Upscaling of non 4k movies is amazing. Dolby vision / HDR10+

great dvd upscaling, no issues with openbox unit so far

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

This highly-reviewed, 4K UHD Blu-ray player provides the kind of extensive luminance and chrominance settings usually reserved for high-end plasma, LED and OLED television sets. One unique feature during initial setup is a setting that analyzes the connected display to determine resolution and HDR capabilities. It assessed my Epson Home Cinema 5040UB 4Ke projector as a FHD device with a maximum resolution of 1080p. Because of that determination, the HDR settings on the UB820 maxed out at Rec. 709, which only provides 8 bit color. After hours of research online and experimentation with the unit itself, I was unable to achieve Rec. 2020, which provides 10 to 12 bit color. It wasn't a problem with my native 4K HDR flat screen, but as most $1000 -$2500 4K projectors are actually 1080p FHD devices that are "4K Enhanced" (aka "Faux-K"), utilizing pixel-shift technology to fabricate 3840p resolution, it may explain why the Panasonic UB820 detected my projector as 1080p FHD, not 3840p. Otherwise, the UB820 is a fantastic machine, despite the high price point.

Came when promised. Easy to set up, great picture! Happy with our purchase

I wanted to upgrade my existing 1080P player and read several reviews from tech sites on this player. It was continuously rated as one the best. I purchased an open box item and it arrived looking brand new. I like the low-profile look of the player. I haven't had any issues and expect it will continue to satisfy my needs.

Best player on the market today - yes video performance it's as good as the more expensive UBS 9000 for less than half the cost. What you don't get is "high end audio connections" but I use this exclusively for video via HDMI and letting my AVR handle the audio playback. Both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support !

This is by far something I could not do without. I really appreciate the power of being able to watch a movie or TV show instead of streaming. The video quality of movies is phenomenal. This unit is what everyone should have who has DVDs, Blu Rays, 4K Blue Rays to watch.

This is a recent purchase, so I hope all the good things I say last for awhile. It does everything it's supposed to do. Everything works as advertised. Dvd's and Blu-Ray look great. Sound reproduction is great too. I spent the extra money on this player because it had downmix stereo outputs I could use for speakers in my dining room. That works too. Couldn't be happier.

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

Fast quite and a beautiful picture on my projector thanks to this player.

Best Blu-Ray player that is still on the market by far. Rock solid construction and absolutely stunning visual reproduction.

I was experiencing very annoying upscaling lag from my X Box 1S to my new 77" LG OLED CX TV. I had read this player was very good, so I gave it a shot. The results have been amazing. Lag is gone and picture is beautiful. It would be nice to add additional apps, but that is not allowed. Just use for a player only. Get your streaming somewhere else.

I have been using this Bluray for a couple years and it has been a great experience so far, dolby vision support works great. My only complain is the drive can be noise sometimes, I returned my first unit because of this but the second Unit presented the same issue after a few months ( in a lesser degree) but it seems to fix itself when I place something over the player.

Best bluray player in terms of quality I've owned. Better than xbox one x and Sony x700 ( less it costs less). Was nervous at first since it was $500, but after using it and seeing the incredible picture quality, I dint regret the purchase. The web app are limited and some like Amazon are sluggish, but i have my built in app on my tv for that.

Outstanding sound and picture quality. Unit has both HDMI and analog audio outputs for an older sound system, Plays DVD and Blu-Ray via HDMI, and music CDs via analog output, however, you have to switch back and forth in Settings to choose either source each time. Likely not an issue if you have a modern receiver with HDMI inputs.

well worth the $499, stellar PQ , its just breathtaking, even your blu rays will see an enhancement

This player has many features and options that are perfect for those who own the latest UHD TVs, with the ability to decode HLG, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ formatted discs and video streams. It is also a great player for those who own projectors, as it can be configured to provide the very best possible image quality in your home theater.

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

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