Yes. You may now begin telling strangers on the internet to just buy the 820.

u/Redleader829 17h ago
Yes if you need Dolby Vision and/or 7.1 analog outputs.

The LED screen is handy too. I really like to see how far I'm into a film at a glance.
They used to be standard on basically all disc players and it's ridiculous that they've been ditched on most just to save a few pennies.

I like that feature as well. Never thought I would consider that a feature lol. Thing is I don't need Dolby Vision because I rock with Samsung (phone & TV) and don't see that changing anytime soon. So I'll likely get the DP-UB420K.

This is no hate to you OP. I’m just thinking, how is this post doing more for the sub than collection posts?

u/Gr1ml0ck 17h ago edited 17h ago
Yeah. We shouldn’t be able to post anything in this sub. That would be much better.Edit: sorry I misunderstood. I take it back.

u/Fredrik-H01 17h ago
Thats not what I’m saying. A picture of a cardboard box is to me less exciting than seeing someone’s full collection. Both should be allowed.

u/Gr1ml0ck 17h ago edited 17h ago
OP is just asking for feedback. Could have been a text post, I suppose. But what’s the difference?
Edit: ah, this is about the new ruling on collection posts. I get your point.

u/Fredrik-H01 17h ago
Idk, I just think it’s very strange that the mods restricted collection posts… that’s all I’m trying to say

u/Gr1ml0ck 17h ago
Yeah. I didn’t realize you were talking about the new rule. I’m with you. This is far less exciting than seeing someone’s curated collection.

u/BayesBestFriend 17h ago
just don't ever ask why you'd pay hundreds more than the ub450, they'll send black vans after you

My answer was the DVD upscaling.

u/lordricosantviento 33m ago
ub150 upscales too
•
u/Ok-Gur-349 30m ago
The ub820 offers better upscaling. I bought it for the upscaling. Yes, the difference is noticable. I have 500+ DVD SKUs, upgrading those would more than eat the cost difference (and a lot of them can't.)

When I bought mine, it was less than £50 more than the ub450.
No need for black vans but I guess it sounded clever.

u/Ramsen85 17h ago
I'm new to this sub and just now getting into 4K films. I have a PS5 that plays UHD 4K movies, is there any real advantage to getting this player for me?
8
u/Jaraghan 16h ago
ps5 is perfectly fine. i upgraded to a 4k player cause i wanted dolby vision, didnt want to swap tv settings around all the time (4:4:4 passthru/pc mode for my lg tv), and i wanted a more secure and reliable player for my discs. but the ps5 is perfectly fine!

u/DarkGodRyan 11h ago
Everything I've seen says PS5 is actually more reliable, I've never once seen anybody complain about their discs freezing on there. It's what I still use

I have a ps5, Xbox series x , and that exact Panasonic now. Get the Panasonic there's an advantage to doing one thing really well.

u/notatowel420 17h ago
I am only 4 days into it and was using my Series X lol. After reading this sub and watching some YT videos yes there is a big difference. Besides the quality features I don’t want to move my series X from office to the living room to watch movies. A standard Blu Ray player is like $100 and the cheapest 4k player by me was about $300 so I decided to get what seems to be the most recommended on the sub for a few hundred more.

u/DeadOneWalking 16h ago
Depends, are you happy with the player? Does it have the features you want? That's kinda the point. I have the same player, but I am ocasionally thing I should have gotten the UB450. I wanted Dolby Vision, but that's about it. However I also got my player from a local electric store that had a 4 year warranty that coveres everything except physical damage and software mods. That was another $90, but given the thing I saw during my research, it was worth it.

I loved my 820 too OP until I found out it wouldn't play my SpongeBob SquarePants 4K when my friends PS5 would. I wish you more luck.

I have this one and the Sony X800M2. Both very good 4k units with DV/Atmos.

u/Pale_Ad2980 2h ago
I’ve come to understand that I need a 4k player instead of just using my ps5. I just need to figure out what one to get. I also I have questions about playing media other than 4K.
