Customer Ratings & Reviews

Audio and video on this unit is incredible! Previous player was a Samsung 7500, Samsung along with OPPO and a couple others have stopped making UHD players so with no updates and new codecs coming out I was on the hunt for a new player on the high end side. This is definitely the best player under $1000, Panasonic does make a 9000 series with better build quality and more features, but it will run you $999.99. Past that you will be spending more with Cambridge Audio or other brands. So the answer is yes this is definitely the best UHD player, unless you have $20k invested in your set up there is no reason go any higher!

Supposedly better than the Sony X700 I was looking at. Great picture using regular DVDs, Blu Rays and UHDs (so great upscaling) Loads discs quickly

I love this bike, really quiet, good looking bike in the 16 inch monitor make the best work out, in the best way to get in the mood to get in better shape, you can Bluetooth with your phone or listen to music or you can play any music pop country rock on this 16 inch monitor last follow through you workout process. and everything I definitely recommend this to anybody to purchase from Best Buy this bow flex Bellecour bike

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 like this Blu Ray Player and favor it over the Sony 4K player that I have. It streams and does a good job of accessing your library if you have it stored on a NAS. The interface is the same one Panasonic has had for years, so if you are family with that interface it should be easy to adapt to. I have an Oppo 205, that is better but still this is a decent 4K player unless you can afford the 2000 series. It works well with my Pioneer Elite Receiver and LG OLED TV --- no handshake issues and everything works as expected.

I'm very happy with this player. It seems to provide a better picture quality than our PS5, especially for Blu-rays and DVDs.

A premium Blu-Ray player with premium picture quality. I really like how it can detect Dolby Vision from HDR as well as display 444 Chroma

The only thing this Panasonic player has over the oppo is that it has a better picture, not much but still better than oppo. Panny remote sucks, panny slower n movie 2 play. It's a shame oppo is done making 4k players but panny will do

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.

Saw the reviews and hype on Reddit and figured, give it a try. Best 4k UHD player! Now time to upgrade to new speakers and soundbars

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)

This is a great 4K blue ray player. Note that this can play standard blue ray discs along with 4K and , 4K UHD discs. This is the only blue ray player in this price range that can check for and then play any discs that are coded with Dolby Vision. All the Sony and LG an other players in this price range and under don't have the capability to enable dolby Vision automatically. For those players, you would have to manually go into settings and enable DV for every disc, which is a sheer first-world problem! Hence, get this Panasonic player for a little higher price and be set for next few years.

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

This is one of the best 4K hardware player I purchase. Qauilty sounds & video. The hardware decoding is top notch. it's quite expense but you do get what you pay for.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Solid build quality and nice overall experience in both sound and picture.

This player is great with 4K UHD and great with upscaling DVDs and Blu-Rays. Only issues are the dated user interface and the cheap remote. This can be used as a streaming device but it does not have a ton of options for streaming.
