If your TV (or projector) does not support Dolby Vision, get the 420.
I'd your TV does support Dolby Vision, get the 820.
Note, Dolby Vision content will bypass the Tone Mapping & Optimizer.
Streaming interface isn't great with these. Get a Roku or Apple TV for that.
I use the 420 with my projector. It is fantastic.

Streaming sucks with these. Get a Roku or Apple TV for that. (HDR Tone Mapping & Optimizer only work on discs).

Panasonic labels theirs "optimizer".
DV doesn't really bypass it, it's a sub set to the core HDR. It basically processes it frame by frame but yes the optimizer is not utilized with it.
That's one of the problems on why there are no commercial PJ's that can take advantage of DV.
Panasonic is a must have for all PJ owners.

The UB420, UB820 (and 9000) have the "HDR Display Type" setting which tone maps to different NITS levels to try and match the HDR range to the ability of your display. This is separate from the HDR Optimizer.
No other player has this functionality. Panasonic only. (Oppo did, but they don't make players anymore).
Getting too technical will confuse regular consumers. The Panasonic's are the best players to get. Simple as that.

Holy crap. What a waste of an OLED if you're not using Dolby Vision when you have a TV capable of it. I think you should give your TV to someone who will use it right.

Since there is no set standard everyone has there own process, that's what separates players. Same holds true with upscaling to 4K.
True be told to take full advantage of HDR your display has to get up to 8,000 nits, DV would be 10,000 nits.
There is no display that can come close to that.
Basically tone mapping has to downscale to your displays capabilities.
Panasonic's claims that their "optimizer" dials in the process to your displays best capabilities.
I do agree their process with HDR and upscaling is best.
People still don't know that digital streaming can't compare to the picture and audio quality of a disc, due to the compression of digital streaming, regardless of internet speed?

Not to mention the transfer of the movie plays a big role on how big the advantage is over HDR.
If anyone wants to see the difference, many players let's you turn on/off DV.
Grab at least 5 movie disc that have DV and compare.
You have to use several because they do not get the same transfer and can vary significantly.
You do this with the 820 you get to see how good their optimizer is with HDR!
Not to mention you get the same upscaling you get on the 820 with the 420.

Here you will find different settings that are actually friendly names for different maximum NITS levels that YOU can select YOURSELF.
This is SEPARATE from the HDR Optimizer and is not something any other player has.
Further, during playback there are HDR adjustment settings and an additional HDR Optimizer that can be turned on or off.
The level of HDR customizability that the Panasonic players have exceed all other 4K Blu-ray Disc players. Additionally the Panasonic players can do SDR2020 conversion which is huge for projector owners.
You bringing up the Blu-ray Disc Association's UHD Nits standard that zero displays on earth can do then saying all 4K players have tone mapping confuses people.
Look, we're just here trying to save people $50 bucks on a great 4K disc player and the Panasonic is the best one to buy…can we just leave it there?
