Customer Ratings & Reviews

This player supports everything. It’s pretty responsive and the picture quality is excellent. It interface does not crash and is responsive. I replace my Sony player that kept crashing in the middle of a movie or failed to respond and so far this player is far better.

Not all blu ray players are the same. This is truly the best blu ray player Ive owned and Ive had high end samsung LG and Sony disc players. This playeris sooo good I had to purchase multiple. Quality doesnt come cheap. Dont splurge on a nice high end TV and skimp on the blu ray player. This is the cremdelacrem of disc players. Yes this player is pricey but it is worth it. You will see a difference when you play movies. If you have the money to make this purchase you wont regret it.

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.

The unit does what it is supposed to do. It exceeds any other unit in its price range. I would recommend it to anyone. works great with my Home Theater System.

The quality of this player has to be seen to be believed! Especially if paired with a high quality TV(65"CX Oled). I instantly could see the difference in playing both Blu Ray and 4k UHD discs, I do not use this for streaming and have heard that is the only drawback so be wary if that is your need. Compared to the LG UBK90, this is definitely a premium product, and I have loved that player and it is now in my bedroom to accompany my C8 oled. I found this by some weird chance as an open box and it appears to be in as close to new condition as it possibly could be.

If you are after the best UHD disk player to go with your main viewing TV (not projector) this is an awesome choice. The Panasonic DP-UB820 is amazing. I'm a physical media guy with close to 350 discs and so far this player send amazing video quality to my OLED TV and amazing audio to my Marantz AVR. Worth every penny.

This player is astounding! Everything about it is perfect aside from one flaw. Randomly about 20 min into the movie (almost every movie) it just shuts off. Not a huge deal, I just turn it back on and continue the movie. I returned the product 3 different times and still. It does the same thing. So I’m assuming it’s just something that happens with this player. Aside from that it’s incredible!

This year 2023 I bought the best OLED Samsung S95C and realized I needed a much better UHD Blu-ray player to complement my system. Works seamlessly with my tv, SamsungQ990C soundbar and Apple TV. Very happy to have a complete and reasonably priced high end home entertainment system.

I cannot speak highly enough about this fantastic piece of tech. It provides a beautiful image, stunning resolution with 60 fps, if the video supports it. This is a rare combination and, from what i understand, the device is also region free, to an extent, playing Blu-ray discs from region a, b and c, as it does with dvd’s and the large amount of region codes that format has attached to it. Just excellent, pricey, but arguably the best player available at this time.

SO FAR SO GOOD IT PERFORMS AS EXPECTED. TOO BAD THE REMOTE ISN'T BACKLIT AND THE PLAYER ITSELF ISN'T THX CERTIFIED. I HAVE AN OLDER PANASONIC DMP UB 900 BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE DOLBY VISION THAT IS WHY I PURCHASED THE DP UB 820.

I bought this player looking to build out a 4K video collection. The first movie I bought worked fine. The 2nd worked intermittently, the 3rd, and most recent purchase, did not work at all even after exchanging the disk 3 different times. I consistently got a disk read error. Since I was past the Best Buy return date, I am now dealing with Panasonic directly. So far I'm in for $140 on a repair with the hope it gets fixed. Meaning this is costing almost $600 for the player so far. As for the player itself, seems good when it works. I did get it to play a DTS CD pretty well. That was a surprise. That was a CD that only worked on high-end/specialty CD players back in the day. I was able to pair the remote with a Samsung TV after a bit of googling. Though the remote as a whole is pretty ancient from a usability perspective compared to today. Given the state of the video disk player market, I'd get this again, but be sure to get some 4k disks and exercise the player thoroughly before the return date or otherwise be prepared to pay a lot any repairs. I did not have any problems with Blu-Ray disks. Did not try any DVDs.

Beautiful picture quality, absolutely quiet during playback and it never had any issues playings all types of discs.

Great 4K player with many high-end setting opt. It’s quick to play even with 4K movies. The only cons is that media connections menu. This menu would takes you back to the 90s

I purchased this 4K player after doing so much research on the Internet.I have previously owned competitors 4K Blu-ray players and they do not stack up compared to this player. Yes this player cost a little bit more money but it is absolutely worth every penny. The picture and sound quality produced from this player as well as its features, it cannot be beat. If you are a movie love her and want to enjoy your 4K movies at their fullest I highly recommend purchasing this player for your home theater

Good UHD quality and upscaling. Fold down face/dust protector is nice. Plenty of smart features but I wish they would change the remote lay out a bit.

Excellent picture and sound. One of few players with both Dolby Vision and HDR+

Pricey - but I bought this because it provides hook-ups for analog sound for 5.1 systems and it's compatible with my new LG OLED TV (4K, HDR, etc.). Hook-up was easy and the device interacted with my TV automatically. Rather bizarre "screaming woman" who spoko way to rapidly at the initial configuration process, but the rest went smoothly. Menus are intuitive, and the on-line owner's manual (50 pages!) is very helpful if a bit complex. Excellent picture as expected. I've had many Panasonic products and expect this one to be just as good.

This unit is super easy to connect and use with the handy set up software. Have watched several old DVD’s and it’s like a new movie as it supports upscaling to 4K/8K through my Denon AVR. Very happy with this purchase!

Best player Ive used. Dolby Vision! Great 4k conversion!

Great picture, great sound, i would of gave it 5 stars, but the remote is tedious, buttons are bunched together and dont light up. Many times I've tried to pause the movie and hit the stop. Other than that. Great player you will not be disappointed.
