Epson 6050UB Replacements - Third Times the Charm?
Переглядів 2,8 тис.3 роки тому
After the pure excitement of upgrading my 5040UB with the Epson 6050UB, imagine my disappointment when I had to replace the unit - multiple times. Epson's customer service is excellent and reminded me of AppleCare's back in the early 2000s.

Should you paint your whole Home Theater Room? Plus a free movie giveaway!

Some people tell you to paint the ceiling. Others say the screen wall, but I think you should paint the whole room. Plus in this video there is one free code for Sonic the Hedgehog and it's hidden in the video to be redeemed by one lucky viewer.
Grey Silver Ticket 120inch Screen VS White Matte Silver Ticket
Переглядів 56 тис.4 роки тому
You hear and read so many recommendations for white screens in light controlled rooms. Depending on your situation, they still might be the best solution for you. For many, there still might be a case for a grey screen in a room - Silver Ticket Screens has the perfect solution. I do think they could do some work on their website and explanations on their products. www.silverticketproducts.com/p...

Updated surround speakers: B&W CWM652's to Sonance VP62 LCR's
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
Updated Speakers: Sonance takes my surrounds to new highs. Bass performance increased significantly. The sensitivity of the new speakers is 90 compared to 86 and seem to be a better match in my system overall. A recommendation is to give them a look if you're in the market. Check out the links attached for speaker spec's. www.bowerswilkins.com/sites/default/files/2018-08/ENG_FP29653_CWM652_info...

SVS SB-2000 Subwoofer Amplifier replacement
Hi based on my projector BenQ HT-3550 (2000 Lumens) which screen would you choose?..... Projector is about 7 1/2 feet from screen, dark room.
i wish these manfactures would give us an option to turn off leds
When you watch 4k blu-rays and press the “playback info” button twice, does it show you the hdr info? Like rgb values and such. That’s literally all Ím looking for
Advice for those who want to find a player to use for their home theater: You should not choose Japanese brands like Panasonic or Sony or something like that, but you should choose reputable South Korean brands with better sound quality like Samsung or LG. Thanks.
A waste of time, didn’t show anything.
I have the 420 in my 7.3.4 HT, and it (HT) is costly. I am running an 85" Samsung mini-led, Klipsch RP 8000, RP504C, and RP5000 speakers powered by Marantz AV7705, MM8077, and MM7055. This player looks and sounds fantastic! I was going to get the 9000 but decided it was not worth it since I will only use the HDMI anyway. Like you said, they have the same video processor, so I would spend 5 times as much on looks. I have a ton of 4K BR rips I play off my NAS, and if I take that same movie on Disc and use the 420, it blows them away in video, especially audio. The 420 is just a fantastic deal!
Dude that filter is good for several thousand hours. lol.
Twice you refer to the front vents as "front entry", they are not, they are EXHAUST vents where the hot air is exhausted. Could confuse some prospective buyers.
I was about to make the same comment, but thought to read through the other comments to be sure it hadn't already been mentioned.
I have dual T9's in my system and consider these mandatory. An amplifier shouldn't get hotter than 86°.
Fantastic device
can you give amazon canada links for the type of uk to canada/US plug adapter or power adapter. im looking to buy the 450 and i don't want to damage it by using the wrong adapter or power adapter. i need something that is going to 100% work to power the player.
I just brought the 420 for $80 open box never used from FB market. !🎉 Literally never used. My LGC3 is like GOKU… Ultra Colors are popping like never before!!! There’s definitely difference in streaming than having and reproducing the source at home. The GAMMA😱 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Best rev
I had a Panasonic dp-420 and it wouldn't read some of my discs even though they were in great condition
Masking + white screen = win. But masking is a lost art. You either DIY or pay out the nose.
Hi, how do you get to Netflix menu in this machine, i don't understand how, is there something to press
I bought Panasonic ub820 and it doesn't read my disc anymore. I keep my disc very clean and store them back in there case. I'm very disappointed and angry I paid $500 for the Panasonic ub820. My Panasonic ub420 plays flawlessly no problems!!
Could hardly hear you..
Give up your Emotiva amplifiers and go with Arcam PA240. Thank me later
Thank you for this review! Very good info and comments. Great that you make videos like this from an enthusiast point of view, makes the energy and enjoyment very high. Thinking to buy the 820 with Dolby Vision, since my project supports Dolby Vision. Had the UB9000 a few years ago. Great player and build like a tank, but since I am not a big collector of movies I can settle with the 820.
Cmon! Did NOT show how you removed plate
Great video . I have just purchased this exact player . It’s my very first UHD bluray player . It’s a good solid player for the price point . The lack of wifi doesn’t bother me
I see your video was 3 years ago but glad I saw it, my brother is giving his Arcam avr300 which he had in the attic for some years now, I was thinking of replacing my Onkyo tx nr686, I hope it will improve my sound quality also thinking of getting the Emotiva amp to go with it, thanks for sharing!
If I connect this model of player to my Onkyo via HDMI will receiver decode all audio? I am happy with movie sound from Xbox one to receiver but want a better 4 k picture experience without losing audio
I'm happy very with my Panasonic UB420 replace my xbox one x as 4k player I'm surprised the colors is rich and detail! Plus i don't need a dolby vision my JVC projector don't even have dolby vision also alot of 4k projector doesn't even have dolby. That reduced the license fees very SMART move by Panasonic.
Do you have any video of how it performs and how much
Just got the UB420😊
I didn't know this existed until I read an review in Sound and Vision today that mentioned it! Thank you a great explanation!!!
As long 4k xbox players and ps5 physical media is here to stay. I love holding something instead of just invisible streaming. Also turntable came back because of physical.
Thank you for this! Very informative and helpful. Great job 👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Dolby vision aside, is there any marginal upgrade to the picture quality on the UB, 9000 versus the 420 I know. In terms of sound, it’s far superior, and wondering whether better components in the UB 9000 yield a slight improvement in visual performance?
Thank you for posting this video! I ordered a white screen, but haven’t opened it and I am thinking of returning it and getting the high contrast screen? This screen is a little bit darker than the gray; do you think that will produce an even more vibrant image with contrast?
It depends. Projector placement will have a lot to do with that, too.
Excellent testimonial, cutting through the crap:)
Glad you liked it!
Does the 420 do hi res audio?
Yes!
Very detailed oriented person you are. Got answers from you my boi! Maybe you’re meant to make videos and help others
I appreciate that!
Bought the 420 to go with my Benq 3550 and couldn’t be happier!
Good deal!
Hey man! Thank you so much for such a great review video! I have a quick question for you. I have had a Sony ubp-x700m for about a year and a half. It is quit working. Will only read DVDs. Will not read regular Blu-ray discs or 4K discs anymore. It is on the latest firmware. I am ready to replace it. I have looked at the Sony X800M2 or the Panasonic ubp-420. After a few years of owning it, would you still recommend the Panasonic? It just seems like such a great player.
Yes, absolutely! Although I’m streaming more these days.
I just came across your channel and have kid chaos going on around me. I notice your ceiling is very similar to mine, do you have any videos regarding speaker setup?
Not yet, but I do intend to return to posting in the future.
Yup. I like this comparison. I am in the market right now.
6 entire minutes talking about its size and the way the box looks ><. How does it play lol. Sometimes smaller is better. I can tell you like big things. I'm mainly interesting in the technical aspects of the player.
The tech specs are easily found online.
LCD projecter 8000 lumens what is the best material for this type of lumens
That’s super bright, if truly 8000 lumens. I’d consider a .7 gain screen.
in this video which center is installed HTM62 S1 or HTM61 S1
HTM61
Hey there, I hear projecter alot when people are reviewing the 420. I have a QD OLED that is only capable of HDR10+ and was looking at this player. Is it fine for an oled in your opinion?
It will pair well with your TV.
@hometheaterhobby9450 thank you!
I’ve been using a tripod screen for years but I finally got a grey screen and am just surfing UA-cam to see what others think so I can back out before it ships and I’m infinitely more excited now.
Awesome! I'm happy you found the information helpful!
Does it ever shut completely off? Like if your AVR is off, what is the fan unit doing? Thanks
Yes, the fans turn off. They automatically run as heat increases.
It's a shame this channel doesn't seem to be active anymore. I have many shared experiences and perspectives as the OP... although i have not yet attempted to transition away from Marantz (yet!)
I had to take care of some things, but I plan to reengage with new content soon.
I don't know if this channel is still active, but to the OP if still active and if this video is still relevant: when you get "mixed results" from DIRAC, are you referring to anything specific regarding frequencies? For example, do you notice that the bass or treble or mid-range specifically sounds worse or better?
I will upload a new video within 30 days sharing some details including testing from recently upgrading to the AVR10.
Thank you! Very good points and eye opening. I'm getting my first projector soon and you've convinced me to pair it with this screen.
Thanks for the kind words. Very cool!
This guy rambles on and on without being able to say anything meaningful
I agree.
I respect anyone who's willing to put themselves out there. And if they happen to have a sense of humour, just like Mr agreeable well that's even better.
@@totalplonker824 totally agree 😁
