Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to replace a 10 year old Samsung which actually still works. However upgrading home theater to Atmos so wanted a compatible player. Looking for quality 4K player but not willing to drop a grand. This player has all sound features and video formats currently out there to my knowledge. Start up is fast, set up menus intuitive and remote works pretty well. Although it recognized my Panasonic projector it doesn’t seem able to control it. Only gripe is the Entire front panel flips down for disc load only for the tray to be on far left. Seems they could have centered the tray in a more stable configuration or had a small fold-out tray. Front panel also seems to collect dust and smudges easily. Sound and picture are incredible and a step up from my previous player.

Does the job! I use it on my home theater set up. Images are great and sound quality good.

Panasonic - Streaming 4K Ultra HD was easy to set up and it has a great picture.

Great player. Make even old DVD really pop. Easy to setup and use. A good solid well build unit.

I tried a top line Sony 4k since I have a 4k Sony TV. I couldn't tell any difference in picture quality from either of my older Panasonic Blu-ray players. This Panasonic 4k player was a significant improvement not just with 4k discs but also upscaling regular Blu-ray discs.

Great new Technology helped me save my CD and DVD Collection Connectivity with other equipment has been excellent

Before I purchased my 4k OLED TV I wanted to match a 4k Blu Ray player with it and after a month of research nothing touched the Panasonic 820 for the money. I have owned it for a month and picture and audio performance is exceptional !!! You will find it supports all 4k platforms and brings such vibrancy to video viewing. If you are not watching videos in 4k Bluray you are missing out.

Great performance and video as well as audio. No difficulties whatsoever.

Had the UB 9000 but returned it due to intermittent problems. Bought the UB 820 to replace it. Other than the superior build quality of the UB 9000, the UB 820 does everything the 9000 does for $500 less. The picture and ability to upgrade from a regular bluray to 4K picture quality are superior.

Amazing 4k UHD player. Very happy with the purchase! Best you can buy under $500

Picture quality is absolutely stunning when using UHD discs. Interface does look like something from the 90s, though.

Great player wish I bought it sooner I’ve always been the type to buy digital then last year I got my C1 and my denon 3700 and added this along with an Audioquest hdmi and the picture and sound quality is amazing it doesn’t compare to digital content at all and I use to use Apple TV 4K so if your on the fence about getting a player this os the one to get

Thing is an absolute beast works awesome and is a tank this thing is the industry standard! A little pricey but it’s worth it….

Excellent player. First bought a Sony X700, but having to toggle Dolby Vision on/off was a nuisance, and the LG UBK90 isn’t compatible with my Sony OLED. One slightly less obvious benefit to a player being able to turn on Dolby Vision automatically is that some discs do actually contain DV but don’t make it clear on their packaging.

I am using this player for the UHD capabilities and the object based audio. It doesn't disappoint. Even though I am using a 1080p projector there are adjustments and tweaks that can be made at the player level to optimize the picture of non-4k and non-HDR display. It features an HDR conversion for non-HDR capable displays as well, a nifty feature for those with projectors or older TVs that don't have the technology. Only downside is that it 'froze' during playback of some blu-ray discs that my Oppo happily played. I suspect that it may be a disc error since the freezing occurs at the same stop on the disc. If you don't want to mess with the advanced set-up, there is an Easy Setup available. Either way, you'll be in very capable hands with this player.

Excellent upscaler. Sleek appearance. The ONLY difference between this model and the DMP-UB900 is you pay 500 more for 2 DACs instead of 1 which theoretically would yield better sound for MUSIC that 99% of the people would not hear the difference anyway. For movie buffs, this is the sensible, best price-point selection. Bought one, read the specs on the 900 and bought another of these instead for LG OLED. Very satisfied.

I heard great things about this player from many trusted sources. I decided to buy it over a Sony at the similar price point. I didn't like the fact with Sony you have to switch over to Dolby Vision manually. I watched Aqua-Man and this player auto switched for me. I can't hear the motor spinning disc so it is great feature. One other feature I like is you can enhance HDR brightness from the player. It also has analog RCA plugs, my stereo system is old.

Great 4K DVD player. Picture quality is fantastic, easy set up to tv and sound bar. Love that can adjust picture to liking and discovered if have to stop a movie for some reason it remembers even after removing it, it will ask if want to resume from where it stopped when reinserting it. No problems with any dvd I’ve tried so far. Overall nice

Great sound & picture. Like the HDR optimizer. Love that it switches to Dolby Vision automatically.

One of the best players for sound and picture quality from your disc. Not so great for streaming and apps. The apps are very limited and very slow.
