Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.nice 4k player when there's not many players in the game. but, it's overpriced.it has a HDR optimizer that you can play with adjusting the picture. it's not worth $500 bucks. I returnedf it.

Won’t play CD’s
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this player almost two months. Unfortunately I didn’t realize until now that it won’t play any CD’s (brand new or old) without cutting out every 30 seconds. Is there a software update that will fix this problem?

Good player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is good for playing 4k movies. The streaming part is pointless with all the smart TVs available. You can hear the fan but the movie will drown it out.

Crap
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this piece of crap will not play blueray or super audio discs. Which why I purchased it. DO NOT BUY
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Panasonic Team
Posted .The manual and specifications state that the DP-UB820 does not support SACD. It can play Blu-ray discs, as it is a Blu-ray player, but the format and region of the discs must be compatible with the player. -M

This is my story
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned the Oppo 103, 105, and 203. I've owned Samsungs first 4k player, Sonys UBP-X800 and 700 so I have plenty of experience reviewing this product. This product is often compared to the Oppo 203 since this is a premium product. First, the Oppo has it beat in two areas(build quality and audio features). I am not a audiophile but I am definitely a videophile. This is where the Panasonic 820 best the Oppo. The in player tone mapping feature is marvelous. What this does is it allows you to make adjustments in color, brightness, luminance, and sharpness that allows you to match your tvs picture adjustments. Often times HDR is displayed to dark on your tv. This solves that problem. It has a HDR optimizer. It comes with a firmware upgrade that will enable Dolby Vision and it supports HDR10 for future proofing. Black Panther, MI: Rouge Nation, Avengers, Infinity War is pure eye candy. It has 3 apps, Netflix, Amazon prime and You tube. I have a apple streaming box so this doesn't matter to me. So for all you videophiles(I say that because a casual person most likely won't spend 500 on a player) take the leap and you will definitely land with both feet on the ground.
