Main difference is DV and the extra adjustments with "tone mapping modes" are more for people that like to tweak their PQ, example are PJ owners.
Since PJ's can't do DV the 820 is way overkill.
The 420 processes HDR better than any player in this price range(it's the same as the 820).
Since DV is dynamic HDR you get whatever the transfer of the movie gives you.
Depending on that transfer, the HDR processing on the 420 can rival a movie with DV.
The bigger difference is upscaling to 4K, the 420 does that even better.
It does it so well that depending on the transfer of the movie, BD disc may rival 4k streaming.
This player will give you the best PQ from all three disc formats and no issues that people often bring up with other players.

When watching Planet Earth II for instance on my X700M which is a long series, if I pause and turn off and come back to watch again I have to search the disc to find where I left off. My old DVD player use to remember and resume at the pause point.

The one with the best upscaler probably matters most, as 99% of my collection is blu-ray.

Anyway, I could've sworn I remember reading that the Panasonic 820 had one more tone mapping setting that was more appropriate for the Epson projectors when it came to lumen range. I just want to make sure that the 420 won't be missing something that allows me to do any of these mapping techniques on the 5050.
Dolby does not want their video manipulated
So if you watch a lot of DV media , and if your TV can take full advantage of its different mastering then this mapping capability is useless to you

To be honest the ones on the 420 are good for 99% for most PJ's. Just start with setting the HDR type to PJ and the others to auto and see how that works for you. Almost all the PJ owners I know are very happy with that.
Panasonic players are a must have for PJ owners in my opinion because those settings are only found on them and the processing is much better.

Got it. Thanks again. Do you think my Samsung KS8000 (Quantum dot/HDR 10/edge lit) TV would benefit from the HDR mapper/enhancer? It gets to about 1000 nits on a 25% window and 1400-1500 nits on smaller windows. I'm guessing the 1080P to 4K upscaler will help either way...
