4K Blu-ray player with hi-res audio

Panasonic - DP-UB420 - Streaming 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio was easy to setup. Thankfully I had a spare high speed hdmi. At the time this player was cheaper than the other hi-res audio players. The biggest problem is ... the remote. The remote has a poor layout of buttons. The buttons navigation are situated too close to Netflix button and menus. Easy to misclick. There are some of the standard streaming apps. Doesn’t support Disney plus. I would recommend a separate streaming device.
4K blu-ray visually looks great. Quick loading too. The hi-res audio sounds fantastic when watching blu-ray and other media types.
Dear Customer, thank you for the feedback. We appreciate your comments and have passed them along to the correct team for future considerations.

A 3rd 4k UHD for our home. We love physical media and needed another unit. 4K Blu-Ray provide the best experiences. This one does all of the Dolby products, Atmos and Vision as well as HDR10. It makes older Blu-Rays look fantastic as well. A very excellent player. It has APS for streaming as well including all of the major ones, Apple+, Netflix, Disney, Prime etc
Your feedback means a lot to us. We're glad you're pleased with our product and the 5-star rating you've given us. -M

Panasonic makes the best Blu-ray players on the market today, period. This one is an incredible value. The only thing it's missing from its more expensive siblings is Dolby Vision, front display, and a sturdier/heavier build. None of that mattered to me, so this was perfect for the price. The improvement from my Xbox One X is very noticeable. The HDR performance is superb on my JVC projector. Don't hesitate! Amazing picture.

Reliable stand alone 4k Blu Ray player. Plays much better than my Xbox did. No Dolby Vision but shouldn't be a problem if your TV doesn't support it.
What's the nice surprise??? Was open box model and it came with a free copy of Gran Turismo haha.
Thank you for the glowing review and the 5-star rating. We're delighted to have provided you with a positive experience. -M

one of the best 4k players out there. Image quality at the top with the best players. I also have the big brother 820. which I think is the best player around for the price. but this player and the sony x-700 are the best budget players you can buy. the 420 does not support dolby vision and the sony does. you will love this player.

This is an easy user friendly equipment. Plug & Play! The 4K is making my TV set (also Panasonic) using high res-Audio DVD/CD/3D Blu-Ray player a blast! Super sharp and clear! Very vivid! And you can stream your shows with Rj-45 or wireless input, or surf the net, very cool indeed. We needed an upgrade and this is an impressive machine.

4K Player Produces Great Images

If you're looking for a solid 4K player that does it all, this is the one to buy.
It produces razor-sharp images and plays Blu-ray and DVD discs as well. It even up-converts DVDs to Blu-ray quality. It will even play 3D discs.
This is a true wireless streaming player. Just find your network and add your password and you can stream many apps.
My only complaint is that at this price point it should have had a time display on the front of the unit. Higher-priced Panasonic 4K players have this function.
The Panasonic DP-UB420 is great way to view not only your 4K discs, but other formats as well.

I really like Panasonic Blu-Ray players for their quality and versatility. I still own some 3D Panasonics from pre-2010 and they work beautiful. These are real workhorses and the pictures look awesome, even on my old ones. You can't go wrong buying one of these. One thing that I did find out is I don't recommend using the Quick Start feature as I found the player was continually warm. Almost too warm across the top even when you aren't using it. Once I turned that off in settings it's just as it should be. I highly recommend these players and I will buy no other brand.

Amazing 4k Player

Do not underestimate this product. I originally purchased this since my TV is 8 years old and I plan to replace it soon. This 4k player took my movies to another level. Watched Back to the Future and Jurassic Park and I saw things I never seen. If you need a 4k player get this one. It is even better than my Xbox One S which is 4k converted. I saw other comments saying it was slow to load and that it makes noise. I did not have that issue so far.
Wow, thank you for the awesome review! We're so happy to hear that the 4K player has taken your movie experience to the next level, especially with classics like Back to the Future and Jurassic Park! It's great that you're seeing new details you hadn't noticed before. We're also thrilled to hear that you haven't had issues with loading or noise, sounds like it's working perfectly for you! Thanks for recommending it; we agree that this 4K player is a fantastic choice for upgrading your viewing experience. Enjoy many more amazing movie nights! - S

I have several ones that I was able to get on sale. I have one connected to each of my 4K tv sets. They are easy to set up and use. Picture quality is excellent.

DVD (BlueRay) players aren’t as good as they were back in the 1990’s. A few years ago I bought a Sony BlueRay player that was awful!! I love Panasonic and when I saw this BlueRay player advertised, I immediately purchased it. It’s not perfect, but its MUCH better than the Sony. The Panasonic has power and ejection buttons that are mechanical and actually work (I don’t end up with discs stuck in the machine). When it starts up, it’s easy to navigate to what you want to do (you don’t have to wade through a huge list of streaming services just to get to the video option like with Sony. It’s FIRST on the list). I have yet to have the computer in it get “confused” about what it’s doing, like happens with Sony. The only negative experience I’ve had so far is one disc part way through stopped playing and the player did lock up. I had to manually eject the disc to resolve the issue. In fairness, it probably was a bad disc, not the player itself.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us! We're glad you're pleased with our product! Regarding the disc playback interruption, it's possible that the issue was related to the disc itself rather than the player. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy using your player! -M

Works Great with JVC Projector

I purchased this to go with a JVC 8K laser projector. I purchased it because of its' recommended compatibility with JVC and the settings allow me to specifically indicate it is connected to a projector. I like that it has a dedicated HDR button that lets me quickly change the level of brightness with HDR content. I like that the settings allow me to make lots of other changes like upping the brightness on 3D movies.
I have two main gripes with this player. First the remote control is horribly designed. I am constantly pushing the wrong button by mistake because of the awkward button layout. And second this player only has Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime available as the major streaming services. There is no option to add more like Hulu or Disney+ or the other popular streamers.
While I wish this model had Dolby Vision, no projector can do Dolby Vision anyway. The player can do HDR10+ which is a nice alternative and makes up for the lack of Dolby Vision, although few programs are in HDR10+.
Overall I am very happy with this player and I have alternatives to make up for anything this player can't do.
Hello there! Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear your new 4K Blu-ray player is delivering the great disc performance you were looking for. Even without the streaming features, it’s great to know it’s providing a smooth, reliable experience for your movie collection. Enjoy every film night in stunning clarity! - F

I first bought the #820 Model. Great picture. Great everything. It was so good with my 75" series 9 Quantum Dot HDR TV that it was on 24/7. SO......I bought its little brother to give it a rest. (BUY EXTENDED WARRANTEES). Note: I do not feel sorry for people that do not buy extended warrantees, these things are made in China. (If it was made in the USA it would cost $1000.00 and still could fall apart.) Back to review...The little brother the #420 has the exact same GPU (guts inside). Same picture and same sound. I only use HDR10+ so Dolby Vision is not an issue. I also think that anything "Dolby" is like "THX". Just a brandname to charge more money. OH' and the remote is even the same. I got a small quiet fan to put in back, all these players run hot and caring for them, keeping the discs clean and wiping down with a anti-static will prolong the life for a long time. It has been 3 weeks with this player running 24/7 (my dog watches the TV) and ZERO problems. Cheers!

Best 4k player if you dont care for Dolby Vision!!

I tried multiply 4k players and this is the best one....simply because the Panasonics optimizer feature is stunning.....gives HDR movies that Wow factor. Only downfall.....no Dolby Vision....if you want Dolby Vision, you have to step up to the ub820 and the price almost doubles.
But, if you own a Samsung TV....then this is perfect since Samsung cant display Dolby Vision......makes this the best 4k player for all the Qled lovers !!

The picture quality is great! Super easy set up, remote control a little weird not a fan of layout. Unfortunately doesn't have option to expand aspect ratio of older movies.

I bought this player on sale from the Best Buy website and had it delivered. It arrived on time, so I was very happy about that. Unboxing and hooking up the player also went pretty quickly. Once I powered the player on I did the typical plug and play settings that you do with most devices nowadays. I also performed a software update during this time, which did take a bit of time to complete. So far, I have watched 3 blu-rays with this unit. It performed very well with really great picture and sound quality. I have not tested or used the networking functions of this unit yet. My 4k TV has internet functions built in, so I stream using the TV itself. I probably won't really use the player's networking features for that reason. The small footprint of this player is nice, so it can fit in smaller spaces. Build quality is just ok, but I do like the design of the remote. I prefer the design of this remote over the one that comes with many Sony players. One feature that I really like is the ability to choose your own background for the home screen. While this player will not be as nice as many of the higher end Panasonics or Sony's, it is a great deal for those who want a player that isn't the most entry-level, but not so high end that it will break the bank. So far, I am pretty happy with this unit.
