Customer Ratings & Reviews

The the quality of the picture when watching 4k content and the process of the Dolby atmos is incredible. Easy to set up almost plug and play.

This is a great DVD player. It's insane what these go for these days. Cost the same as my PS5 normally. I was able to get this on a Cyber Monday deal for 350 and then I had 170$ in gift cards so I was ok with buying this. For something this pricy, you'd expect a much better UI. I will say I like having a DVD player that can support large discs without skipping which is something you deal with on some of the other players.

Absolutely the best 4K Blu Ray player on the market. For this price and what it can do its amazing. The best part about this model is the upscaling of older blu rays and DVDs. It basically gives you the best picture you can get with modern 4K discs and older blu rays/dvds.

This 4k Blu-Ray player is excellent. Reading the disc is quiet and fast, while the video and audio quality are superb.

Great, compact 4K HDR Blu-ray/DVD player with full online streaming capability as well. It also includes full support for DolbyVision video standard. Amazing picture and sound quality. It also does a great job upsampling older DVD disc media as well.

Absolutely phenomenal player -especially if you are using a Projector which usually displays dim content when it's a 4K HDR disc. This player does auto tone re-mapping to limit the spread between the brightest and dimmest objects in a frame. The result of this compression is a much brighter experience for HDR content. There a very few alternatives that provide this level of processing and most others cost 2-4x more. It also does a great job at upconverting 1080p Blu-Ray content to 4K. On the downside, the remote is terrible. The buttons are far too small. I was able to purchase a replacement remote for the higher end UB-9000 which is much larger and backlit keys. It works perfectly with this player. The streaming service support is also pretty poor with just a few services supported. Also, from what I can see, they upconverting and tone re-mapping feature is exclusive to disc playback and does not improve the viewing experience for Streaming services. If your intent is to have a premium experience for 4K HDR content, then this is worth every penny. If you just need a reliable player, then there are less costly alternatives.

You cannot buy a more diverse 4K player. It has all the different formats such as HDR 10 plus and Dolby Vision. It is quiet and fast. Picture quality is amazing. There are even settings to adjust to your Type of tv OLED, LCD, Etc.) the Best Buy!!!!

Have re-watched over 30 of my favorite 4K movies and everyone has been a nice upgrade over my LG 4k player. Colors are outstanding and operation has been flawless. Added bonus is the U-Tube region hack for blu-rays worked and I'm able to watch my region B videos!

Great picture, easy to use, plays just about everything. Terrible layout on the remote control. You will likely find yourself accidentally opening Netflix when navigating menus. Other than that I highly recommend this player.

I'd been using a first generation Samsung 4k disc player since 2017, but needed to replace it. I chose the Panasonic DP-UB820-K based on the outstanding reviews from customers and publications alike. I'm always reserved with my expectations for new gear, but I have to say that this 4k disc player performs beyond my expectations! It is a huge step up in video quality over the Samsung on both 4k titles and blu-ray up-conversion. The audio quality is also a good step up, providing greater dynamics. Everything I've watched through the Panasonic DP-UB820-K has been hugely impressive, and that is no exaggeration. It's worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. Highly recommended!

I previously owned a Sony X700 and while it was serviceable, I grew a bit annoyed with having to recon which discs supported Dolby Vision and having to toggle Dolby Vision on and off all the time. Enter the UB820. I immediately noticed a substantial increase in overall Dolby Vision brightness and highlights. I took the time to A/B compare both players hooked up to my Sony OLED and the difference was very obvious. I can't speak to the built in streaming features as I use the Apps on my OLED but it seems a bit clunky. Your mileage may very there. As far as a disc player goes, this is a reference quality device and the upgraded performance is worth the price.

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.

Easy setup. Clearest picture I've ever had on any 4k HD blu-ray player I've ever owned. Clears up old regular DVDs and brings blu-rays to an amazing picture. 4k blu-rays are fantastic

Great 4k picture with an easy to use remote and interface. Great upscaling. I don't use the embedded apps, as they are available on my TV, so I cannot comment on them. It's pricey, esp. if you consider the price of a gaming console, but I am satisfied.

This Panasonic Streaming 4K UHD blu ray player so far, is awesome ! Very versatile & easy to setup. Great Upscaling of older content & great sound reproduction. Internet interface & software selections are weak but, not important, with today's flat screens proprietary Internet access, for this reason only, I gave it 4, instead of 5 stars. Picture quality is beautiful !

Alright, I do think this is priced more expensively than it should be...but there are apparently not many producers of 4K players. It does work amazingly with my 65" OLED and surround sound set-up. Archaic menu that takes a bit to get used to using. It's almost like it came straight from the 1st gen of DVD players, but it does work really well at displaying 4K.

the price is high for a player but it is well worth it the picture is beyond amazing! Mine is connected to my LG CX OLED it is crisp the colors are true it does ALL the formats HDR,HDR10,DOLBY VISION, DTSX,DOLBY ATMOS,DTS TRU HD. This is the one to get!

Someone having one of these Panasonic Blu-Ray Players recommended it to me because of its quality. I had complained of the audio quality of a previously bought unit. The Panasonic plays CD's as well as DVD's and Blue-Ray discs. Excellent audio quality. I have not played a blue-ray disc on it yet because I don't have one yet. Functions well. It has various types of hook-ups which I bought the unit for in order to connect audio to my old "RCA jack input" to my old stereo receiver. Very satisfied. Does have 2 HDMI outputs which I used the one to connect to my Samsung 4K smart TV. The TV audio on mine is set to go to the stereo so when watching discs, audio comes out the stereo only, be that good or bad in your opinion. Would work well with home theater systems connections.

I've been really happy with the picture and sound quality from this 4K DVD player. The upscaling is fantastic and it's compatible with the latest formats. The apps menu could be more intuitive, but that's a small and temporary annoyance from a great product.

This is a fantastic "upper middle class" 4K bluray player. I needed something that had Dolby Vision, as my budget Sony player didn't cut it. This hasn't disspointed me. It even has a USB port on the front to play video files. I also love the panel on the front flips down to hide all the controls/tray.
