Customer Ratings & Reviews

I previously owned a Sony X700 and while it was serviceable, I grew a bit annoyed with having to recon which discs supported Dolby Vision and having to toggle Dolby Vision on and off all the time. Enter the UB820. I immediately noticed a substantial increase in overall Dolby Vision brightness and highlights. I took the time to A/B compare both players hooked up to my Sony OLED and the difference was very obvious. I can't speak to the built in streaming features as I use the Apps on my OLED but it seems a bit clunky. Your mileage may very there. As far as a disc player goes, this is a reference quality device and the upgraded performance is worth the price.

Easy setup. Clearest picture I've ever had on any 4k HD blu-ray player I've ever owned. Clears up old regular DVDs and brings blu-rays to an amazing picture. 4k blu-rays are fantastic

Works great, the onboard assistant can be a little over talkative, but unit does the job.

After getting a 4k Oled tv I wanted a media player that was up to snuff. This is a perfect combo with my tv!

This blu ray player is absolutely amazing, the picture quality is gorgeous and it feels incredibly well made when holding it. Sleek design and a ton of features to play with. As someone who is currently building a physical 4K movie library, this has been a game-changer. Finally having access to every current HDR format is an amazing feeling, along with Atmos and DTS:X. My only issues with this player atm is it's UI and its remote, it feels terribly outdated and the settings menu feels weird to navigate at times. Along with this, the remote feels like its going to fall out of my hand when I use it, with the button layout being opposite of what most remotes have. Very uncomfortable to use. My player did not come with a physical manual either, just a setup guide, which is a personal pet peeve of mine since the website has the full manual for download.

Great 4k picture with an easy to use remote and interface. Great upscaling. I don't use the embedded apps, as they are available on my TV, so I cannot comment on them. It's pricey, esp. if you consider the price of a gaming console, but I am satisfied.

This Panasonic Streaming 4K UHD blu ray player so far, is awesome ! Very versatile & easy to setup. Great Upscaling of older content & great sound reproduction. Internet interface & software selections are weak but, not important, with today's flat screens proprietary Internet access, for this reason only, I gave it 4, instead of 5 stars. Picture quality is beautiful !

Alright, I do think this is priced more expensively than it should be...but there are apparently not many producers of 4K players. It does work amazingly with my 65" OLED and surround sound set-up. Archaic menu that takes a bit to get used to using. It's almost like it came straight from the 1st gen of DVD players, but it does work really well at displaying 4K.

Have re-watched over 30 of my favorite 4K movies and everyone has been a nice upgrade over my LG 4k player. Colors are outstanding and operation has been flawless. Added bonus is the U-Tube region hack for blu-rays worked and I'm able to watch my region B videos!

the price is high for a player but it is well worth it the picture is beyond amazing! Mine is connected to my LG CX OLED it is crisp the colors are true it does ALL the formats HDR,HDR10,DOLBY VISION, DTSX,DOLBY ATMOS,DTS TRU HD. This is the one to get!

Someone having one of these Panasonic Blu-Ray Players recommended it to me because of its quality. I had complained of the audio quality of a previously bought unit. The Panasonic plays CD's as well as DVD's and Blue-Ray discs. Excellent audio quality. I have not played a blue-ray disc on it yet because I don't have one yet. Functions well. It has various types of hook-ups which I bought the unit for in order to connect audio to my old "RCA jack input" to my old stereo receiver. Very satisfied. Does have 2 HDMI outputs which I used the one to connect to my Samsung 4K smart TV. The TV audio on mine is set to go to the stereo so when watching discs, audio comes out the stereo only, be that good or bad in your opinion. Would work well with home theater systems connections.

This Panasonic Blu-ray player is more than I hoped for. We have a huge selection of DVD and Blu-ray movies than we put in storage until we watched Aquaman on this and we brought all of them back to the house . This thing is absolutely fantastic, you won't be disappointed.

I've been really happy with the picture and sound quality from this 4K DVD player. The upscaling is fantastic and it's compatible with the latest formats. The apps menu could be more intuitive, but that's a small and temporary annoyance from a great product.

Solid build quality and nice overall experience in both sound and picture.

The first one had the dreaded power supply issue. The unit would just turn off during a movie. Make sure you test your unit immediately with multiple discs all the way through to make sure you don’t have this issue. Return it if you do. There’s no solution. Otherwise. Great image quality. Lots of image enhancement tools, including HDR controls. I have a Sony 4K non HDR projector, so HDR needs to be turned off. Removing that metadata from the picture really takes away a lot. Although they’ve come a long way, many projectors just aren’t really bright enough to truly take advantage of HDR. Slightly older projectors like mine, don’t have HDR at all. As such, the picture needs to have sort of simulation, otherwise the picture looks flat. This projector does a good job of this. The biggest issue is that even with HDR off, and enhancements on blast, the image is still darker than the Sony players. The problem with the Sonys is that they skip a lot. So a perfect player doesn’t really exist yet, at least for projectors. This is as good as you can get for now.

Everything is Great: Video Quality, Audio Quality and it does too little noise! I don't use it to stream stuff but I only tried it once with Netflix and it had no problems playing a 4K video.

All the features I wanted in a player. The menu is a little elementary but it doesn’t the trick. No Disney, Amazon music or other mainstream apps. The picture is amazing and that’s why I picked this player. Happy it did not disappoint.

I bought this model based on many of you tube recommended reviews. What a great player what really knocked me out is it’s ability to upscale not just blue rays but DVD’s just amazing. What a great 4K player worth every penny imho.

This is a fantastic "upper middle class" 4K bluray player. I needed something that had Dolby Vision, as my budget Sony player didn't cut it. This hasn't disspointed me. It even has a USB port on the front to play video files. I also love the panel on the front flips down to hide all the controls/tray.

Very satisfied. Salespeople were helpful,and very happy to explain items I purchased.
