Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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 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.

This player is a little more expensive than others. But it is well worth it. The quality is unreal. The upscaling is superior to other models I've had in the past. I would recommend this player to everyone looking for supiorior quality.

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 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.

The only player I read consistent feedback online saying that it doesn't skip when playing 4K discs, and in my experience this holds true. Don't need to hook it up to the internet, so I don't bother with any of the network connectivity features. Last thing I want is a firmware update that makes it less reliable.

Decent 4K player for the money - Dolby Visions under $500 but the plastic parts show it’s compromises

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

Excellent 4k dvd player. Easy set up.crisp clear Picture. Great sound.

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.

This plays old dvd's like they were blu-ray and the dolby vision is fantastic but you have to make sure that you have the luminance setting correct , on my vizio the default made the picture look almost all black on dark scenes but clicked on the highest setting and it was perfect.
