Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very fast and fantastic quality for the price. I highly recommend this unit.

Excellent player. Remote needs to be back lit. Very hard to see in a dimmed room. Streaming is good but needs more apps available for my other services.

Installed this past week. (We couldn't find outlet!) Tested with a DVD tour of a volcano in Hawaii. Picture quality is excellent. Very large unit.

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.

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 product. It skips once in a while on newer 4K disks but all do these days, but the picture is right up there with $1000 players. Strongly recommended,

Came in a battered box but was otherwise fine. Always try for an open box purchase! The player itself is wonderful...when it wants to be. Dolby Vision is really iffy. It starts to flicker anytime the system switched to DV. Blu-rays and HDR10 films are completely fine. The trick I discovered is to lightly take the HDMI cable out of the back and reinsert. The problem is instantly fixed. Just a pain in the butt from time to time!

I am using this player for the UHD capabilities and the object based audio. It doesn't disappoint. Even though I am using a 1080p projector there are adjustments and tweaks that can be made at the player level to optimize the picture of non-4k and non-HDR display. It features an HDR conversion for non-HDR capable displays as well, a nifty feature for those with projectors or older TVs that don't have the technology. Only downside is that it 'froze' during playback of some blu-ray discs that my Oppo happily played. I suspect that it may be a disc error since the freezing occurs at the same stop on the disc. If you don't want to mess with the advanced set-up, there is an Easy Setup available. Either way, you'll be in very capable hands with this player.

Loads a little slow but the picture is really good. The colors are deeper on this player vs my old one.

Had the UB 9000 but returned it due to intermittent problems. Bought the UB 820 to replace it. Other than the superior build quality of the UB 9000, the UB 820 does everything the 9000 does for $500 less. The picture and ability to upgrade from a regular bluray to 4K picture quality are superior.

I heard great things about this player from many trusted sources. I decided to buy it over a Sony at the similar price point. I didn't like the fact with Sony you have to switch over to Dolby Vision manually. I watched Aqua-Man and this player auto switched for me. I can't hear the motor spinning disc so it is great feature. One other feature I like is you can enhance HDR brightness from the player. It also has analog RCA plugs, my stereo system is old.

When it is working it is stellar picture, but this player is very buggy. Most of the time will not read disk. Or when watching a 4k disk instead of displaying HDR, its showing in SDR. Have to unplug or reset the player in order to have this working. Disk also skips, but nothing is wrong with the disk. Play yhe sam disk in my lg 4k player or xbox series x, no issues.

Excellent player. First bought a Sony X700, but having to toggle Dolby Vision on/off was a nuisance, and the LG UBK90 isn’t compatible with my Sony OLED. One slightly less obvious benefit to a player being able to turn on Dolby Vision automatically is that some discs do actually contain DV but don’t make it clear on their packaging.

Excellent upscaler. Sleek appearance. The ONLY difference between this model and the DMP-UB900 is you pay 500 more for 2 DACs instead of 1 which theoretically would yield better sound for MUSIC that 99% of the people would not hear the difference anyway. For movie buffs, this is the sensible, best price-point selection. Bought one, read the specs on the 900 and bought another of these instead for LG OLED. Very satisfied.

Great 4K DVD player. Picture quality is fantastic, easy set up to tv and sound bar. Love that can adjust picture to liking and discovered if have to stop a movie for some reason it remembers even after removing it, it will ask if want to resume from where it stopped when reinserting it. No problems with any dvd I’ve tried so far. Overall nice

This is the best 4K UHD player on the market. Stop wasting time researching other players and purchase this blindly -- have used it for 6 months almost daily and not a single issue. The only issue is the remote is absolutely horrible, but can be fixed by purchasing a simple $10 remote from Amazon.

Bought this as an open box in “good” condition. Player was in excellent shape. No scratches anywhere on the player. Watched numerous disks on it and no problems. So far I do not have any regrets.

Great player wish I bought it sooner I’ve always been the type to buy digital then last year I got my C1 and my denon 3700 and added this along with an Audioquest hdmi and the picture and sound quality is amazing it doesn’t compare to digital content at all and I use to use Apple TV 4K so if your on the fence about getting a player this os the one to get

One of the best players for sound and picture quality from your disc. Not so great for streaming and apps. The apps are very limited and very slow.

Great sound & picture. Like the HDR optimizer. Love that it switches to Dolby Vision automatically.
