Sony has the Dolby Vision the kids are always talking about these days. The Panasonic doesn't.

Someone might have already mentioned it, but DO NOT buy a Sony 4K player. Not only is it annoying to have to manually disable/enable Dolby Vision depending on the content, but almost any movie written to a BD100 disc will freeze about 2/3rds of the way in. Sony has ignored this issue for years, just like a lot of the issues/bugs plaguing their other products. Do not support this company. They could care less about giving the consumer a product that can perform its basic functions.

Here's a list of movies on BD100 discs that you won't be able to watch in their entirety on a Sony 4K player.

There's a lot of niche/limited-run stuff that simply doesn't exist on streaming platforms in the US, let alone older stuff that's long been out of print (you can have my original Robotech DVD set with the original audio when you pry it from my cold, dead hands). Discs may be deprioritized for a lot of folks, and even understandably so...but they're not going anywhere.

Quote from RyanL :
Yes, it does. If I had to do it again I would probably get the LG player with DV.
I bought UBP-X800M2 because it supports both DVD-A and SACD. I already own a cheap LG player that I bought in 2017 (UP870 for $79) still plays good Applause
For Sony, I even used both HDMI, still no go. Another user above suggested I vent it adequately but the 3 discs I tried, all failed in few minutes into the movie and the player was sitting on top of another turned off unit, with lots of space above. Not sure if it can heat up so quickly. Moreover, UBP-X800M2 is advertised as a well built player with metal chassis.

Quote from Ponder :
Not everyone has a computer anymore. Not everyone wants to spend the time, effort, energy, storage costs, equipment costs etc. Some like redundancy. Not everyone has multiple rooms they need to stream their entire collection to...Plus not everyone has to have 4k disc quality on every device.

Not against people setting up their own streaming, but a collection of lets say 1000 movies would take quite a bit to do. Market is surely shrinking and I rarely use my 4k player, but I like having the option. I can understand how some would prefer a stand alone setup versus a streaming setup. I will let them make their own choices.

In the end a streaming setup is better but costs dramatically more.
There's really little added cost. You should try it, maybe with a few discs to see what it's like. You can get a $25-50 computer from Craigslist that will pull it off beautifully, if you don't already have something capable. It's pretty easy to put a disc in and then walk away and make some coffee or have some lunch and then throw in another one when you're done. It's mostly automated once you get started. Storage is cheap, electricity is cheap. If you're a normal and healthy person, the amount of energy and effort you would have to expend is minimal.

edit: My Pioneer Blu-ray burner was a little over $100 about 10 years ago, if you need to add one to your computer.

This player came out a few years ago, and Dolby Vision support was added via an update shortly after. Dolby Vision should be available to all units now, either out of the box or after updating to the latest firmware.
Yup - we updated the info so it no longer says "coming soon" Smilie

Storage is not cheap, electricity won't be cheap on a $25-$50 computer. Plus your time and maintenance. There is nothing automated about burning disks. It's labor intensive task and may not be for everyone. Time is also money, people seem to overlook this fact.

I may sound like someone with no clue, but I have been running my setup since 2016 with unRAID OS and have quite a bit of experience in automation and home servers

Lots of things out there not available for streaming. I would rather have a disc library available as you never know what is going to be taken off of streaming or what is going to be edited. I prefer to just watch what I like and stay away from most of the streaming options.

The picture is definitely better, but I've always found that the audio is VASTLY better from a disc. I have a decent sound system, but it only reaches its potential from my BR discs.
I honestly didn't even see what the fuss was about with 4K based on the streaming. UHD is a much higher quality sound and audio experience and got me to appreciate 4K video. Again, whether you put the disc in a player or rip the disc the disc formats are worth owning and having for content you like to watch. You never know when these movies will be unavailable for streaming or edited for content.

See, you're just commenting to fight.

You can use your current computer as an HTPC for PLEX.
HDD storage (1TB) is $25.

Free Ripping software:
Handbrake
MakeMKV
Freemake

There is "work" in getting your arse off the couch and flipping discs. So, the convenience of PLEX is broadcasting ALL your movies to ANY and ALL rooms. If you wanted to do that, how many of these players do you need for EACH television? Or are you going to be carrying your Sony player around? Stop being a boomer and stream (your own content).
1TB for 4k movies?! You sure you aren't commenting to fight? I understand CDs as they take a few minutes, but how long does it take to rip a 4k movie you millennial?! Some people got better things to do besides playing Pokémon go.

Quote from jimkiler :
I bought mine almost 2 years ago but i have some of those BD100 discs and they have no frozen up. I think ventilation/overheating is the reason some people have freezing issues

Ventilation was not a problem for me. This is a known issue discussed heavily on Reddit and AVS Forum. It's possible not all of those discs would be problematic, but most of the discs I personally had issues with were in fact BD100. I went through two players to further isolate the issue and the same discs froze at the same exact timestamp. YMMV I guess, but Sony has become one of the worst tech/home theater companies with far too many defunct products.

Prime used to have that. All three, original voice act with translated cc. I was halfway through it until my kids took over the TV entirely.

Good point.....classic movies can be revisited by the Director and revised with a different feel.

Quote from Dreamliner330 :
100% the UB420. Panasonic makes the best 4K Disc players because of the HDR Tone Mapping & HDR Optimizer functions they have built in that no other player has, not even the consoles. UB420 if your TV doesn't to Dolby Vision, UB820 if it does.

There really isn't a reason 99% of people would have to buy any other player than a Panasonic 420/820. They really are that good.

You also will personally benefit from the interfaces being completely identical.

Question, let's say you have a pretty good upscaling TV like the Sony A80j. Would the Panasonic player upscaling be that much better than the upscaling from the Sony TV with regular blu-rays/4k discs? Planning to get the a80j soon.

I agree, while I only have basic computer skills, ripping & creating your own movie library is pretty labor intensive. While it would be nice to have everything available I think having a decent home theater and tv/screen would be so much easier just plopping in a disc and enjoying the experience.

That's a good question that I've never really seen a definitive answer for. Reviewing upscaling is difficult and I wonder how many different algorithms different TV manufacturers use. I'd imagine it'd be relatively simple to compare upscaling from different players, but there are so many TV brands and types I just don't know if that's ever been done.

The UB420 is the best non-Dolby Vision 4K disc player you can get, so it's hard to go wrong (it specifically has a mode in 'Settings>HDMI>Advanced>HDR Display Type' for "OLED" but you can try all the different modes). I watch 1080 discs on it all the time. 99% certain the player is doing the upscaling in my situation. Since you're specific TV doesn't support Dolby Vision, there really isn't a reason for you to NOT get the UB420.

I am very brand agnostic. Until these Panasonic players came around I was a huge fan of Sony and had them before 4K. Because the Panasonic UB820 (with Dolby Vision) and the UB420 (without Dolby Vision) have built in user selectable tone mapping settings with that TV Type setting, the HDR Optimizer and a few other image adjustment settings no other 4K disc player has, I just don't know of a compelling reason to buy any other player brand.

I will say though, the X700M having Dolby Vision at $150 is pretty incredible, but there is so much more regular HDR10 content and so much benefit with the settings in the UB420. If you have lots of Dolby Vision discs and your TV is Dolby Vision capable, there just might be a solid case to buy both.
