I'm going to be getting in on one of the great OLED TV deals very soon, and wanted a great UHD Blu-ray player with Dolby Vision to match. I checked Amazon and $400 seems like a great price for this player, so I picked one up.

    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.

    Pardon me if this is a dumb question. Would an Xbox one x or series x do the same job?
    From everything I've gathered in this thread on that question, it would do the same job in that the disc would play but not nearly as high quality a picture. The difference between a console and a dedicated player like this one seems to be very meaningful.

    Quote from soldiersinx :
    One of the biggest differences in streaming and physical media also is the audio. Streaming platforms know that the majority of people who use them most likely will have a sound bar or TV speakers. I don't think many sound bar subwoofers can reproduce sub 30hz with authority. So to save bandwidth, they trim the audio bit rate.

    Watching Godzilla vs Kong, ready player one, and edge of tomorrow on streaming and physical media is a completely different experience.

    I am running dual hsu vtf-3 mk5 and calibrated with Dirac through an onkyo rz50.

    The people saying they can't tell the difference probably do not have a system capable enough.
    30hz? Ha….I would be amazed if they play to 40hz with any authority.

    I purchased Amelie on iTunes in HD which isn't available on Blu Ray or 4K Blu Ray and when I went to watch it the movie was no longer part of iTunes. No notice and no explanation why it was gone (probably something to do with the rights to stream it being expired). At least I own it on DVD, but will certainly buy the physical copy if it becomes available on Blu Ray or 4K Blu Ray. This is just one example of many movies disappearing from streaming services. I'll always own my physical where the quality doesn't depend on my internet service and is the best quality available.

    Hey everyone.

    I definitely see the value and I love physical media, but I'm more looking for the best entry level 4K player. Can anyone recommend anything in the $200 range? I'm looking at the Sony - UBP-X800M2, currently $250 at Best Buy. I'd buy the Sony - UBP-X700/M at $200 but I've read negative things about it freezing up a lot.

    I have a Sony XR65X90CJ, so not a high end display but still have Dolby Vision and as I understand those Sony players have DV as well.
    I used to have skipping problems and you know what cured it? Wiping my discs off with soap and warm water and then drying with a micro cloth. Haven't had a skip or freeze since.

    Also would this be overkill for a Sonos arc 5.1 atoms setup or a big upgrade from streaming audio on that gear?

    ^This. Every. Single. Time.

    Unfortunately, discs are covered in a oily film from the manufacturer 95% of the time. You can easily see this film on most discs by holding them in the light at the right angle, although it's even easier to see on the inside surface of the glossy black cases, where you can usually even see the sucker marks from the equipment that picks up the cases. This was present on standard Blu-Rays as well, but due to the aureal density of each layer on BD-66 and BD-100 discs, anything interfering with the laser's ability to read the disc just exacerbates issues. It's a PITA, but that's the trade off for squeezing additional performance out of existing technology.

    This is especially evident when people try to rip bit-perfect discs. There are probably no fewer than 100 threads mentioning this on MakeMKVs forums.

    As expensive as the Sonos stuff is, it's still not hifi. Unfortunately with speakers, size matters. One way to know if it would make a difference, is to look at the lowest frequency your subwoofer goes to in the specs. If goes below 35hz, you may notice the difference without switching speakers for the low end bass in movies. Streaming usually cuts out a lot of the low end sound. I wish there was an easy answer, but overall, UHD movies pack a lot more into the video and audio than streaming.

    Been following this on Amazon since late 2019. This is not a slick deal. Great player for the money, but regularly offered for sale at this price.

    Very helpful thread - I did not realize the difference between these players and the PS5. I just got a Samsung s95b and am absolutely loving the 4K physical media on it via the PS5. Seems like the general consensus on here is that the player is 10x better than the PS5, but that a lot of that is sound quality, and better quality for larger screen sizes like 77" or >. For a 65" tv with a soundbar (audio upgrade hopeful for late 2023!), is the picture quality upgrade alone that significant? TIA!

    But if you have a TV that supports Dolby Vision, such as the TLC 6 series, is the UB420 still the route to go?
    I would say yes unless you think Dolby Vision is superior.
