Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don’t get all the negative reviews. It’s pretty fast, makes non- 4K movies look great.Got it for $399. Unless it doesn’t work out of the box. Not worthy of the 1 star reviews, for all you comparing it to the Oppo player. Stop, it’s a very good upper entry level player.

The upgrade I made on this player was worth every penny. It’s the prefect compliment to my Oled Lg tv. Dolby vision is a monster upgrade to picture quality. The best 4k player you can purchase for under $500. I can’t see owning a Oled tv without the upgrade of this player. A little pricy for your average Joe but you will not be disappointed.

This Panasonic Blu-ray player is more than I hoped for. We have a huge selection of DVD and Blu-ray movies than we put in storage until we watched Aquaman on this and we brought all of them back to the house . This thing is absolutely fantastic, you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

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.

So far I really love the way this Panasonic blu-ray player has preformed. It is very easy to use and provides an excellent picture. We love it.

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?

Excellent 4k player the HDR optimizer is awesome works great ! Movies load fast and it’s whisper quiet

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.

It works Great. Love the ultra HD and lossless sound quality.

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.

After using the Panasonic Blu-Ray player for both DVD and Blu-ray discs we have found this to be a very good performer. The upscaling and audio quality are well done. I have not encountered a disc so far that the player will not handle. Hands down it is a really solid player which I would highly recommend. I cannot say about the 4K capability of the unit as my TV is only 1080i but the DP-U820-K does a great job with content presentation to the Sony TV I have. I really like the menu and content presentation much more than the others I have tried.

My first 4k player and it’s handled hdr10 hdr10 plus and Dolby vision upscales 1080 p or lesser now I only use this for pysical media not streaming so not sure how that looks

Awesome player. Upgraded from a Sony x800, because this supports Dolby vision. Immediately noticed the difference in picture quality with my oled TV. Load times are fast.

A perfect one makes the movies I watch look better and sound better

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.

Very happy with this player! It is great for true 4K discs and seems to upscale my old blu-ray discs very well for viewing on my new 4K TV.

Easily connected and setup. This 4K player produces a clear and great picture on a 4K television! My sound is exited too an Emotive receiver and amplifiers which gives very good sound reproduction. The dvd player is well worth the cost!
