Panasonic DP-UB420 Streaming 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio Wi-Fi Blu-Ray Player EXPIRED

In for one. I have the UB820 now, and it's hands down the best UHD player I've ever owned. The HDR optimizer and manual adjustment tool really sets this apart from the rest of the brands.
I have no use for Dolby vision. HDR10 is all my projector supports. I just wish there was more support for the streaming apps. There is no Disney + support at this time.

this model was only available in Australia and Europe for almost 2 years. But went under DP-UB420GNK . Nice to see it finally made it to the states, and at a very attractive price point.

For those not familiar with why this would work better than your Xbox One, or Samsung, and Sony players. It's all about the HDR content. With all the other players in the market, you are forced to watch HDR content at whatever the player is defaulted to. There is no adjustment for brighter HDR picture. Most TVs are not capable of 1000nits. Most projectors are not capable of 500nits. Therefor HDR content looks dark. So any movie with dark scenes look horrible.
With this player, you can set HDR content 12 levels darker, or 12 level brighter than the default output. So on a decent 4K TV or projector, your HDR content will match or come close to the brightness of SDR content.

Quick example. Watching Bladerunner 2049, at the beginning when the 2 characters have a fight in the house. It's a very dark scene that uses lighting only from the windows within the room they are in. With a Sony UBP-X800, this scene was nearly completely washed out by how dark it was. The lighting sources from the windows within the room were muddled as if they had tints over them. With the UB820, you could see the details within the dark scenery. Characters arnt blending with the background, etc..

To get the best picture and sound quality available. Some people are still interested in that!
