Customer Ratings & Reviews

If this review was solely based on picture quality, I would give it 5 stars. This is a vast improvement to my current LG UBK90 player. The playmode is smooth and quiet. Sadly that's where it ends. This was my 3rd purchase of a Panasonic player. Like the previous Panasonic players (Blu Ray), they have an outstanding picture quality, but the laser is too sensitive. Overtime, the sensitivity becomes amplified to the point, most of the discs have a playing issue (pixelation), despite having immaculate, dust/scratch free surfaces. I had this player less than a week and this issue became apparent. To confirm, I played the "problematic" discs on my LG and there was no issue. The fast forward/rewind, seems sluggish and not as responsive as the LG, despite running on the latest firmware. One other plus side for this player, is the handling of 100gb discs, which the LG falls short of (freezes). If there is firmware that can resolve these issues, I would consider repurchasing this player. Shame. I really wanted to like it.

The system is a little pricey, but it works great. The videos come out clear and sharp, while the sound is terrific. Highly recommended.

I don't have any other 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray players to compare this to but I think it works great with my Sony TV. I specifically chose this version because it has the display on the front which shows the current runtime of the movie you're watching. I had been using a Panasonic Blu-ray player which was purchased in 2011 with my old TV. I only upgraded to this since I bought a 4k TV and wanted to watch Ultra HD Blu-rays. I like that the remote for this new player looks very similar to my old remote. I wish it was a little cheaper, but that's my only complaint.

Pretty much go to go right out of the box. I appreciate there is no loud grinding and buzzing sounds when the player boots up a 4K disc. It replaced an older Samsung 4k player and with my Denon Receiver it provides at home cinema bliss!

I have used Oppo players for the last 20 years and probably would still have my UHD-203 if Oppo had not decided to get out of the A/V business. I feared that their support for the players would get less and less, and then disappear. Sold my 203 and bought the 820, and I'm very happy with my decision. Wonderful picture and sound. Panasonic seems to update the firmware and functionality regularly. I considered the Sony 800m2, but for some reason Sony doesn't have automatic HDR10/Dolby Vision switching. The only complaint I have is that the setup is a little difficult to navigate for me. Otherwise it's great.

Bought this along with a 65 inch LG C9 OLED TV. Also, purchased the Audioquest Carbon HDMI. Hooked it up to my Pioneer Elite receiver And what an amazing picture quality for movies. A Player with Dolby Vision is worth having.

This is the best Blu-Ray player I have owned. It has great features and easy to setup. I have had a few players before this one and Panasonic tops them all.

DOLBY VISION, DOLBY ATMOS WOW Both these features work wonderfully when paired with a surround sound system and UST Projector that has both Vision/Atmos

Excellent. Easy install, superb operation; much quieter than the one it replaced.

The audio/video quality that this unit puts off is amazing. It falls short in the streaming department, as the interface is laggy and unappealing. Thankfully, I let my TV handle the streaming, so this fulfills its purpose- which is to provide impeccable 4k, HDR, Atmos playback. The only other negative I can tell is that it's so wide and cumbersome, but it looks sleek none the less.

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

I have no complaints about this UHD disc player. It works as advertised with Blu-ray and 4K Ultra Blu-ray Discs. I have not tried it with any of my old standard DVD discs. I hope it gives me as many years of trouble-free service as my old Blu-ray unit.

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

The build on this player is top notch, with a premium look and feel. The front display is a benefit and the advanced HDR tweaking and HDX Cinema chip brings the colors absolutely to life. Discs load fast and machine makes very little noise. This is worth every single penny.

I had this dumb thought that streaming was giving me quality movie experiences. Then I did some digging and found out why you need a dedicated 4k player. Then found out why you need a top quality player. There is a version of the Panasonic player that is twice the price of this, but doesn’t seem to have any benefit over this model. If you wonder if spending to extra money on this is worth the price difference, I’d say absolutely. If you are going to buy a dedicated unit, then get the best, otherwise just stream. Yes, at some point streaming will have the quality of physical media, but we aren’t there just yet. I tested the picture and sound against the Xbox series x, and it’s not even close.

I got this to upgrade to a devoted 4K disc player from my Playstation 5. The menus are pretty plain but simple, and great auality sound and picture.

So far everything is working well, and the picture quality is solid. Build quality for the price point is okay. will make an addendum as far as the longevity of this unit. From what I’m told issues can arise with disc reading down the road. Overall I am satisfied with the product.

Best player for the price! Upscales 1080p Blu-Rays superbly and of course 4K looks outstanding. Plus easy access to HDR10+ and Dolby Vision! Whats not to like?

Overall I'm quite happy with this player. Great video quality and has both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which my TV also supports so I get the best of both worlds. Before getting this, I watched LOTR 4k on my Xbox and not only was I limited to HDR10, but in a couple spots the movie glitched and jumped. I thought it was possibly a bad disc, but my new UB820 played the disc fine and at better HDR, it was like watching a new movie all over again! My only real complaint is that it cannot read SACD so it's not a true universal disc player. It is not marketed as such so I knew this going in. I previously was using my Oppo BDP-83 SE for everything audio and up to 1080P and my Xbox One S for 4k movies.

Excellent first impression. Has met all my expectations for performance and features. Not many products outfitted with RCA Outlets anymore. If you are looking for a unit that seamlessly integrates with a Vintage Amp/Pre-Amp setup, this is a fantastic fit without reaching for the expensive Reference Grade offerings.
