Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded to this 4k blu-ray player from the Samsung ubd-k8500 being that was several years old. I figured technology wise, the sound and picture would be better. It definitely is. Excellent picture with a few more picture setting options than previous player.

The sound quality is very good. The picture quality of my DVDs using this Panasonic device is excellent. Of course, I do have a Roku 2023 TV that I also purchased from Best Buy.

Cinema quality picture and sound on this machine! The difference watching a movie on this is incredible. There are also so many features and settings

I have a huge library of blu rays, so the upscaling was high on my list of priorities. I am not disappointed. Obviously it doesn't match 4k UHD blu ray disks, but it is on par with the compressed 4k streaming content I get from Netflix, Amazon, etc... So far, UHD blu rays are better than I expected. The color is what I noticed more than the detail. Overall very happy with this player and hugely grateful that I can still enjoy my regular blu-rays. Getting the $100 off price was worth waiting for.

Awesome blue ray player! Had to come up to this model for the Dolby Vision.

I was debating between this model and the UB9000 which is double the price at $999.99. The optimizer enhances the picture to new heights and the upconverter is crazy good because Blu Ray disc looks almost 4k like and DVD's looks like HD. I believe you'll only see the value if you have a higher end TV though.

Best 4K UHD blu-ray player currently on the market. With the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision features, theres nothing this machine can't do.

Excellent player with Dolby Vision which I needed for my LG OLED TV. Middle-of-the-road unit has most features I would want from the UB9000 and has build quality (average) from UB420. Don't buy for streaming apps, use dedicated streaming app for that.

Very good product. Easy to use and good operation.

Works very good, plays all formats even foreign coded blu rays. Biggest selling point is the dolby vision which other lower end video players don't have.

Panasonic was never a consideration until this player. The lack of high end Blue Ray/ 4k DVD in the market strengthens justification of Panasonic high cost with excellent results.

Love this player. It has virtually no hiccups. The firmware needs work for watching anything in dolbyvision. The screen will flicker, which is disappointing. Look for a great deal on an open box model and it’s worth it. $350 and it was like brand new.

This unit lives up to its billing. Easy to set up, easy to use, a remote that does everything you need, and picture and sound quality of the highest order. Well worth the mkney!

My 4k player was 5 years old and worked great but I kept reading about how great this Panasonic was for picture and sound. I noticed an immediate improvement in both. So clear and the sound was amazing. So happy I upgraded

Great quality of sound and image, outstanding... You get what you pay for, it's pricey compared to other models but 100% worth the money as long as you have a good HDR 4K tv and a receiver capable of handling the sound experience.

Great picture, great sound. Hdr optimiser is a game changer.

If you have a Dolby Vision capable set and 4k disc purchase this player. The tone mapping and video processing capabilities enhance every movie but, specifically top notch mastered DV presentations. The DP-UB820-K is worth every penny in an age of deprecated physical media.

This is by far the best player out there for the price. I've had nothing but Panasonic's for the last five years before that it was Samsung. The Samsung's all were junk. I tried a Samsung for a little while right before this one and it was all right but nowhere near, did it have as good of a picture and settings for the price.

Best 4k player with dolby vjsion for the price. Got it on sale. If you have doubts wanting a 4k player but have a ps5 or xbox. Just buy it. This is better and has dolby vision!

Pairing this player with a Sony 77A80J made a world of difference. Before I was playing the 4k disks from PS5 but the image was not even close what the UB820 can produce in HDR or DV.
