I had a Panasonic ub820 rarely played it and after 3 1/2 years it stopped reading my discs. Cleaned my disks took care of the player I was so disappointed.
Actually Joe, with the X700 you don’t have to run two HDMI cables (one to TV, one to Soundbar) if you have eARC. eARC is bidirectional so all you needs is to run an HDMI cable from HDMI 1 on the player to an HDMI port on your soundbar/system. The bidirectional eARC HDMI from the soundbar to the TV passes through the video. Works great.
Hey! As highlighted in the video there are a few use cases where using separate hdmi runs can matter. Such as the LG C1 not passing through any flavor of DTS. You could go direct to sound bar, but many of those can’t pass through Dolby Vision. So it depends on what you’re running.
Agree. I have both these players and they both very good. The Panasonic has the edge with more settings and it detects Dolby Vision without you having to go into settings yourself. For disc playing, these machines are great.
@@WRNFILM Yes, but I did have a problem getting it to do that, until I switched to the correct HDMI high-speed cable. I don't know what made the difference (I have three cables like that, different brands). Even now, the player sometimes does not want to show Dolby Vision sometimes--I have to open the tray, close it and play again. I only have a few Dolby Vision discs anyway, so it's not really big deal and the player will show them in HDR10 in any case, which I think is very similar . I bought the Panasonic for better build quality and hoping it will last longer than the Sony.
@@WRNFILM I should add that a drawback of the Panasonic is accessing the settings for subtitles. THe Sony has a dedicated subtltle button on the remote. With Panasonic, you have to go to the disc main menu, or into the player settings to get to subtitles. It's not a huge problem, but I do watch a lot of films with subtitles for various reasons.
I've had two of these 4k players. I bought them multi region (for blu rays) modified for a local specialist. The X700 I used for 4 years. It was great for blu rays and discs that were unllblemished or 66 gig discs. On larger 100 gig discs or ones that came with slight manufacturing marks on, it was a nightmare. Freezed and skipped all the time and I was forever exchanging discs. I bought the multi region Panasonic UB820 last year and it hasn't skipped a best on any disc. I'm playing it through an LG G3 and with the latest firmware update on the player, I have full TV lead V2 Dolby Vision (this was an issue before). Discs look great and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the X700, although it seems that the more recent ones don't have the historical issues.
I have a few words of wisdom for new AV physical media files. 1) use your PS5 horizontally. The PS5 can damage your discs using it vertically all the time. I'm not sure about the Xbox Series X. 2) if you bought a TV that doesn't do Dolby Vision, skip the Sony X700 and buy the Panasonic UB820. The X700 can do DV, HDR10, and HLG but it can't do HDR10+. The UB820 does all of them. 3) Don't buy your HDMI cables from Best Buy. They overcharge, by a lot. And that's it. Actually one more, don't buy any of your electronics from Best Buy. And that's all.
Open box special or heavy clearance can be the only way to go. Remember S-video cables? They were typically $5 anywhere at the time of their (limited) use and Best Buy was selling them for around $20+tax. They still sell them despite being outmoded tech for $9 now. It'd be like buying a mini USB cable today. To charge.... what?
I bought my UB820 for £200 off ebay over a year ago and it works just fine, cleaned and updated firmware and good as new, no need to buy inferior option just go used

I have a Sony S6500 that I bought at Wally World. After all the updates it's been through since, it now identifies as the X700. Not sure when I purchased it, but I can't complain about it one bit.
For the Sony x700 there are a lot of reviews saying that after 1 hour of watching a disc it starts to skip and freeze, it's not all the machines most of the reviews are fantastic, but it's a problem you should watch out for.
Reliability is unfortunately a major issue with 4K players. I personally haven’t had a problem after years of using the X700, but it’s definitely worth noting.
I got the UB420 because I have a Samsung TV. No dolby. The HDR optimization tool is amazing. 4k is amazing and the blu-tray/DVD upscaling is actually better than my tv. Wasn't expecting that.
@WRNFILM What I wonder is we'll ever see a next generation of 4k players. All of these current players were designed and manufactured between 2017-2019.
@johnpajestka5022 and they are showing their age! The UI compared to current gen streaming devices are rough. I personally also love the option to change settings with an app.
Any and all recommendations are welcome so thank you. I've poked online for years now waiting for a bang-for-buck 4K player but so far not much has popped out. What I grew weary of immediately was the surplus of 4K upscaling which is just a Blu Ray player with software made to stretch 1080p movies onto the screen, masquerading as a 4K. Those should be all sent to the scrap pile for false (title) advertising. Some viewers might not care too much but I will notice. It's the artificial motion and smearing of pixels which take me out of the experience. I would not want to be that old couple with mismatched hardware trying to play their grandkids' (SD) DVDs on a 4K TV, smeared pixels, at 60fps fluid motion or whatever it's called for the brand. It makes old people suffer motion sickness and they have no clue how to navigate the menu to turn it off.
Upscaling is a big issue which is why I'm happy you can set if the X700 or UB820 will upscale DVDs / Blu Rays or send them out native. My issue is that the TV (if it is 4k) will upscale your media no matter what...and it's pretty rough. That's one of the reasons I'm so Impressed with the UB820. You won't confuse it for a 4k source at all, but it does an admirable job minimizing the upscaling artifacts.
I got the X700, and can confirm the upscaling on that is brilliant. Unfortunately, I can't really enjoy it much any more, since it has developed a problem reading DVD menus. I can get to the menu, and sometimes I can select the options, and it will be fine. But other times it won't allow me to select anything. I have to use my old PS3 instead, or VLC on my computer, but the upscaling is non-existent with those.
I have a oppo 203 4K playerwith a plug in chip to make it multiregion but earlier this year I bought the panasonic U820 as a backup drive which also can be made multi region via the remote
I got two of these Panasonics and i have to eject disc multiple times to get sound to work sometimes. Scream Factory discs always have pixel issues in both as well.
I've got a Panasonic DMB-BDT280, there's only one output. That's gotta go to the projector but I'm going to have to blu-tooth the sound to the soundsystem. Any advice on a blu-tooth box for the Dolby DTS please? Afraid I'm a hippy & have a mix of second hand & new. Great video. 😊
Unfortunately I don’t. I haven’t used a Bluetooth box so I can’t vouch for any. But I would look for one with version 5.0 or above for low latency performance.
@@WRNFILM Thanks for your advice. Its annoying that I have more outputs on the DVD player, so I wired that in so I can get the surround sound from my DVD's. I shall suffer with my 9 speakers & 2 subs. 😁 I'm half done. The projector & screen have yet to go up.
I watched a few 4K Blu-rays on my Xbox One S. I didn't see what all the big deal was. It looks a little better but that was mostly because of HDR, not the increase in resolution. I'm guessing it has to do with better masters for old movies too. Newer movies there is just differences in how the movies are lit. I think 4K digital is a way more affordable way to go and 4K Vudu looks 99% as good as a 4KBD to me. Even then, I am still very satisfied with HDX for a lot of movies I have in Vudu.
Well for one, you're watching pristine 4K video off of the fisher-price version of 4K blu-ray player. Hell, even the cheapest of cheap, stand alone 4K blu-ray player, will be a upgrade to what that piece of junk 4K player inside of the xbox one s can do. So, if you get yourself a half decent 4K blu-ray player, you will have a much better improvment on picture quality, and probably even better sound quality as well.
2:24 I've had this (Sony)for years now....I definitely would NOT get it again! Too many glitches and does not switch to dolby vision automatically, you have to go in the settings and switch it. Annoying
Anyone looking at 4k players, the only thing I can suggest is to stay away from the Sony UBP X800. It has serious issues playing dual layer 4k discs.

You can do the same on the Panasonic. When it's switched on in the menu, it only activates when a disc with DV is played and plays standard HDR10 if not. The Sony doesn't do this - you get forced DV on non DV discs throwing the picture out. On the Panasonic you can toggle to off for projectors and with the latest update you can opt got player lead (low latency) DV which will work on projectors or TV lead DV (full DV) - this is with the most recent firmware update. I have both the X700 and the UB820 but think that latter is far better.
The thing about the UB420 is that it doesn’t support Dolby Vision. Which to me, if I’m going to pay for a dedicated 4K player I would want all DV as an option.
@@WRNFILMhi Nice video! I have this 420 model I purchased this past March at Best Buy. Price $250. I realized about a month ago that I should have went with the 820. The 420 also does a wonderful upscale of both blu ray and dvd. I don’t have a Dolby vision supported tv, but when I will upgrade, it’ll be both the player and tv. The 420 also has an audio output but I’m using the arc through tv to surround, I’ll try the way you said and see if sound quality changes. I am very satisfied with 420 . My opinion is, if you have a large movie collection and/or will be adding more, get the 820.
If you have a Samsung TV and sticking to that brand, there's absolutely no reason getting the 820. The 420 is equal as good, only missing Dolby Vision and since Samsung refuse to implement Dolby Vision I don't see the need of it if you have one
@@WRNFILM I'm never gonna own a display that will do dolby vision because I know that what they call dolby vision isn't even really dolby vision. To have real dolby vision, you need a 12-bit panel that can do 10,000-nits. So just worry about getting TV's/monitors that have great HDR10 and you're golden.
An oversimplification of HDR formats. DV is not universally "better" than base HDR10. How beneficial DV is or isn't depends entirely on your display. On a C1 which struggles with HDR10 due to lackluster peak brightness and similarly lackluster HDR tone mapping, yes DV will deliver a visible improvement. On newer LG WOLEDs like the G4 or QD-OLEDs from Samsung or Sony, you won't see much difference at all between HDR10 and DV. DV is an aid to subpar displays, not a generally "better" format
This is because what they call dolby vision on every display ever to have it up to now isn't even really dolby vision. To do actual real dolby vision, you gotta have a 12-bit panel that has 10,000-nits or better.
You're be much better off using that money and getting a better player. All you're doing with what you said is willingly putting in a middle man for no real reason then to just have a middle man. Kinda stupid if you ask me. lol
This player 's video quality is not as sharp as the Sony x 800 m2. Everyone is always telling the same story. The only advantage of the Pana 820 is you dont have to press a key to activate the Dolby Vision.
lol How could that even be possable, if that was the case nobody ever in the history of watching physical media could or would have a good movie watching experience. I don't know if what you say is actually reliable, something about it seems off, I just can't quite put my finger on it. 🤔
