Customer Ratings & Reviews

initially I bought sony x800m2 on amazon on black friday thinking it would be fine without DV auto detection / little better video quality / HDR optimizer. however, I couldn't stand more than 3 days. I paid $200 for sony and $350 for this unit so consider price factor. DV auto detection It was not annoying. however later really get confused if which movies have DV or HDR10.. especially I have many steelbook...there are not infos on the back of steelbook(there is art) or disc. I was not sure if I can manage for next several yrs..

The Picture on this unit is just fantastic. It is a step above the Samsung 8500 and Sony x700 (I owned both) While the picture is a step above, the sound is truly where it separates from the pack. It makes my mid level surround sound system sound like it's worth 10k more than i purchased it for. Just spend the extra $ on this, you will not be disappointed. Also-be sure to use it for streaming because it upconverts and makes the sound come out so much better than using your smart tv app!!!

Absolutely fabulous! 4K is stunning on OLED TV, but what is noticeable is the upconverting of BLU-RAYS is awesome! This player is a very nice balance of price and features. It has similar features like its older brother 9000 but more digestible price tag. Currently the best on the market. Thank you Panasonic for the job well done! Pretty please backlit remote! :)

The Panasonic Blu-Ray player was excellent in its ease of installation, picture and audio quality, and (when on sale at Best Buy) an excellent value. My only complaint was it the way the unit was shipped: It was placed in a box that was much too large and it was wrapped in two thin layers of bubble wrap. As a result, it was free to bounce around the inside of the large box during shipping. I was concerned that it was damaged in transit when I opened the box. Luckily, it worked fine once it was installed in my system.

What a player! I upgrader from the UB-900 to this player. WOW is what can say. It has a better processor than the old one and It has Dolby Vision which is great for OLED TV,s. UB-900 was Panasonics top player back in 2016. Of course right now the top player from Panasonic is UB-9000 but its expensive. The UB-820 is definingly worst the asking price. I did get on sale so that's even better.

Have had this player for quite some time now and am extremely pleased with it! With Oppo no longer making players, this seemed to be the next best alternative and it has not disappointed. It has played everything I have thrown at it and the picture is great - the HDR optimizer appears to work as advertised. Definitely better than the Sony 800 it replaced and I do like have a time display back on the front of the unit. Getting it on a big sale was a bonus!

Truly amazing. I have Apple TV 4K and this player is considerably better. I didn’t think it would be noticeable but it’s great. Audio is improved too. Pair this with an oled tv and your life’s purpose will be fulfilled. The operating system for apps is utter garbage, but that’s not what the player is for.

Easy to set-up, the picture looks amazing. Very quiet!

Amazing 4k player. The upscaling on this model is really good. Don’t regret buying

I have been using my gaming console to play 4k UHD movies. I finally upgraded to this player and it is a night and day difference! This player is stunning!

This year 2023 I bought the best OLED Samsung S95C and realized I needed a much better UHD Blu-ray player to complement my system. Works seamlessly with my tv, SamsungQ990C soundbar and Apple TV. Very happy to have a complete and reasonably priced high end home entertainment system.

The gold standard for a 4k player. Watch LOTR 4k on this and your mind will be blown.

Great buy. Picture quality great! Big step up from Sony x700

I needed Analog audio outputs to feed sound to an older Bose 321 and this did the trick nicely!

I bought the Sony UBP-X700/M. I returned it and bought this Panasonic player. Oh boy, the amount of features and setting are great. This player doesn't have many streaming apps but I have a Roku and a apple 4k tv for that. My 4k Blu Ray movies have never looked this good. I have a tv that can show HDR 10, HDR 10 plus and Dolby vision. So can this player. It's a nice match with my tv. The adjustments on the settings you can make to HDR 10 movies is simply awesome.

After several months with this player, I can confidently say that this solid player. I have zero complaints! Of all the discs I've played on this player (over 50 different blu-rays), I had only one issue. That issue was with Tenet. I'm almost certain it's a disc issue as every other 4K Blu-Ray (and 1080p Blue-Ray) looks fantastic. The tone mapping feature on this player and the upscaling is some of the best. Honestly, after buying this, I have a newfound appreciation for higher-end disc players.

I have not set up this Blu-Ray player yet. However, I know Panasonic's reputation. I own Panasonic camera's to Televisions. All great quality! The top end Panasonic Blu-ray player is now the new bench, and this is only one model / step below. Also, it was a VERY good price.

This is a very nice Blue Ray Player. Has very good quality

Worth the price if you want Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos when streaming from Netflix Or Amazon. Only player I know that can get both DV and Atmos at the same time. Also it can adjust the HDR settings for your display whether Projector or 1080pp TV when you play 4K UHD source or any source for that matter

Works great and integrates Dolby Vision with my LG OLED TV and with HDR in general.
