- Yo, hey, hi! Let's talk about which 4K UHD Blu-ray player is best for first-time buyers. Just because we don't have a home theater doesn't mean we don't deserve the best AV presentation possible. I really want to emphasize the quality of upscaling these players can achieve with DVDs as their sources.
I'm excited to discuss this further in the comments. This is a large subject, so let's start a conversation!

What 4K Player would you choose?
none...i rip the discs and watch them in my mac!!!
@@yannisgk Ha! Very nice
@@WRNFILM thanks!!!
Panasonic UB820 is the only player you need.
I do agree it is the all around best choice for enthusiasts.
I had a Panasonic ub820 rarely played it and after 3 1/2 years it stopped reading my discs. Cleaned my disks took care of the player I was so disappointed.
I have a few words of wisdom for new AV physical media files.
1) use your PS5 horizontally. The PS5 can damage your discs using it vertically all the time. I'm not sure about the Xbox Series X.
2) if you bought a TV that doesn't do Dolby Vision, skip the Sony X700 and buy the Panasonic UB820. The X700 can do DV, HDR10, and HLG but it can't do HDR10+. The UB820 does all of them.
3) Don't buy your HDMI cables from Best Buy. They overcharge, by a lot.
And that's it. Actually one more, don't buy any of your electronics from Best Buy. And that's all.
Solid advice!
@@WRNFILM "advices" i'd say!!! ;)
Open box special or heavy clearance can be the only way to go. Remember S-video cables? They were typically $5 anywhere at the time of their (limited) use and Best Buy was selling them for around $20+tax. They still sell them despite being outmoded tech for $9 now. It'd be like buying a mini USB cable today. To charge.... what?
Loved your video.
Thanks!!
I bought my UB820 for £200 off ebay over a year ago and it works just fine, cleaned and updated firmware and good as new, no need to buy inferior option just go used
I’m a big fan of open box purchases. I saved $100 getting my own UB820. But you’re braver than me buying tech off eBay. I’ve had some bad experiences
My dude are you really using a 58? hell yeah! Sounds fine boss. What kind of editing you doing with the audio?
58 is amazing! Not too much. Goes through an EQ, compressor. A very light amount of BB Tubes plug in.
Agree. I have both these players and they both very good. The Panasonic has the edge with more settings and it detects Dolby Vision without you having to go into settings yourself. For disc playing, these machines are great.
It is a very nice time saver not having to turn on Dolby Vision
@@WRNFILM Yes, but I did have a problem getting it to do that, until I switched to the correct HDMI high-speed cable. I don't know what made the difference (I have three cables like that, different brands). Even now, the player sometimes does not want to show Dolby Vision sometimes--I have to open the tray, close it and play again. I only have a few Dolby Vision discs anyway, so it's not really big deal and the player will show them in HDR10 in any case, which I think is very similar . I bought the Panasonic for better build quality and hoping it will last longer than the Sony.
@@WRNFILM I should add that a drawback of the Panasonic is accessing the settings for subtitles. THe Sony has a dedicated subtltle button on the remote. With Panasonic, you have to go to the disc main menu, or into the player settings to get to subtitles. It's not a huge problem, but I do watch a lot of films with subtitles for various reasons.
Dolby vision turn on/off option is a great deal for projector users, most of the projectors dont support it , and in some projectors it adds a faint white tint, which spoils the whole color, so kudos to sony 🎉
I got the UB420 because I have a Samsung TV. No dolby. The HDR optimization tool is amazing. 4k is amazing and the blu-tray/DVD upscaling is actually better than my tv. Wasn't expecting that.
It really is a great player. I had extreme reservations that the performance would justify the cost. I was so wrong!
@WRNFILM What I wonder is we'll ever see a next generation of 4k players. All of these current players were designed and manufactured between 2017-2019.
@johnpajestka5022 and they are showing their age! The UI compared to current gen streaming devices are rough. I personally also love the option to change settings with an app.
I've got a Panasonic DMB-BDT280, there's only one output. That's gotta go to the projector but I'm going to have to blu-tooth the sound to the soundsystem. Any advice on a blu-tooth box for the Dolby DTS please? Afraid I'm a hippy & have a mix of second hand & new. Great video. 😊
Unfortunately I don’t. I haven’t used a Bluetooth box so I can’t vouch for any. But I would look for one with version 5.0 or above for low latency performance.
@@WRNFILM Thanks for your advice. Its annoying that I have more outputs on the DVD player, so I wired that in so I can get the surround sound from my DVD's. I shall suffer with my 9 speakers & 2 subs. 😁 I'm half done. The projector & screen have yet to go up.
The thing iv noticed about ps5 is its played every 4k disc iv put in it
Have you had issues with the other players?
@WRNFILM pretty much every other palyer iv had..very rare it happens dou
@@hardnine ugh yeah, I hear you. I’ve not had any issues, but It seems like I’m part of the lucky few.
I was aiming to get a UB820, but I stumbled upon a UB450 for 30 dollar in a thrift shop. So I can't complain about it.
Too good of a deal to pass up. Solid pick
Anyone looking at 4k players, the only thing I can suggest is to stay away from the Sony UBP X800. It has serious issues playing dual layer 4k discs. It freezes constantly, and you have unplug it to reset it every time. Sony fix was to come out with the X800M2 a year later and just forget about the X800.
Any and all recommendations are welcome so thank you. I've poked online for years now waiting for a bang-for-buck 4K player but so far not much has popped out. What I grew weary of immediately was the surplus of 4K upscaling which is just a Blu Ray player with software made to stretch 1080p movies onto the screen, masquerading as a 4K. Those should be all sent to the scrap pile for false (title) advertising.
Some viewers might not care too much but I will notice. It's the artificial motion and smearing of pixels which take me out of the experience. I would not want to be that old couple with mismatched hardware trying to play their grandkids' (SD) DVDs on a 4K TV, smeared pixels, at 60fps fluid motion or whatever it's called for the brand. It makes old people suffer motion sickness and they have no clue how to navigate the menu to turn it off.
Upscaling is a big issue which is why I'm happy you can set if the X700 or UB820 will upscale DVDs / Blu Rays or send them out native. My issue is that the TV (if it is 4k) will upscale your media no matter what...and it's pretty rough. That's one of the reasons I'm so Impressed with the UB820. You won't confuse it for a 4k source at all, but it does an admirable job minimizing the upscaling artifacts.
Why would i get a ps5 when i have a pc or two
Ya wouldn’t. Assuming you have a good 4K drive. Do you rip to a Plex server?
@@WRNFILM I rip blu rays but I would still get that panosonic while my pcs are rendering. Just have a regular blu ray player right now.
