This player holds its value well for a reason: With any of the consoles, it won't play Dolby vision blurays in Dolby vision even if the TV supports it, it'll fall back to generic HDR. This player works properly for that. It's complete bogus as Xbox at least supports Dolby vision for streaming and games, but it's a different "profile" or something. And for putting a blue ray drive into a PC, it's only good for ripping bluerays for Plex, windows can't play them natively unlike DVDs, you have to use cyberpowerdvd or something because of the DRM and those programs are just laughably buggy these days. I believe the DRM also only works on Intel processors up to 10th or 11th gen and anything beyond that you'd have to rip the blue rays into mkvs, and that's fine for folks who are technologically savvy and maybe already into the homelab scene, but not everyone is willing to do that

How are Blu-ray players still a thing? Console is almost the same price with more functionality. Can buy a drive for PC for far less and constantly have the best software.. just a very outdated piece of equipment. Also just stream it.
When you know, you know.

Mine starting having sound droputs
No sure if it was the set up yet...I moved in into another room and need to test it further
I updated to the most recent firmware and there was 3-4 second sound drop out with the Sony A95L and Arcam AV41 connected...two separate HDMI connections from the UB820
Surprisingly connected the $99 refurb LG UBK90 and everything was fine..LOL
Anyway, the Panasonic UB820 is now connected to a Pioneer LX805 and Hisense U8H ...through the Pioneer AVR with one HDMi cable

Because unless you are 45+ this purchase lacks common sense and is a waste of your money if you understand how to turn tech on... Again blu ray player on things already that do more. I could download the content with PC and set up a Plex server or media server on my router for tv to make use of. I could just run HDMI from my PC. I could pay for a $100 dollar streamer to have atomos/hdr10 etc etc and have access to ever single movie and tv show ever made if I know what I'm doing. The reason I comment is maybe one person will stop and think... Oo maybe I don't need one.. there's another way I can do this. And save them money.
This is hilarious. People who don't own a high end AV system will already ignore this. Your comments are not as useful as you think it is.

How are fancy restaurants still a thing? We have McDonald's.

I own a mid grade AV system and have absolutely 0 use for blu ray player. I can download anything I want and plug it into via USB. Or straight from my computer to receiver via HDMI. Or create a media server for it all on my network. There's no drop in quality. I can absolutely run a 2.5hr 25gb movie 4k all the bells and whistles Dolby almost yadda yadda using any of that. Oo and sure a console blue ray lacks some of the high end features.. but you know what doesn't... The video file I can just get from anywhereeeeee. I can play a 4k hdr10+ Dolby atmos 7.1 movie without a single physical disk coming near me..
Please explain to us where you are legally downloading these 25GB blu-ray quality movies that you speak of since you are an expert on this topic.
We're waiting.
Hint: It doesn't exist. You're entire argument is based around the pirating of movies, which you don't call it as such - it is.

We stand in awe of you. Einstein, Hawkings, Descartes would all bow down to your superior intellect. You win. All.

There are places they can be found that's all I'm gonna say.
And you can always rip them after renting for cheap somewhere if you really want to be straight and narrow.
You are criticizing people for legally buying the very discs that those rips you are stealing were based off of. lmaooo
This is hilarious.
