Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a less expensive Sony player that would freeze up on some discs. No issues at all with this player. Playback of 4k discs is perfect and they look and sound great. Playback of normal blu ray discs also look great. While the build quality is good, it is plastic case. But it is a great unit for the price.

So far im very impressed with the quality of the player. Processing performance from this 4K player is astounding, features such as dolby vision are the cherry on top. Cannot recommend the Panasonic UB-820 enough.

I have been buying UHD discs for a while now, but I'm waiting until the price of OLED displays come down before investing in a 4K television. Often UHD releases bundle a standard Blu-Ray with the 4K disc, but it's simply a repackaged older release with a substandard transfer. Especially for 4K releases of old catalog titles, the UHD version can be a substantial improvement with new scans of the film elements and proper restoration work completed. At $500, the UB820 is a substantial investment for a disc player, but it solves my problem nicely: Once I turned off HDR10 and Dolby Vision, it's done a brilliant job of downconverting the 4K picture and high dynamic range colorspace to 1080p with the standard colorspace. Unlike the downconversion done by cheaper players, the picture isn't too bright with HDR turned off, the whites aren't blown out and the blacks aren't crushed. I am very pleased with this player, and look forward to unleashing its full abilities when I do upgrade to a 4K TV down the road.

very fast shipping and excellent service. DVD player is easy to use, hookup, and use remote control. clarity of picture is incredible when using 4k DVDs. highly recommended. much better than equivalent price point Sony unit other than not being able to play DVD music is all.

For me this was a necessary upgrade because my Sony 4K player was well used. After buying my Samsung Oled TV I wanted to take advantage of the video processing capabilities and upscale DVD’s, Blue ray’s too 4K. It made older movies from my collection more captivating, like seeing them again for the first time. Movies draw you in and details are amazing. I recommend this player.

Only used the player a few times, nice upgrade from the last one I bought 15 years ago!!

It is quicker than my previous Sony 4K player. The picture is even better. The manual in the box is not much, but the full manual is available on line. This unit has a lot of customizable settings for picture and sound. Also, lots of outlets, including RCA 7 channel plus separate HDMI for audio and audio and video combine. Reviews indicate that the player has the same chip set as panasonics top of the line $1100 player, for less than 1/2 the price - difference is the chassis materials (the expensive one is metal). I don't use this device to stream, so I have no comments on that. I recommend this unit without qualification. I still have to read all of the manual and shut off the voice prompt system, which I find annoying. Great unit!

The UB820 performs as advertised. Absolutely one of the best disc players on the market, great purchase.

Remarkable 4K Ultra HD player from Panasonic. Highly recommendable. Very Good performance and reliability. Never had a single problem or issue with it.

I’ve never had a problem with this player in the year since I’ve owned it. I would easily recommend this over the more expensive $1000 model. Works just as well and a better value.

This player is literally amazing. The only rival is Oppo which is not producing players anymore

Plays all HDR formats,including Dolby Vision,HDR + etc. Awesome picture quality and upscaling of regular blurays thanks to it's much hyped Hollywood HCX Chip. The apps are soso but Panasonic is improving them(Netflix supports Dolby Vision)

Excellent product. All DVDs play with extreme clarity and brightness. Worth the purchase.

Very nice picture on TV. I have not see 4K disks images presented better by any other DVD player.

Best 4k blueray player on the market, replaced my obsolete OPPO 203, thankyou Panasonic.

Has many features and works well, would recommend!

I bought this 4K Blu-Ray player 2 months ago to go with my new Sony 4K TV and I'm very happy with it. The picture quality is excellent whether I'm playing 4K movies or older standard DVD's. It was well worth spending the extra money for this high quality product.

Well worth the price. Setup is easy with my Sonos system. Arch plays dolby atmos and dolby vision by lg c2. I have a great setup!

I decided to upgrade to 4k.the difference from Blu Ray is noticable and worth the cost to change.i will be replacing many Blu Ray movies with 4k

Plays 4K vision/atmos movies. It’s all I’ve ever dreamed.
