Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're in the market for a 4k player, this is the one you should get. The cheaper ones will freeze up at layer changes on larger discs (and sometimes for no apparent reason at all), and the more expensive ones are charging you a big prestige cost markup for features that won't improve the experience for the vast majority of home theaters. This one will just play all your movies without a hitch with quality, detail, and color depth that blows streaming and 1080p out of the water.

With the newly discontinued Oppo, this is the new must have 4K Blu-ray player. Well designed with great build quality. This will play all your discs and contains options that other players can’t match. You can tweak HDR settings as well as increase sharpness in addition to what your tv is already producing. Loads super fast. Can’t sing enough praises! The quality and options are worth the price alone.

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

The best player I have ever used. Going from a Sony -800 to this Pani 820 is a noticeable improvement in just about every aspect of picture quality. What surprised me was the noticeable improvement in the sound quality. These improvements may not be noticeable on some of the least expensive LCD TVs, but on my Optoma 110 in projector, they were very noticeable. A lot of this comes from the auto-tone mapping that the Pani 820 has and the Sonys do not have. It makes even the worse 4K transfers look far superior

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

I purchased this player after returning the UB420 model and I must say that I'm satisfied with this one. The reason I returned the first one was because the box looked like it was previously used because the box was taped up and it didn't have Dolby Vision in it and it really makes a difference for my home theater. This one also looks more premium than the first one with a nicer finish. The HDR tone mapping is an awesome feature I didn't know that I wanted. It improves the quality of even my regular DVDs. Very satisfied with my upgrade.

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

The unit does what it is supposed to do. It exceeds any other unit in its price range. I would recommend it to anyone. works great with my Home Theater System.

The quality of this player has to be seen to be believed! Especially if paired with a high quality TV(65"CX Oled). I instantly could see the difference in playing both Blu Ray and 4k UHD discs, I do not use this for streaming and have heard that is the only drawback so be wary if that is your need. Compared to the LG UBK90, this is definitely a premium product, and I have loved that player and it is now in my bedroom to accompany my C8 oled. I found this by some weird chance as an open box and it appears to be in as close to new condition as it possibly could be.

Plays all high end DVDs accurately (ultra 4k). Fast with plenty of features. Menus are archaic and much of the on-screen information is more technical than necessary. If you don't care about what's going on in the background, this is a great player.

Not all blu ray players are the same. This is truly the best blu ray player Ive owned and Ive had high end samsung LG and Sony disc players. This playeris sooo good I had to purchase multiple. Quality doesnt come cheap. Dont splurge on a nice high end TV and skimp on the blu ray player. This is the cremdelacrem of disc players. Yes this player is pricey but it is worth it. You will see a difference when you play movies. If you have the money to make this purchase you wont regret it.

This player is astounding! Everything about it is perfect aside from one flaw. Randomly about 20 min into the movie (almost every movie) it just shuts off. Not a huge deal, I just turn it back on and continue the movie. I returned the product 3 different times and still. It does the same thing. So I’m assuming it’s just something that happens with this player. Aside from that it’s incredible!

This player supports everything. It’s pretty responsive and the picture quality is excellent. It interface does not crash and is responsive. I replace my Sony player that kept crashing in the middle of a movie or failed to respond and so far this player is far better.

Excellent 4K player! Easy and smooth functionality with outstanding audio and video.

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!

WOW! No wonder actors didn't like HD technology. Blemishes, poor make-up artistry, even ear hair and fuzzy hair on women's faces are quite noticeable. Amazing clarity. We run ours through our 300 watt stereo amplifier into Bose and Polk floor speakers. Viewing a concert through our system will make your brains run out your ears. Your have a front row seat at every event. And we're in our 70's.

I cannot speak highly enough about this fantastic piece of tech. It provides a beautiful image, stunning resolution with 60 fps, if the video supports it. This is a rare combination and, from what i understand, the device is also region free, to an extent, playing Blu-ray discs from region a, b and c, as it does with dvd’s and the large amount of region codes that format has attached to it. Just excellent, pricey, but arguably the best player available at this time.

Pros: Excellent Tone Mapping, Dolby Vision, Analog outputs for 7.1 systems, Separate HDMI output for audio, Hi-Res CD player, there's a lot to love about this player Cons: Expensive (for me)

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

If you are after the best UHD disk player to go with your main viewing TV (not projector) this is an awesome choice. The Panasonic DP-UB820 is amazing. I'm a physical media guy with close to 350 discs and so far this player send amazing video quality to my OLED TV and amazing audio to my Marantz AVR. Worth every penny.
