Panasonic4K Blu Ray Player, Ultra HD Premium Video Playback and Hi-Res Audio - DP-UB154P-K (Black)

Great ultra HD video player works well and picture is crystal clear I have not had any issues since buying it 3 months ago. It is worth noting when you first turn on this player it is slow to startup and respond to your input and to read the disc. This can be fixed if you go to setup select player settings scroll down to system and where it says quick startup you want to switch that from off to on. Once quick startup is turned on the player should startup and read the disc faster and be more responsive to your input.

It plays blu-rays and dvds without issue. What more is needed? There is no streaming services included which is actually an positive for me as I have a smart TV. The only downside is that there is no Dolby Vision support. If Dolby Vision is important to you, I recommend getting the 820k.

The good and bad:The Good: good price, supports multiple HDR formats. Comes with batteries for remote, USB 2.0 port in front to play media files from USB drives. Does not require you to download some stupid poorly written data harvesting add-ridden app on your phone to operate.The Bad: Only plays Region A. No wifi so you are required to plug into Ethernet cable when ever they update the DRM on future BR/4K releases. No controls on player itself other than eject/power, so if you lose or break the remote, the unit becomes inoperable.Other: I miss the days when electronics like this looked advanced and high tech with their vacuum florescent displays and controls right on the unit itself. Just compare the looks of any original DVD player from the past to the ones they make now and you will understand what I am talking about. Now they look boring and bland. Just plain plastic with barely any or no controls or displays on the unit itself that you will be unable to use if you lose the remote.

Amazing player, I was going to return several 4k movies because the ps5 was skipping, freezing, ect.I wanted to blame the disc's at first but then decided to try out a warehouse deal, so glad I did, this machine plays everything I own with a perfect flawness experience.I highly recommend this player, I know everyone wants the ub820 including me but this taught me a valuable lesson indeed.So easy to set up right out of the box.Picture, sound are all superior to the ps5.Very nice compact size design will fit perfect into anyone's setup.Complete with remote and batteries.Upscaling all your old dvd s, upscales bluray up to 4k quality, plays any disc you can put in including cd s of any kind.

This is junk. Owned for a total of 3 months and has already stopped working. I am very gentle with my electronics and always make sure to clean discs before playing them. This player just stopped reading all discs, even ones that used to play fine on it. Just spits them all out and says "disc is incompatible".Even for the few months it did work, the issues mentioned by other negative reviews were all there - the build quality is cheap, and the player makes loud noises while trying to read discs. And if you tried to start playing a disc by just ejecting and closing the player with a disc in it wouldn't like that and wouldn't play it. You had to first turn the tv on, then the player, then insert the disc - it was so finicky and particular. Normally I could learn to live with these issues and work around them if the thing had kept working, but it decided to just stop doing it's only job today.Avoid this one and buy something that actually works.

Works well. good product

I got this to go with my new 4K TV. I also got the 4K versions of LOTR at the same time, so that I could enjoy Middle Earth in all of its glory. The picture is amazing.That said, I do have some Blu-Rays that don't work with it. My Star Wars Original Trilogy boxed Set of Blu Rays stutters. I also noticed My Alien Trilogy Blu Rays do as well. It's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing all the details in the blacks for the Star Wars Space Scenes and the Alien creature.I read that the firmware update might counter this, however when I connected it to my router with a network cable, the firmware was completely up to date.I believe it has something to do with the encoding Fox was doing like 10 years ago. Other DVD's and Blu Rays that are not Fox work just fine. Heck, even Die Hard (original, which I wrap Xmas gifts to) worked just fine as well. It must be something about the encoding for those boxed sets. Regardless, this 4K Blu Ray player is a keeper and looks amazing on my 65" QLED 4K Roku Plus TV (highly recommended as well)!

Major upgrade! Had a model below this was not aware it was not 4k. Got this and it’s a very noticeable difference. Makes me wonder if there is even better?Got this used on Amazon for $150, about $50 off total. Was slightly jarring to not get the original box, just the parts in an Amazon box with stuffing. But everything works fine and no marks or anything. Give used a shot!
