The fact all these players have been around for years shows how very little choice there is now for 4K players. The big electronics manufacturers have either stopped making them completely or stopped introducing new models.
I’ve owned a Panasonic DP-UB820 combined with an LG OLED and a Ymaha and Soavo 7.1 HT for a couple of years now, amazing sound and picture quality is superb!
@KaleI311superman9 I feel you, often if I can't view a movie on a streamer I'll buy bootleg copy and if I like it I'll buy whatever physical medium choice available be it a DVD, Blu-ray, and/or 4k Blu-ray. There were some cases I had no choice but to get regular DVDs but I found them still enjoyable. 👍
4k blu ray is like laserdisc all over again, pretty niche in the market as was laserdisc with vhs. Quality beats streaming same as LD looked way better than beta max/vhs. I would like for it to stick around for as long as LD did. If authored correctly, 4kuhd is reference material as 35mm film is like 4k-6k res. IMAX 70mm is the holy grail though at like 18k res equiv. Nolan’s movies look amazing on 4kuhd because of all the imax footage. It does seem kinda retro to be into disc players in ‘23, I dig it though.
The best one is mid-range? Nothing else can compete at such an affordable price? It's still $400 or something while all of the others other than the #2 can be gotten for $250 or less. Granted, this one seems to be the best one for playing the triple layer discs and has the HDR optimizer... which is mainly useful for the TV's that can't reach high luminance levels. It's kinda sad that the best 4K blu-ray players are already 3-4+ years old. Heck, anything that was released in the past year or so that can compete is extremely expensive. Just like the big daddy version of the #1 here, they are only useful for an extremely niche market that can use those features... and 4K blu-ray is already a very niche market to begin with.
The AVS Forum guys were clear... since the long time reference player Oppo something or other, which costed at least $1500 and up for the high end home theater guys isn't around any more that #2 Panasonic was the new reference level player. The #1 UB-820 has the same picture and audio quality but without the all metal case and lots of features most people would never use, and it was $500 instead of $1,100. The prices have dropped a bit. That's why I bought the 820. Only home theater people are buying discs now as more people stream. The market is realigning. I have home theater and live in rural area with crap DSL, so I want disc when my crappy Internet goes out.
Good to se the Panasoic DP-UB820 in top slot. Yes i would like a 9000 but they are way overpriced and the difference in picture quality is not that much.
I've got the Sony 700 - plays. SACD so that's that. even thou I'd guess my ability to notice any difference in the sound is - zero SACD v. standard. Only thing I'd change - It should have ' basic' play controls to back up remote, I've never found remotes reliable.
@@janjarvlepp382 I wonder how many folks have ' perfect' ears.... I can't hear over 8000 hz near the spks. ( KEF meta 50's ). actually I can hear slightly higher test sounds with near 50 year old dynaco 25 tweeters.
My Panasonic UB9000 has been extremely glitchy out of the box and has already been sent in for service after only 8 months. It is still glitchy after "repair"
Panasonic has good colors, but the picture isn't sharp as ps5.... I don't know why... but, all dedicated 4k blu ray players have good colors, but not as sharp of a picture as ps5... so weird
@@mustafahussain3972 I don't have to Sony one, but did a lot of research and generally the difference between 4K movies that have Dolby Vision there's pretty much no difference. The main advantages of the UB820 lie elsewhere: > More stable for playing triple layer 4K blu-rays. The non-Panasonic players often tend to have issues with them (but not always and not for everyone) and there are still people who do have issues with them even with the Panasonic players. > Best at upscaling DVD's and regular Blu-rays > Has an HDR optimizer for movies that don't have Dolby Vision. Granted, it's sorta redundant if you do have a TV that's capable of very high brightness like 1500+ nits. Personally, I went with the Panasonic one. It was €200 more expensive, but I didn't want to end up with a 4K blu-ray player that wasn't able to play some of the movies I bought.
@@jenvogue5005 Don't matter what ,no one buys f*n bluray players these days... Decades past since then his tripping, Even some stores like a Best buy Gonna quit selling physical media by next year
Yes blu-ray came out in 2006 and 4k blu-ray came out in ,I think, 2016. Physical media is the best. You own your discs. Also streaming and physical media can live side by side. We should have the choice.@jenvogue5005

Especially the Sony UBP-X800M2! Wasn't that out in 2017?
@@rgruenhaus I think so, yes.
Or were we just being conned in the past with the illusion of choice? Did I really need that 100 disc player....

Same here! Agreed!
sounds nice!
I still watch DVD and Blu Ray movies
DVD obsolete

@@ecstasy5317 i recently cancelled my netflix subscription
I do it for the extras, you may think they are easy to find online but most jus care for the movie itself
@@kalel311superman9 Yeah some will cancel Netflix or cable and so on. I never had Netflix but I might try it out in the future one day.
Why are they not making new 4k players models
MAGNETAR UB900 4K UHD UNIVERSAL BLU-RAY 😎
No Reavon or Magnetar?

I have both the UB9000 build quality is sublime, well worth the price.
請問這些播放機 不知有沒有”App Remote”呢？有時用手機平板來遙控還蠻方便的🤔😉😘🤷♂️😤
i am going for Panasonic !
may you pliz to compare the last #2 and #1 ?
Is your name Johnathan Popps from pocket fm radio? Your voice sounds like him. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you can't hear a difference between CD and SACD, you must have a very mediocre stereo system.

Great list! Stick with the Panasonics!
GUY YOU GOOFED UP BIG TIME THE PANASONIC DPU9000 IS THE ULTIMATE 4K UHD BLU RAY PLAYER
My Panasonic UB9000 has been extremely glitchy out of the box and has already been sent in for service after only 8 months. It is still glitchy after "repair"
yikes!
I keep hearing bad reviews about the 4K players. That’s why I never switched over from Blu-ray.
Old models and still very expensive, compared with a regular Blu Ray player.
I like the pioneer 1 own jt for a few years
Great commercial for Panasonic products
5:18 *B region* player
1:19 *A region* player
8:37 *B region* player
10:00 *B region* player
Panasonic has good colors, but the picture isn't sharp as ps5.... I don't know why... but, all dedicated 4k blu ray players have good colors, but not as sharp of a picture as ps5... so weird
Hello, one of these players plays AVI format, I've been looking for a long time. Many thanks from 🇦🇹😅
Physical media is making a comeback. Own your media!

@@jenvogue5005Check your video settings, and make sure you updated the software.
What about oppo?
Over $200, too damn high!!!🤬🤬🤬
is there any brazilian link oh wait i thought you was best product
Spelling it Blue-ray is triggering for me
Im searching bluray not 4k players
4K can play anything (bluray and dvd)
Don't ask me to subscribe after the 5 second mark, pretty lame.
Eeeh… Reavon??
