Panasonic DP-UB450EB-K 4K Blu-Ray DVD Player for TV, Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10+, Hi Res Audio, Black

Upgraded to this from the UB150, the difference is quite staggering. Interface is better and more intuitive sound and picture quality is excellent. Am fed up with robbing streaming services, and i quite enjoy watching movies again and again, so its 4K blu rays from now on. On added bonues is the quality of CDs being played tnrough my samsung soundbar....surprisingly quite good. Not a match for my seperates set up, but more than adequate for casual listening. Overall very impressed.

Believe me when I say this - the Panasonic DP-UB150 is THE very best affordable 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player on the market. This was the first player I bought for 4K viewing, and can confirm that is by far the best. Playback is both solid and reliable, so you can purchase with confidence. The player is nice and compact too. Remote is also of good size and quality, and always responsive. Playability is phenomenal. The picture & sound quality are second to none. Really quite impressive. I've tried and tested the model which come along after this one, and it wasn't a patch on the DP-UB150. Oh, and Panasonic 4K players beat Sony's efforts, hands down (my Sony 4K player barely lasted a month before it packed up working!). The Panasonic DP-UB150 is recommended 100% 👌 Picture Quality ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Sound ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Overall rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Dolby Vision is not enabled by default. Out of the box, this works fine for TVs that do not support Dolby Vision. However, if you have a Dolby Vision–capable OLED (or similar), the default settings are wrong. They can be changed, but it took me longer than it should have to realise what was going on. You need to enable Dolby Vision manually in the HDMI settings, then go into the advanced picture options and set the TV type to OLED. Once that is done, the image snaps into place. After that, you still have the usual TV-side settings to sort out. In short, whatever TV you own, this is not really a plug-and-play device. You do need to spend time setting up both the player and the television properly. There is also the HDR Optimiser for standard HDR10 discs, which is extremely useful, but oddly hidden. You can only access it by long-pressing the HDR button on the remote while a standard HDR movie is actively playing. It does not appear in the normal menu system. Once you know it is there, it is powerful and effective, but discovering it feels more like learning a cheat code than using a consumer product. Where it genuinely loses a point is the locked standby timer. If you pause playback for more than about fifteen minutes, the player powers itself off and this behaviour cannot be disabled. That would be annoying but tolerable if all UHD discs resumed properly. Some do not. When that happens, you are forced to hunt manually for your place again. That is poor design, full stop. I do not mind the menu system at all. The remote is classic Panasonic, very similar to their older TVs and players. The menus are archaic and slightly odd, but in a way I quite like. It feels like proper equipment rather than a smart device, which suits the role perfectly.

While I was researching for the most capable (and affordable) Blu-Ray player that would enhance the performance of my LaserTV Projector and ALR screen, the Panasonic DP-UB20EB was the obvious choice. Its 4K high-precision Chroma Processor produces outstanding colours, bringing natural images to the screen. The images are vibrant with exceptional detail, creating a visually immersive experience! I was pleasantly surprised at the rich quality produced by the automatic upscaling of Blu-Ray (HD) content. Even some basic DVD discs resembled high-definition. The player made my projector’s Dolby Atmos sound richer and more captivating than ever before! I was particularly excited about the bass as it is now much clearer and well-defined. Furthermore, the ‘Dialog Enhancer’ feature makes it easier to hear speech without needing to raise the volume too high. Though the player’s Remote Control works well, I replaced it with the Panasonic DP-UB9000 Remote Control (bought separately) as I preferred its layout and it has a backlight for use in a dark room. Admittedly, the Panasonic DP-UB20EB is a considered purchase, if you are on a budget. But after assessing its overall amazing picture and sound quality, upscaling capabilities, HDR processing, and its smooth, uninterrupted playback, I can only conclude that this award-winning product delivers as promised. This beast offers sensational performance and I can confidently recommend it.

Excellent player, easy to set up and useful USB support for movie playback. 4k visuals look great. Remote quality questionable and when I first set it up the tray was opening and closing and wouldn’t respond (remote buttons can get stuck down!!) Easy to plug in and get going and easy to use , great value and better than having to remove discs from my Ps5!

Great 4k Ultra HD Blue Ray Player. I returned the recommended Sony player as it didn't have Wifi and the sound quality was terrible. This machine although £100 more expensive has almost everything you could possibly want, picture and sound quality are excellent, it has wifi for upgrades and YouTube, Netflix etc. It upscales older disks and even plays my 3D Blue Rays perfectly. One criticism is that it doesn't have an optical sound output so cannot be connected directly to my Hifi without buying an extra converter box for the second HDMI output. Highly recommended as the next best player is over £900!

La qualité d’image est excellente et le lecteur a été tout suite compatible avec le home cinéma Bose.

I like it all over. High quality sound and image (love the Dolby Video feature).

Buena marca y buenas prestaciones. Lo lee todo. Qué más se puede pedir por un precio tan competitivo...

the player is awesome, it has everything you may need to have some quality reproduction of your blue rays but the interface is slow and cumbersome. I personally dont use it for media apps like netflix etc as i have a separate player(nvidia shield) but be aware if you buy and you have such needs. Unfortunately mine come with 1.70 firmware so i couldnt apply the multiregion mod as it's for 1.69 but a hardware mode is available as well in internet if you sre interested on multiregion blue rays and dvds. 4k are region free so no problem.

Best DVD player ever! only issue is that it didn't have HDMI cable so i have to buy one but other than that it was playing very well and region free
