1st setting is the 4k upscaling. That is recommended to be turned off (especially when watching a 4k disc as it doesn't need to be upscaled). I have used the upscaling on regular blu rays with no issue, but usually just let my C1 do that as it does it better anyways.
2nd setting is to be sure the cinema conversion mode is set to Video instead of Auto.
I'm really curious to see if this would work for you. I know that it seems to have worked for nearly everyone who found this info and tried it. There's a YouTube video that covers this and the comments section is full of people thanking the guy for the video, saying that they were beyond frustrated, beyond the return window, and just ready to give up on it. Link to video...

That said, there is still the obvious issue with the manual selection of Dolby Vision. Yeah, it is a little frustrating but it does get the job done at a less expensive cost vs the Panasonics. I jumped on the UB820 deal myself at Abt when the price dropped to $348 and got an extra $25 off for signing up for their email list. I couldn't resist at $323 and am looking forward to getting it tomorrow.
If you get a chance to try the settings please respond with your results. If it doesn't work I'm not going to bother to even mention it again. But if it works like it has for me the Sony is a decent budget entry into the 4k physical media world for many.

Wondering if there has been any consistency among those who have bought them (either good or bad). I see an Open-Box Excellent condition for $181, but have never had experience with them myself.
A documented glitchy electronic device returned to a Best Buy.
What could go wrong.

What if you use your TV for 4K upscaling, HDR tone mapping, and TV-led Dolby Vision, because it's supposed to be top notch as well, e.g., the Sony Cognitive Processor XR in the A80, A90, and A95 series OLEDs?
You post a lot on the electronics items, so thought you might have an opinion.
The Sony BD players also play a lot of network media that the Panasonics won't.
Not really a comparison since you can't turn off display processing.
I could see how it may be a benefit turning off processing with Sony with a good display.
It sounds like that's what needs to be done to solve the known issues with Sony anyways.
Panasonic we had to really scrutinize the picture, basically a wash.
As a matter of fact there is a much greater difference between calibrated vs non-calibrated display.
DV isn't very relevant since it's dynamic HDR, all dependent on quality of content & quality of display.
Why IMO the 420 is a great buy especially when on sale.
Depending on quality of DV content vs the "processing" of HDR will determine the difference.
Often it's not a big one because of the good "processing" from player/display.
Network media, I know no one that uses their player for that, I know I don't.

Smart Functionality: With fast, stable built-in Wi-Fi, you can wirelessly access your favorite streaming apps and services including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime & various others.
Look at Samsung, no DV and people rave about their PQ!
