so crisp and 3D content looks better than I've ever seen. The only cons is the streaming capabilities. The interface looks to be from the 90s. There's not many useful apps besides Netflix. Buy an Apple TV to pick up the slack and you're good to go.

I purchased The Panasonic DP-UB420-K from Best Buy in October 2021. I was looking for superior image and ability to play Region-B Blu-Ray disks. Good thing that on this Panasonic I was able to watch Region-B Blu-Ray movies. But, to my disappointment all local Region-A Blu-Ray movies Panasonic DP-UB420-K plays with above average quality. I noticed this deference compared with LG BP175 Blu-Ray that I own too (I purchased it in 2019 from Walmart for $69). So, I connected both players with the HDTV, AudioQuest 4K 48gbps HDMI cable, Blu-Ray Disk, but the quality of picture on LG Blu-Ray Player is sharper and superior compared to the Panasonic DP-UB420-K. Only difference that Panasonic has more colors as for example red as very red (very noticeable like Nikon cameras), but also it has a slightly seen crops/dots on the TV screen that LG does not have. So, I thought I was mistaking and I had to use another new SONY LED 4K UHD TV, new AudioQuest 4K 48gbps HDMI cable, Blu-Ray Disk, and still it was the same. I returned the first Panasonic player back to Best Buy for exchange for another, but unfortunately second Panasonic DP-UB420-K did not make any difference with above average quality picture still was the same compared with LG BP175. Still, I am keeping Panasonic DP-UB420-K because it can play Region-B Blu-Ray.

This is a really great quality player. Easy to use, really clear picture. Highly recommend it.

Canceled all my streaming service of a total of 70 dollar. Wasn't even watching any of it. Now I'm checking out dvds and blueyrays at my local library and with this Panasonic 4k hi res and dvds and bluerays look awesome. Does a good job

Great value. Easy setup and clear pictures. Low profile.

Nice maching - allows you to use wifi with no problem and view dvd's easily - although the remote sometimes doesn't allow certain actions which don't make any sense. Electronics for you!

The device was easy to install and set up. It plays our movies and provides a great video experience.

The product was good and got it on a discounted price.

Sitting back and watching my new 4K player do it’s thing is a wonderful feeling. The other features aren’t as user friendly (You Tube, Netflix...). I should really say the interface isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as other components but that’s not the point of this item. Besides, you might already have another device to stream. But watching 4K on this thing is definitely worthwhile.

We don't have a 4k tv, so I can't review the quality of that feature with this player. We bought this DVD player to replace our Samsung one that stopped working like so many others reported due to a hard ware defect issue. The picture quality, speed, wifi connection, and ease of use of this player is awesome. It does have Amazon prime, Netflix, and YouTube apps already downloaded to player.

This is an excellent DVD/Blu-Ray player that was easy to use and easy to set-up. As a plus, it also plays 3D movies. While it's important to me, my daughter has a few 3D movies she cannot live without (yeah, I'm looking at you Frozen 3D). Additionally, this was on sale for more than $100 off the original price. I know it is only a month old, but, so far, it has done everything we have asked it to do.

I have been very happy with this product. However with older movies that were filmed in the 1.33 aspect ratio it does not provide the option of 16x9 playback.
