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.

An "actual 4K" disc(UHD) doesn't get upscaled, as a matter of fact it gets "downscaled" through tone mapping so your display can process it.
With UHD(4K) disc the 420 processes HDR better than any player in that price range also.
Unfortunately most BB employees are not very knowledgeable so their advice is very questionable!
Why I'm not that surprised they would say that!

In regards to BB employers I've dealt with both, some knowledgable and some not, similar to car salesman. This isn't rocket science and nontechnical opinions run rampant.
I dont think I have ever seen a remaster that wasnt at the very least brighter than the blu ray version of the same film
As for remasters...Apocalypse Now-Final Cut is phenomenal in both picture and sound
Normally I dont buy the remasters. But I had heard this one was good and it was $9.99 BF two years ago
Phenomenal picture and sound
I personally would not pay more than that though
On another note
4K discs video and sound will always be better than streaming

There is no way you would have data on "Most" BB employees
I know several that are very knowledgeable..even with brands that are dealer showroom items
But like I have said many many times
Opinions dont have to have any connection to facts

We have around 14 and the one BB claims is their best and none are that knowledgeable but never have been anyways.
Even in here you rarely hear anyone say go to Best Buy for advice, usually it's some av forum! 🤷🏻 ♂️
Not surprised that store told him that! 🙄
If you consider BB knowledgeable that's your opinion and great for you 👍🏻

Coming to your own conclusions again....
Based on my experience with several stores in the 3 states that I have lived in there are some good knowledgeable employees
One topic that comes to mind is a few employees have worked with me ( and demo'ed) products that have much better room correction( to my ears) than Audyssey XT32..in my search to upgrade from it

hmmm you might want to look up the definition of OPINION 🤔
Talking to BB employee regarding XT32 in a demo room is your example of them being knowledgeable!!! ……. Ok then 👍🏻
On other note xbox couldn't play the Avatar bluray so hopefully with ub420 i can finally watch it

You know the definition of most right...?
As for my demo(s) you dont know all the details, just a snippet actually
So you are yet again " coming to your own conclusions"
But again..Opinions dont have have to be connected to any facts
You consistently prove that...

No different than YOUR opinion that they are knowledgeable!!!! 🤔 🤪
Would be silly to ask you for "statistical evidence" that ALL BB are knowledgeable!!! 🤪
You are correct I don't know all the "details" I wasn't there so I have to go by apparently a "snippet" YOU provided!!

I didnt say most Best Buy employees are knowledgeable......LMFAO...
That would be silly since I dont have experience with the majority of their more than 1000 stores...right?...
Again.. you are." coming to your own conclusions"
And yes..you consistently prove that opinions dont have to have any connection to facts...

I also agree with your comment about the audio and video quality in regard to 4k discs vs streaming. With that said, in many cases convenience rules.
