Customer Ratings & Reviews

HDR Blue Rays look fantastic. Upscales standard DVDs to near Blue Ray quality. Decodes HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision. Firmware updates over WiFi. Options on this player are well thought out. You can send video and sound through one HDMI, or split them for separate receiver TV inputs.

Such a great upgrade from streaming. This player is amazing.

It's a pretty nice player. Had the old OPPO BDP103 and loved it for it's build quality and features but no 4k. Missed on the BDP203 so settled for this. Stuff on the internet said wait for Dolby Video but got that on first software update... yay! Super easy to install and got my first Dolby Video blue ray... well worth it. Loads reasonably fast and video is great! Plus it has HDR10+ so it's all covered. Not built like the OPPO... very light and plasticy but it's what's inside that counts. Very happy with my purchase. Works well with LG OLED and has the 10 bit video setting to match it which other Panasonic units seem to lack.

A major upgrade from the Sony x800. 4K blu ray discs load quickly and the presentation is next level. I was amazed with the difference in clarity and motion, along with the sound quality making this one amazing package. Streaming options are limited, however I use an Apple TV for that. If you’re into physical media, this is the ideal player to get.

Wow! What a huge upgrade from my previous movie players. I used to have to resort to my PS5 and Xbox Series X to play my 4K blu rays. This completely changed the game for me though. It really brings out the sharpest picture to my Samsung television and once I connected my soundbar to this player, it was game over. Can't ever go back to a video game console to play my 4K blu rays.

Very Good Player. It does what it says does good. The only thing I don’t like is that whenever you stop viewing a Disc and try to come back and view again , it takes you to the beginning of the movie. Not sure if that is the player or the Disc itself. A little on the expensive side.

This is by far the best Blu Ray player I’ve ever owned. The picture is beautiful and it handles pretty much any format available. It does a great job upscaling non 4K discs.

Good for the price works very well would recommend it.

The most impressive feature on this player is how well it up-scales non-4K discs. Even the most compressed DVD-R footage looks better than it ever will, near blu-ray quality. Currently have this hooked up to my 55" Sony X950H, and with the bluray player's features and TV's features combined, everything looks fantastic.

I love movies! Every movie depends on great presentation. This Panasonic delivers on both. The picture quality is pristine and accurate, and the sound is immersive but to a higher level. Deep, rich, nuanced and enveloping. If you thinking of dedicating a room for movie watching or just want to upgrade to truly get the most of all your DVD collection, then this player is a fine choice. It will not disappoint. It has streaming capabilities, but where it shines is DVD's! Regular, Bluray or 4K. Best player for the money. Most players are ok this one ups the quality. It will bring you hours of enjoyment.

Still like to watch videos, 4K means great picture and sound. Streaming doesn’t always has 4K, this unit seems to upgrade lower quality video so that it at least seems to be in the 4K range

Purchased the DP-UB820 to complete my 4K Ultra HD home theater system. It is a key video source for my 8K projector providing excellent compatibility with Ultra HD Blu-ray disks and multiple video streaming sources. The UB820 also provides the ability to make a multitude of video adjustments to insure the highest quality video image. The video quality out of the box was very good and could be made even better by 'tweaking" the provided adjustments. This "tweaking" might be a little intimidating for some people but it provides the necessary "hooks" for a professional video calibrator if you want to get a near perfect video. I feel the UB820 currently provides the best means for achieving the highest quality video available today.

Absolutely fantastic. You can tell the difference between 4k disc and streaming. Especially if you have spent the money on an Oled. Panasonic in the Oled game here in the states now. Probably have to check that out too at some point.

For me it's the best uhd 4k blu ray player i ever bought. It has some great features that the other blu ray players don't have like oled. It makes my 4k blu ray and regular dvd movies look awesome. I am 1000 percent very satisfied with it.

I was using a Sony UBP-X800M2 and got fed up with the lockups and firmware failing to fully fix the issue. I looked at the Panasonic UB820 and the UB900. The 900 is supposed to have a better chassis, and it has all of the analog inputs you could want. As I just need HDMI, so the cost of the 900 wasn't worth it and I got the 820. Same processing chips and engine. The 820 is a step up from the Sony. Faster to boot, and hasn't locked up on one movie yet. Setup is easy, and the picture quality is outstanding from DVD to 4K, better than my old Sony. You have more options for picture control over the Sony's and more HDR standards. If you just want a HDMI connected 4K Blu-ray player this is the one to get. It's a solidly built unit and preforms great. If you need or want analog connections, you want to spring for the more expensive 900.

I’ve been using Xbox consoles for playing Blu-rays and 4K DVDs for years now. Not sure what took me so long to finally make the move, but this 4K player is seriously worth it. Instantly noticed a difference in the quality of my images and sound upon the first play. I love how sleek it is. Fits perfectly right under our Sony TV. A few people have even missed it when looking at our entertainment center. I suppose the ONLY downside would be the front display does not turn off while viewing. It can dim, but not turn off. Not a big fan of seeing a time stamp right below the movie I’m watching. But it’s not a big issue by any means. Easy to set up, easy to install, incredible images… What more can I say?

So far product is working great. Compliments my sony a95l really well

My old Samsung Blu-ray player stopped working so i asked the Magnolia guys what they recommended. I started out expensive, but I got a little off the top plus I used the $200 gift card I got with the purchase of the S22 Ultra. I cannot say enough good things about the picture produced by this machine! plain old 4k Blu-ray is great, but go to YouTube, and it is awesome! perfect detail and colors in 4K, but you can also play 8K(!) videos and the picture gets even better! All this on a 6year old Sony 930D! Very classy looks with a motorized cover and very nice display. tried to add apps like Disney and HBO gave up quickly, so far. I'd say this is state of the art, except Panasonic's top of the line is $1000.00! I Really Love this player and recommend it highly! (BUT-the remote is a disappointment-hard to grip with buttons that feel the same so you keep kicking yourself out of YouTube and into Netflix by mistake-will be xferring operation to my Harmony remote.)

I honestly cannot take off a star because of the dumb butt remote that Panasonic included with this great player. NETFLIX must have paid PS big time to put the NETFLIX button right above the up arrow button and make it BIGGER than the up arrow button. Makes it impossible to navigate or enter text without hitting the NETFLIX button and losing everything you have done! Ditch the remote and get a Harmony remote to replace it. As for the player, it's one of the best I have ever owned. It plays 4K flawlessly, has many options (most of which I don't enable as I can get Netflix (oh, did I mention the remote?), and also the games (which are lame). The video and separate HDMI audio output, if you are using an AVR amp, are top notch. I can not see why you would spend an extra $500 for the top model, as this one is solid!

Amazing quality, worth the purchase especially using the Dolby Vision.
