Should I have the HDR Optimizer set to 'Off' when viewing HDR10+ content? Seems like they would both be doing the same thing and "fighting" against each other.
it switches off when you are Viewing HDR10+/Dolby vision content because of the variable scene by scene meta data they use makes adjustments automatically with compatible tv's etc

The colors are dull and washed out when I turn the HDR on . Why is this happening ? Panasonic DP-UB420 connected to a Philips 436M6 hdr monitor . Can someone please help me ?
I have the very same Panasonic player, and the very same problem. Flat and dull 4K picture quality, especially when compared directly to the 4K disc's standard Blu-ray counterpart. I'm watching on a Sony OLED, and EVERY 4K movie I watch looks dull and flat compared to its standard Blu-ray version. The only way I can get comparable picture quality from 4K discs to compare to the SDR Blu-rays is to run contrast brutally high, and likewise the colour and brightness. What I'm clumsily trying to say is that by using the same picture settings on each HDMI input, my Blu-rays look more vibrant, and colourful than the 4K versions. Is the only way to make 4K Blu-ray 'pop' really just a matter of running the TV's contrast very high? But if that's the case, then I could turn up the contrast on a standard Blu-ray and blow the 4K outta the water.. I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what. Help please?
@@jonahlevin67 Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue with 4k movies. I have to put the color to max and the HDR adjustment to high to make it comparable to the blu-ray counterparts.
Some HDR movies don’t need any settings tweaks because they look great but others like the last Jedi you definitely need to bump up the setting to natural or even the one over that with HDR optimizer on.
I kinda get your point, but being a audiophile and coming from that world where your best high end gear doesn’t have tone knobs to adjust sound on the CD or vinyl you’re listening to, you are hearing what the artist intended, good or bad, and of course some disc will sound better than others, I feel the same way when I throw in a movie, it’s like, let’s see who got it right, or not, without me trying to “fix” it for them when I don’t know what they intended it to look like anyway! So, I’m leaning toward the Sony X800M2, because I have one downstairs on my Sony A9g, I know when the director got it right, the picture will be outstanding, and when they didn’t, I don’t have to spend my time playing cinematographer. lol
Great video. Do you adjust either of the Luma High/Mid frequencies under the sharpness settings on the Panasonic for 4K HDR discs, or just leave them on the default setting of 0 ? TIA
Very helpful- I own a 2021 Samsung Q95T (Q90 in the U.S.) and have it set to Super High Luminance (tv can get up to 2000 nits in it's 'Dynamic Mode'). I was wondering in the Panasonic's setup menu for 4K60p Output, 4K/60p(4:4:4) output, ...is this correct for my particular tv...or is that for projectors?
The settings you adjusted, do they automatically reset when playing next disc? Is there a one button reset to factory? What about peek brightness? I have an older 4k TV, low end TCL Roku, so it doesn't get very bright. I'm hoping to replace tv this fall. Thanks
Hello and congratulations for the video. A fundamental question, unfortunately the 1100 euro big brother 9000, on mkv movies from usb, does not emit high resolution audio, i.e. the dts-hd master audio, dolby atmos and dolby true hd are muted, they only work from the original blurays. Can you tell me if this model doesn't have this castration wanted by Panasonic on the 9000? Thank you!
Hello, I’m thinking of buying a Panny 820 or 9000 for my Sony native 4k projector. Since you look satisfied with your 820, I’d like to know what projector do you have. Thanks and great video!
Great video brother. Can you do a video explaining how to connect the UB9000 to an DENON AVR using the analog preouts? I hear that it can enhance the sound a great deal in movies because it would then be using the high quality inbuilt DACS for audio processing in the movie.
Hey - How man channels are you looking to use in your theater? The 9000 only has 7.1 analog outputs so that might limit what you can achieve using it that way. Lots of folks doing things this way run a 7.1 system and just use the player as their preamp. Wire this direcly to amplifiers.
@@JilesMcCoy Right now I only have a 5.1 but my denon x4400h does 9.2 I'm struggling between buying the UB 820 vs the UB9000. My burning question is, is there an significant audio quality/fidelity difference between the two when watching movies via HDMI?

Hi , I have a question about Panasonic DP UB820EBK. I ordered the Panasonic in UK because it was nowhere to be found here in Austria and it will come next week! How did you connect that? HDMI audio to AVR and second HDMI video to TV? Is it right or HDMI audio + video to AVR and from AVR to TV Arc? How is it best to connect? Thank you very much!
I know this is old, but I'll leave it here for future reference. The answer is, it depends on your receiver. If your AVR is capable of decoding or passing through HDR, you only need to connect one HDMI from your UB820 to the AVR, then from the AVR to the TV or projector. My AVR can't handle the latest HDMI standard (only v1.4). It can't pass through 4k anymore, so I have one HDMI to the AVR for surround audio and one to the TV for 4k video.

Great vids. I have ub-450 and I cant find pretty much nothing difference between 4K and blu-ray movies. With 4K colours are washed and cant see any advantage with higher resolution either. Ub-450 has no HDR adjustments. Do I really need to buy ub-820 to see somekind of boost in quality. Pretty disapointted atm. Just bought this ub-450... They say example Jaws 4K has insane quality etc. I have tested it a lot. I cant see any improvements in dark areas or colours. Is that upscale so good, that blu-ray comes so near 4K quality. Either way, whole 4K is big disapointment to me. TV settings are ok. What should I try?
Great demo, but who actually knows what that scene in John Wick 2 is supposed to look like. Probably better to pick a scene that is something we might have a clue what it would look like in reality.
A good reference scene is to pause in a very bright moment like a big explosion. Then you pick the setting where you see most detail within the explosion or bright scene.
I ended up with Panasonic ub420 because my JVC 4K PROJECTOR doesn't have dolby vision alot of projector doesn't support dolby vision. Im very happy with it Panasonic did a good job!

Does this player play 4k hdr files from usb disk well? I have the same UHD65 projector and am interested in the hdr optimizer features but play only files.
i think it does run 4k files but you won't get lossless audio formats like DTS HD Master or dolby atmos, you will be stuck with DD AC-3 or stereo. For digital files you need a mediaplayer.
I received a Panasonic DP-UB820 Blue Ray device today 1. After hours of testing, digital sound cannot be obtained through Dolby Digital / DTS only PCM ON USB!!!
Yeah...watching movies through USB of this player is pretty much useless,video works in many cases but not audio. Im using the mediaplayer in my LG tv for that purpose.(through USB)...it plays everything it seems and no video or audio issues,picture quality is also better than through 820s USB.
Philweezer sorry. I commented further up the page about the optimiser and thought if I put that hand emoji there it would make sense but I saw as soon as I sent it that it didn’t 🤣🤣🤣
Slyder695 this is the same case with the UB9000. It’s the only issue I’ve ran into on mine, 4k hdr blurays are fine so far, but I’m having an issue with a dolby vision series on the built in Netflix app. Where by, you can physically see the entire screen luminance change from one scene to the next, dark bright bright dark..so tempted to turn the optimiser off for Netflix and see if it makes any difference.
Nice video but a couple of issues, could have been so much better 1) a projector has practical no dynamic range so the advaNced setting will show almost no change. Chuck it ON an OLED and the max and minimum settings will destroy the Image. 2) The screen grab you Used has very little dynamic range in iT. If you chose somethIng like PACIFIC RIM the night time Fight in the city, WOW

Nice video but a couple of issues, could have been so much better
1) a projector has practical no dynamic range so the advaNced setting will show almost no change. Chuck it ON an OLED and the max and minimum settings will destroy the
Image.
2) The screen grab you Used has very little dynamic range in iT. If you chose somethIng like PACIFIC RIM the night time Fight in the city, WOW
Thanks for the tips!
None of these settings are ideal. How am I supposed to know how all these affects the calibration?
This is all great, but shows why tv’s rule. Most users will never change settings or even care.
This is true!
That's great but talk less et show more please 😄😍
Will do!
This player has way too many settings. It's just complicated.
That it is.
@@JilesMcCoy I'm getting mines delivered today because my LG UBK90 keeps freezing 4K triple layer discs.
@@Revolver1981 I love mine!
@@JilesMcCoy I'm returning mine because it has numerous scratches on the underside and it was delivered a day later than usual. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Also with all the settings it has it doesn't seem to have a setting to make those two black bars either side of the screen go away. Because some of my standard DVD discs are in a certain format.
@@Revolver1981 That’s a weird set of issues.
So bad player, don't work with 4K files via USB ports! Blu Ray discs upscale very bad! Terrible remote control! Great disappointment! 👎
One of the very best for playing 4k discs. If you want a file player you should look at Zappiti.
@@JilesMcCoy You have little experience with DVD, Blu Ray players! The Panasonic DVD-RV60 bought in 2000 was also very bad! Pioneer, Yamaha and Sony make much better products! The second Panasonic machine and the same shit as the first 20 years ago 😂
Note: the HDR optimizer doesn't work on Dolby Vision or HDR10+ discs.
Thanks for the heads up.
