This is my review for Panasonic 4K ULTRA HD Blu-ray Player, model DP-UB420GNK, built September 2020. I needed to update of this review and downgrade my star rating of this bluray player to 1 star. This review is going to be long because 4K players can be complicated. This player is marked in the rear for region 4. This is a Panasonic entry model 4K Ultra HD blu ray player. My overall experience with this player and Panasonic Australia has been disappointing. This player has some absurd limitations with serious faults of which I am fed up with...

Firstly its overpriced. I paid $165 about 1 and half years ago. The wireless connection drops out especially when watching On Demand TV. Sometimes when you turn it on the menu does not appear at all and oyu have to unplug it and restart. Also the version I bought only provided Netflix, ABC IView, SBS on Demand and some other rubbish no one wants. There is no way you can get 7Plus or 9Now or TenPlay. The only part that works well is the DVD playback. Avoid it and buy a Smart TV. Very disappointing product from Panasonic.

I did much research and decided to buy this player as it suited my needs the most. I wanted a player that would bring out the best of my extensive DVD and Blu-ray collection. I have no intension of buying into yet another format with the silly prices of Ultra 4K disks. The unboxing was underwhelming when you see it in real life, a small thing the size of a 1980's clock radio. The cost cutting is obvious everywhere, even to the owner's manual, the tiny remote control and the no display window is a first for me. Another big disappointment is you ...

After a couple of months of use we've not had any major issues and enjoyed watching HD blu-ray documentaries and films. Playback is stunning! The HDMI in and out is handy for use with our soundbar.
The build quality is good for the price but the remote really needs improvement. I constantly press the Netflix button by accident. Another annoyance is that you seem to be unable to return to the menu in DVDs because the menu button on the remote is unsupported (these are new DVD box sets as well).

It is very easy to set up except that the HDMI cable is not included. I have no complaints regarding video and audio. However I am quite disappointed by the not user friendly remote control.

Read a number of reviews, this had some of the best due to its video & audio output from Standard or 4K.
Easy to setup - just go through all the menu items to make sure you haven't missed any that may compromise output, connected to a recently purchased 65" 4K UHD TV without issue and we had liftoff !!
Played .mkv files from the NAS without any problem - stunning to see a 1080p BR in 4K, so much detail.
Next we tested with the Mad Max Fury Road 4K UHD HDR version - all I can say it WOW what an experience. The picture was absolutely stunning wit...

I bought this to experience 4K video on my 4K TV - Love it !
I did a bit to research before buying as I have a receiver that the original Bluray Player was connected to (it has a Hi Def pass through) and wanted the best bang for my buck, and I didnt want to go out and spend thousands because I would need a new receiver with a 4k Pass through. there are only a few 4K players that have dual HDMI outputs, one for 4K video the other for Audio output. Installation and setup took minutes, was simple and relaxing. I have a number of Panasonic devices...
