Great. Works as it should! Easy to setup, plug and play

Best 4k blu ray player i ever owned.its a difference maker.dont let the price keep you from biying this player

I bought this to replace a 10 year old Samsung which actually still works. However upgrading home theater to Atmos so wanted a compatible player. Looking for quality 4K player but not willing to drop a grand. This player has all sound features and video formats currently out there to my knowledge. Start up is fast, set up menus intuitive and remote works pretty well. Although it recognized my Panasonic projector it doesn’t seem able to control it. Only gripe is the Entire front panel flips down for disc load only for the tray to be on far left. Seems they could have centered the tray in a more stable configuration or had a small fold-out tray. Front panel also seems to collect dust and smudges easily. Sound and picture are incredible and a step up from my previous player.

Great picture, easy setup, connected to home network and updated with no issues.

Nice aesthetics and solid performance, menu is easy to use and the dialog setting made a big difference on mumbling films like Ad Astra.

This 4K player reignited my passion for physical media!

This unit is super easy to connect and use with the handy set up software. Have watched several old DVD’s and it’s like a new movie as it supports upscaling to 4K/8K through my Denon AVR. Very happy with this purchase!

I purchased this as a step up (??) from my current Sony x800m2. The Panasonic is a good player, but definitely didn’t live up to the hype. While the various HDR settings might appeal to some, they are unnecessary if you have a modern mid to high end TV. None of them made the picture “better”, but rather just simply different. And that very well may appeal to some. In terms of audio, the Panasonic lacked the depth and detail of the Sony. Soundtracks seemed muddled and dull, and gave me the impression that an engaging audio experience was not on the priority list for the designers. If you decide to purchase, make sure you put it in a cabinet - disc spin was loud and noticeable. As for talk of the Sony occasionally skipping/locking up during playback - clean your discs! The Panasonic did the exact same thing with a less-than-clean disc. Bottom line, if you’re new to the game, this player should be on your short list. But if you already have the Sony (x700 or x800) or comparable, you will not be getting your money’s worth by upgrading to the 820. It’s certainly not worthy of 5 stars, but it would also be completely unfair to only give it 3. Regardless, I will be sticking with my Sony.

I'm very happy with this player. It seems to provide a better picture quality than our PS5, especially for Blu-rays and DVDs.

The video/audio output from this unit is Sooooo much better than the LG unit I replaced for this one. Output in Dolby Vision and Atmos where i haven't had it. Makes my C3 all the more worth the purchase.

This is the fourth Blu-ray player I've bought in the past 18 months. So far, it functions perfectly, providing a clear picture and quality sound with an easy to handle remote (something not all Blu-ray players have). Hopefully, it will outlast and outshine its competitors.

Very slow to load . Picture is very good . A bit expensive.

Saw the reviews and hype on Reddit and figured, give it a try. Best 4k UHD player! Now time to upgrade to new speakers and soundbars

Before I purchased my 4k OLED TV I wanted to match a 4k Blu Ray player with it and after a month of research nothing touched the Panasonic 820 for the money. I have owned it for a month and picture and audio performance is exceptional !!! You will find it supports all 4k platforms and brings such vibrancy to video viewing. If you are not watching videos in 4k Bluray you are missing out.

Great 4K player with many high-end setting opt. It’s quick to play even with 4K movies. The only cons is that media connections menu. This menu would takes you back to the 90s

The Panasonic Blu-Ray is awesome. I can play my DVD's as well as Blu-Ray's. I can play CD's as well on it but since I have a separate CD player I don't require it for that purpose. I am getting great picture quality from everything that I play on it.

I tried a top line Sony 4k since I have a 4k Sony TV. I couldn't tell any difference in picture quality from either of my older Panasonic Blu-ray players. This Panasonic 4k player was a significant improvement not just with 4k discs but also upscaling regular Blu-ray discs.

Great DVD player, only problem is the DVD's. I bought this so I could get more true 4K movies with Dolby Atmos sound, not every movie on Xfinity has those capabilities. With a newer DVD it does great, awesome picture and sound. I get most all my DVD's from DVD.com (Netflix) and sometimes the discs can have some wear and scratches, so those don't always play well, not the DVD players fault but a liability of the format.

This is a great, if not in some ways archaic (the UI is slow and clunky, but functional) DVD player. fortunately, youre probably not buying it for these other features.

This player is great with 4K UHD and great with upscaling DVDs and Blu-Rays. Only issues are the dated user interface and the cheap remote. This can be used as a streaming device but it does not have a ton of options for streaming.
