To the folks who always feel the need to comment about physical media being dead... this isn't your thread. Move along.

You value pure convenience. That's great! It comes at the cost of many things that others may appreciate, including video quality, having a library of media to share with others, the joy of collecting, and even the ability to watch whenever you want media that may not always be available to you. For instance, I enjoy the original Star Wars without the changes. I'll pop in my theatrical DVD. Many years ago I enjoyed this silly show called Nowhere man. It's only available on DVD too, which I conveniently have. You will not find it streaming in the foreseeable future.

You opine at the cost as not slick because again, you're not appreciative of the medium. I will agree it's expensive, and I will even agree this is not the lowest this player has been. However, sometimes people are willing to pay a premium for something a little different, and maybe a little better.

There are those who still play old video games of their childhood and will spend thousands to RGB modify it and maybe get niche devices like a Retrotink5X to scale and sharpen in, or even by a CRT monitor to enjoy it as they did exactly as they did when they were children. Sure, they could play some of the games on the Nintendo switch's paid library of limited games, quite conveniently, but with more lag, but over all it's a different experience, again.

Some of us appreciate different things - no need to compare or condescend. This thread is simply is not for you.

You can also have extra features enabled (skipping unskipable content, etc.) and making the regular BluRay playback region free with a Firmware modification. It costs around $35 and the developer is EXTREMELY pedantic when it comes to details. But if you google region free Panasonic you'll find the site and it's well worth the money.

I highly recommend this 4K player. It runs circles around Xbox Series X and PS5.

Could you please explain further? I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to Blu-ray players, but how can this "run circles" around those gaming systems? Better picture? Better sound? Thanks.

Better tone mapping, Dolby Vision for discs, HDR optimizer, a lot quieter

I have the 420 version of this, no Dolby vision since I have a Samsung tv, but this is the best 4K player for the price. Just don't use the apps.. they are trash, use Apple TV or Roku

I can't understand why 4k DVD players are still $400. None of this is new technology. Let's be real... These players should be $99.

This is an incredible UHD player. Went from the Sony x700 to this and it was like night & day.

It's a niche product now. Discs are not even going to be in the new Best Buy remodel.

I bought one back in 2017 to go with my new OLED b7. I think I spent $200. I'm also confused by the $400 pricetag.

Quote from VincentV6780 View quoted comment :
disc are dead like 5 years ago. Seriously the hassle of disc is just a pain and the cost. I know it's ultimately a better picture and sound but i'm surprised this still goes for $400. Maybe if your rich and have a dedicated theatre room etc and all about the best of the best then I guess. I tried the whole blue ray /UHD btw with xbox one and wasn't blown away. Streaming will only improve
