It is the cheapest model of blu-ray player that doesn't freeze on 4K discs.

Not to mention not all disc offer DV.
Not every disc offers DV also.
Those are the main reasons(other than not freezing) why Panasonic is liked.
From experience I would give up DV before giving up those two.
The 420 has hit $150 but it's been a while.
Sony doesn't offer HCX chipset or Optimizer.
Panasonic doesn't support/offer SACD/DVD-A disc playback.
If your Sony doesn't freeze consider yourself lucky.
The Panasonic is better but not for that price difference, assuming you got on the low sale price.
Not to forget you have to manually turn on/off DV!
The more likely reasons of no new or lower price is there is nothing to add/change.
Current commercial displays can't even take full advantage of HDR let alone DV/HDR10+.
How often do we hear people say just let your display do the processing/tone mapping.
How often are people going to digital purchases instead of disc nowadays.
Imo WE tell these companies we don't need anything new.
FYI Rumor has it Sony is coming out with a new player soon.
