It's ideal for simply playing discs
3/5

Aside from that, there are a slew of issues. If you're only planning on using this player to play Blu-ray discs, rays/dvds, and don't use the box's remote, which is fantastic. br>However, because of the price point, I made some incorrect assumptions and had to return the unit.
1. There isn't a Spotify app available for this device. The web browser is also unable to play music from the Spotify website.
2. I purchased it with the intention of using it with DLNA. My DLNA devices are not recognized by their DLNA stack.
3. The player is halted due to a malfunctioning web browser. As in, it hangs out on social media sites for a while and then vanishes.
4. In many ways, user interface is strange and difficult. This will not be an issue if you are only playing discs.
5. The remote, according to other reviews, is terrible. At $400 br>6, this is unforgivable. There are very few third-party apps available. Don't hold your breath for a Disney app.
6. There is no instruction book. In a sea of $100 players, this is a $400 player. A manual is something I'm expecting.

yay for HDR10! I, like a lot of other people, purchased a Sony UBP-XXXXXXXXXXXX X800 on the advice of a Best Buy employee, and my Samsung QLED, oblivious to the HDR format war raging between Dolby Vision and HDR10, and how my Blu-ray player was affected
5/5

Thanks to it, my Blu-ray player would never be able to provide the best picture for my TV. However, after a year of anticipation, a player that can do both has been released! The only disadvantage is the cost, but I believe it is well worth it. br>br>At first, the weight made me nervous; This is a very light device. That shouldn't be a problem, but there's something appealing about a large machine. However, after watching a few films on it, none of that mattered because the picture was stunning. I'm not sure why, but the contrast between dark and light was noticeably better than on my old Sony. It also has a number of HDR modes from which you can choose the one that best suits your needs; this is a fantastic feature. HDR10, on the other hand, is stunning. At the moment, I only have Aliens and Alita, but even when compared to HDR10, I can tell a difference. In terms of audio, it bitstreamed the data to my receiver via a second HDMI cable with no problems. Oh, and setup is a breeze. br>br> There's a simple setup wizard for setting up the player, as well as one for connecting to the internet. It then proceeded to update to the most recent firmware after that was completed. Sweet. Now for some minor drawbacks: br>br> First, there's the remote control. I'm not sure why they put a Netflix button next to the up arrow. It takes forever to get to your apps, such as YouTube (second complaint), so hitting that button by accident and being whisked away to the Netflix app is a real pain. Third, while the interface is functional, it isn't particularly impressive. It takes a long time. It's fast-paced and clumsy at the same time. br>br>Overall, I'm very pleased with this player and would recommend it to anyone who owns a QLED.

The most effective player on the market
5/5

This is, without a doubt, the best movie player available. It does an excellent job of mapping colors. You can use the HDR Optimizer to fine-tune spectral detail so that you don't end up with overly bright scenes or dark shadows. This is the only player worth considering if you have a projector. If money is spent on any other player, it is a waste of time. The UB820 and the UB9000 are identical except for the fact that the 9000 has a dedicated power supply for the audio stage, an upgraded DAC for stereo audio listening (not movies), and a metal case. So, unless you're doing high-end stereo listening, the 9000 isn't necessary.

Not named Oppo, this is the best 4K Blu-ray player on the market
5/5

After searching for a 4K Blu-ray player that is well-built, has a front-mounted timer, a user-friendly interface, and overall excellent picture quality, I finally found one. I'm glad I was able to locate the Panasonic 820. I was disappointed by LG and Sony's 4K Blu-ray players. They're poorly constructed and flaws abound. Let's start with the design: it's matte black glossy with excellent build quality. With the exception of Technicolor HDR, it supports all HDR formats. All of the HDR formats are supported, including HDR 10, HDR 10, and Dolby Vision. All audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS X, are supported. The HDR optimizer allows you to tweak some settings to improve your HDR experience. For Dolby Vision content, however, it does not work. br>br>The apps are the only drawbacks I see with this player. There's no Vudu or Hulu, YouTube is broken and won't play 4K video, and the App Store is lacking in apps. However, since my TV and X BOX have more apps built in, I don't think it's a big deal. Overall, if you don't want to spend nearly $2000 on an Oppo player, this 4K Blu Ray player is a good option.

Even with the poor remote, I'd buy it again
5/5

For the most part, it works well, and the picture quality is excellent. To play regular and 4K Blu-ray discs Rays, without having to pay top dollar, you can get a top-notch player. But it's not without flaws. br>br>The remote leaves a lot to be desired, as it includes a slew of buttons that I don't see a need for and leaves out useful ones. Instead of pressing a button, you must go into a menu to change the subtitles or even the audio. What is the point of having a button for closed captioning? Someone should be fired for making that decision. Netflix has its own button, but it can only stream in 1080p? This is a player that can handle 4K resolution! The Amazon Prime Video app, at the very least, supports 4K resolution. The YouTube app is broken, and it can't play anything higher than 1080p without crashing. A Berliner Philharmoniker app, which includes 4K performances and a web browser, is also available. More apps can be downloaded from the Market, but there aren't many available right now. br>br>As long as the media file does not contain a lossless audio track, it works fine. The audio will either not play or will play in a jumbled manner. When playing media files, it only appears to like lossy audio tracks. It's a shame, because it could easily replace my HTPC if it supported Atmos, TrueHD, or DTS-HD. Tracks in high definition audio Overall, if you understand what you're getting with this player, it's well worth the money. Everything else is optional and has no bearing on the device's performance. br>br> It could be improved with a few tweaks or hacks.
