I had this player and discs would freeze often. I learned it wasn't just my player, Panasonic's are known to freeze up and have issues on a few Dolby visions discs. I bought a used Sony x700 for 1/5 the price of this and never looked back.

Can someone explain how this can improve on, say, playing back a backed-up UHD Blu-ray file on an Nvidia Shield TV? Isn't digital media playback the same across all devices as long as you're not doing some sort of post-processing that alters the original content?

A roundabout way would be to rip it to a computer, put it in an MKV container, and play it back on the Shield.
Seems like a really roundabout way when you can just buy the player and avoid the extra effort and time.

My understanding it only would come into play if you were playing a burned movie from a server or hard drive.
It's more popular with digital streaming but I wouldn't expect it to produce the same PQ as a disc from a player like this.
Not to mention the significant drop on the AQ side with streaming.

Yeah pretty much. My comment was tongue-in-cheek because if you're someone who's buying the 4K Blu-ray player, you're after the best video and audio quality and you can't get this from streaming.

Man! I didn't realize how expensive these players are.... $100 more dollars and you could just buy a PS5 or Xbox Series S and also play games on it.

The consoles won't give you Dolby Vision on 4K Blu-ray discs.
