Premium 4K Blu Ray Player, UHD DVD Blu Ray Player with Hi-Res Sound, 4K VOD Streaming, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision™, DP-UB450 (Black)

Delivery thru Amazon prime was early and packed brand new. Easy to setup, I used a hdmi 2.1 cable (not included), that I also ordered thru Amazon at the same time. After connecting the hdmi cable from the Panasonic 4k player, to my 4k tv hdmi1 slot on the back of my tv, it was mostly turned on the power and inserted a Harry Potter 4k ultra hd 'And The Sorcerer's Stone' disk. I went to settings and then to 'inputs', then to hdmi 1, on my tv. But I noticed on some of the disks, that as soon as I inserted the disk it went straight to play, bye passing going thru inputs. And that was it. Fantastic picture and the sound is great. But I am having a little problem getting used to when something dramatic happens the volume increases drastically. Reminds me of going to the movies. LOL 😆 I have played not only 4k ultra hd disks and digital but also bluray and dvd's. And played beautifully every time. No skipping no worries. And the quality of the picture is outstanding. I'm pretty sure it is the 4k tv and the 4k Panasonic player that works together. I wasn't sure if I should have gone with the Sony. But I am so happy with the Panasonic.

I got this Panasonic (branded) 4K Blu Ray as my Samsung was just too troublesome. The price was fair, and the performance with 4K discs is everything you might imagine. It's unexpected super power is in its upscaling of standard DVD's and Blu Rays. I tested playing a standard DVD in a standard (Pioneer)DVD player, my (Pioneer) Blu Ray, and this Panasonic 4K Blu-Ray. The difference was incredible. Even standard DVD's look great! ... No pixelization at all - even on a 100" screen! Its performance is unequalled to date. This merits of looking at this player even for just its incredible upscaling performance are valid, seriously ... It's that good! I recommend it 100%

The picture quality is great and it works well. Personally, I mostly wanted to upgrade from my Sony because another reviewer had said that the "media player" (off USB drive) was excellent and I've got my entire, enormous DVD collection of many thousands digitized onto a hard drive, so so many products that claim to support this, do it at the bare minimum... sometimes unusably (My Samsung TV will spend 10 minutes trying to read the files in one directory!) The Sony also had issues with navigating large folders... very painful. THIS player is MUCH better at reading the file system... the directories pop up immediately. The UI is high-res and clear, but I could have used a slicker looking interface than just dull directories of file names... but at least it works quickly. The BAD... It doesn't take lot of effort to hang this box to the point of needing to reboot. The first HD VIDEO FILE that I played froze the system up as soon as I went into double-fast-forward mode. (It would be a nightmare to return to a point deep inside a file if you ever accidentally exited it!) Another HD movie hung up the system during playback a short while later as well. But we have successfully watched several other movie files. I've NOT see it misbehave while playing discs. We've also seen some issues with closed caption (again, on video files, not on discs) where the captions would display each line for minutes at a time... so by the end of the show, it would still be showing lines from the beginning. Not sure if this is a widespread issue or specific to the files (from BBC discs of "Death in Paradise".) I've not seen any caption issues with discs so far. UPDATE: I wrote that it doesn't support CEC (one device controlling another over the HDMI cable) but that's not true. My SONY would turn off/on my whole system (TV, AV Receiver) whenever I powered off/on the DVD player... but this one behaves a little differently and it took me a couple more times to realize it. If I use the player's remote to turn the DVD off, it does not power down the whole system... but I CAN use the TV remote to control the DVD player (so it must be communicating) and if I turn the TV off... it WILL turn off the DVD player along with everything else... in a way, it's actually the preferred behavior, so you can turn off the DVD player and switch to something else without accidentally powering everything off. It also seems that for a "premium" player, it could use higher quality materials... it's not bad, it's just no better than any other player at half the price. So... video quality-wise, no complaints. All the basic stuff is well presented and easy to use (although it took me a while to figure out that it had SEPARATE settings for old-school 608 vs HD 708 closed captions, so I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't display after I turned them on... gotta set both!) The media player feature, while better than most, still feels like an afterthought and could has room for improvement. 4.0 - 4.5 stars

What a superb improvement on playing 4K discs on my LG C5 TV. Huge improvement. Automatically plays in the best video mode available on the disc. Highly recommend.

Excelente calidad en 4K con un precio muy accesible, reproduce según su televisión el HDR, HDR+, HLG y el Dolby Vision. La reproduccion des bluray y hasta de los DVD es mas que excelente. Tiene la posibilidad de mandar la imagen en su TV y al sonido a parte con cualquier amplificador audio gracias a sus dos salidas HDMI.

Apesar de não top de linha, o player é sem dúvida a melhor opção custo/benefício do mercado. É compatível com HDR, Dolby Vision e HDR10+. Na parte de som toca todos os formatos existentes incluindo os recentes Dolby Atmos e DTS X. Além de reproduzir blurays UHD com excelente qualidade, faz um upscaling muito bom de blurays e DVDs. É um aparelho bem básico, sem a opção de streming de Netflix e outros, mas cumpre exatamente o que se espera de um aparelho 4K. Excelente qualidade de vídeo e audio.

Excelente para un Blu ray player con caracteristícas de premium pero a un costo menor. Lo único que podría no gustar es que no es wi fi, no tiene apps pero se puede actualizar con cable de red, y las apps las tengo en mi roku.

comprei esse aparelho 4k, pq tenho um Sony 4k e tive problemas com congelamentos e leitura com esse aparelho em diversas mídias uma dela no 4k da banda Queen ( que se quer carregava o menu ) na qual eu tive que solicitar a troca, achando que o problema era o disco com defeitos mas essas mesmas mídias em que meu aparelho Sony não reconheceu ou congelava a imagem, rodam tranquilamente no meu Panasonic, ele tem todos os recursos que eu preciso e só não tem aplicativos nele instalados e se precisar fazer uma atualização de firmware tem que se ligar direto um cabo de rede, isso pra mim não e nenhum problema , quanto qualidade de imagem e som dele achei superior ao da Sony e eu ja tinha visto isso em alguns fóruns sobre o aparelho, se vc procura um bom reprodutor para ver seus filmes em 4k e com upscaling muito bom, recomendo a compra deste aparelho !

No funcionó y no he recibido la devolución. El producto es Panasonic en el sentido que tiene el nombre escrito pero la calidad es ínfima. Tengo un Bluray Panasonic que lleva funcionando 15 años. Este producto "nuevo" no pudo leer ni discos de audio. Sigo sin recibir mi reembolso aunque Amazon ya recibió el equipo desde hace 3 meses y no hay nada que pueda hacer para que no se sal
