Epson 6050UB Replacements - Third Times the Charm?
มุมมอง 2.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
After the pure excitement of upgrading my 5040UB with the Epson 6050UB, imagine my disappointment when I had to replace the unit - multiple times. Epson's customer service is excellent and reminded me of AppleCare's back in the early 2000s.

Updated surround speakers: B&W CWM652's to Sonance VP62 LCR's
มุมมอง 7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Updated Speakers: Sonance takes my surrounds to new highs. Bass performance increased significantly. The sensitivity of the new speakers is 90 compared to 86 and seem to be a better match in my system overall. A recommendation is to give them a look if you're in the market.

    Advice for those who want to find a player to use for their home theater: You should not choose Japanese brands like Panasonic or Sony or something like that, but you should choose reputable South Korean brands with better sound quality like Samsung or LG. Thanks.

    I have the 420 in my 7.3.4 HT, and it (HT) is costly. I am running an 85" Samsung mini-led, Klipsch RP 8000, RP504C, and RP5000 speakers powered by Marantz AV7705, MM8077, and MM7055. This player looks and sounds fantastic! I was going to get the 9000 but decided it was not worth it since I will only use the HDMI anyway. Like you said, they have the same video processor, so I would spend 5 times as much on looks. I have a ton of 4K BR rips I play off my NAS, and if I take that same movie on Disc and use the 420, it blows them away in video, especially audio. The 420 is just a fantastic deal!

Thinking to buy the 820 with Dolby Vision, since my project supports Dolby Vision. Had the UB9000 a few years ago. Great player and build like a tank, but since I am not a big collector of movies I can settle with the 820.

    Dolby vision aside, is there any marginal upgrade to the picture quality on the UB, 9000 versus the 420 I know. In terms of sound, it’s far superior, and wondering whether better components in the UB 9000 yield a slight improvement in visual performance?

    Hey man! Thank you so much for such a great review video! I have a quick question for you. I have had a Sony ubp-x700m for about a year and a half. It is quit working. Will only read DVDs. Will not read regular Blu-ray discs or 4K discs anymore. It is on the latest firmware. I am ready to replace it. I have looked at the Sony X800M2 or the Panasonic ubp-420. After a few years of owning it, would you still recommend the Panasonic? It just seems like such a great player.
