In DV is to dark. With HDR is better but I see on you tube. How is on live when you play in game mode ? Bright is it ok ?

Why does my C2 look worse in HDR mode with dull colors and a light grayish filter?

New Subcriber here Yea imma try that warm 50 yea on my screen it was looking too yellow I kept mine at 0 cause it was way to yellow

Thanks for the video, my C4 arrives next week. Cheers and Happy New Years!!!

Informative video

Nice easy setup, what av receiver do you have?

Perfectly explained. Thank you very much. !!!!

Great review. I’ve never seen the Terrifier. I’ll have to check it out . 👍👍

Great movie , I found the soundtrack in this movie overpowered the voice audio in alot of scenes.

Looks like a real nice set - I haven't picked up any of these films yet - tempted to get the Umbrella Trilogy pack from Austrailia.

This one passed me by somehow - have ordered it since seeing this video!

Thats a real nice book - other than the disc pockets! I'd be encouraged to pick up these kind of sets if they continued to release more titles in the same packaging, but unfortunately they only ever release a few and then change it up. I thought the Film Vault sets would be a good ongoing collection, but they seem to have given up on those now, so I now have 6 oversized boxes on the shelf which look out of place.

I picked up the standard edition in a 2 for £30 recently - glad I didnt bother with this collectors set - would have expected at least different artwork or something else to differentiate the 2.

I bought this alongside the standard release - have kept it sealed in the box, so good to see whats inside!🙂

A silly comparison as of course a dedicated player will beat a game console at Playing 4k Bluray. You were acting like the series X doesn”t have Dolby Vision when it does. In any case the picture quality of the Panasonic doesn”t look different enough compared to my Oppo 203 player from years ago so not worth the upgrade from that. The Oppo is bulletproof pretty much. Shame they don’t make them anymore.

Hi,do these settings also apply to lg oled g4?

OMG at 8.40 what did you expect? Get xbox for games , get a 450 for 4k movies/ blu-rays !!!

What is the point of comparing a Panasonic ub 450 ek to an Xbox, as the 4k Panasonic has features on it the xbox just does not have !!!!

Cool edition. Great film 👍

Great unboxing. New subscriber here. I love this film and already had the original 4k release but couldnt resist picking this version up. A bit awkward to fit on the shelf but cool all the same. Lol

some of the options i cant select i have a c4. how can he click all the option but i can only click on some in the settings

I'm unable to select the color gamut. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Just a quick tip with regards the ease of use on Xbox. If you enable hdmi cec then you can actually use the tv remote to control the xbox which makes things a lot easier when watching films on it

Nice player , I’ve just picked up a New Pioneer UDP-LX800

Full metal jacket is like only half good tbh the trianing portion of that movie is great after that its kinda bad

Is it correct that the blu-ray in the ps5 is superior to the Series X or is it down to the App running on the consoles? Can the two consoles play the same maximum capacity bleu-rays?

Best tip: Don't use Xbox systems for 4K discs.

My biggest problem with the Xbox is that it doesn't support DolbyVision with discs, but only with streaming and games.

At default settings, the ub450 is equal to the ub820, and both offer significantly better quality than the Xbox. With 2K discs the difference is even wider as the ub450 DOES use Panasonic’s renowned upscaling technology. Of course audio is superior on the Panasonic players too. Unless you need the HDR optimiser (you don’t as you have a C4) or like to manually play with custom sliders, you’ll be fine with the 450. The remote is a bit rubbish but you can swap that out. BTW, through a lot of testing, turn the DTM to off on the LG (off isn’t actually off, that would be HGIG)

The xbox one s has the same noisy uhd player, on the other hand the Ps5 is super quiet.

I'm a physical media collector and I have enjoyed my movies on a LG C2 OLED paired with an LG UBK90. The only disc that crashed my player was The Abyss 4K. I also own a Series X but I use it just for gaming. I've just ordered this Panasonic player because LG no longer supports UBK90 and Panasonic just released a new firmware for this player in December 2024. In the long run this will make a difference.

(Subscribed) My thoughts: I’m watching this on a 77” OLED and the Xbox looks sharper in all the stills. Just focus on the same spot and it’s not debatable. It may be the result of the capture method. I can definitely see the ease of use argument but that’s why you always get a media remote. Still, the 450 is probably faster than the X. If you’re a gamer, get a PS5 or an Xbox; the differences between HDR technologies are negligible and you’ll end up adjusting the image anyway. Plus, the X supports DV streaming. If you’re not a gamer but are looking into this, you’re getting the 820 anyway. So I’m not sure who the 450 is for. You’re going to pair your DV capable OLED and amazing AVR with a $175 player? I don’t think so. And if this is your backup player (bedroom, etc.) DV wouldn’t matter. So, again, who’s the 450 for? Someone on a budget with a 4K disc collection and a fan of HDR? By definition, you wouldn’t be on a budget, right?

Whats the bit depth setting on xbox set to ?

Cool review, I have a Panasonic UB820 it plays pretty well, although I have a PS5 I do prefer playing movies/shows on a dedicated blu ray player.

Hello, bizzarely my Xbox doesn't make noise when playing BR 4k and i have also a Panasonic ub820: no difference between them...the Xbox make the same job...on my sony w5000 laser 4k projector.

It's worth noting that the Xbox Series X fails the "blacker than black" test in HDR from the Spears&Munsil 4K disc calibration. So, no deep blacks in HDR. However, it doesn't have this issue with SDR content.

Nice review , I use ps5 when not using my dedicated player in home cinema 👌👌👌

I got my C4 yesterday can’t wait to tinker with everything and dial it perfectly thanks for sharing this video

Great player. Have 2 of them.

I'm in the same boat, looking for a UHD player, due to how bad the noise is on the Xbox plus the quality isn't that great.

btw the optical drive is much quieter when the console is horizontal, it shouldnt be loud to begin with one though, just audible

If you are serious about movies on disc then a dedicated player is definitely the way to go in my experience. Consoles offer disc playback as a bonus but they cannot compare to a good quality standalone player in terms of features and overall usability. The consoles consume more power, they have to support both games and movies (so that means you have to manually switch between Filmmaker Mode and Game mode), the consoles are noisy when playing discs and, of course, neither the PS5 or Xbox Series support Dolby Vision for movies (even though the latter support it for games). The Xbox Series X is worse than the PS5 in my experience as it uses a BD app that has to load before the disc can play whereas they play straight from the dashboard on the PS5. The Xbox Series X BD app is also more prone to crashing, as seen in this video, but then it is by the makers of Windows so that is hardly a surprise! I only have my PS5 (now Pro) or Xbox Series X as a fallback player, if say a disc doesn't play on my main player (which hasn't happened yet!), otherwise I always watch discs on my Panasonic UB-820 which plays every disc I own without issue and is ultra quiet. I have tested both consoles with disc during the launch phase though. They're fine but a standalone player is just much better and can be set to its own HDMI input to permanently use Filmmaker Mode. The UB450 is just a slightly cutdown model missing the HDR enhancer and some audio inputs on the back as well as having slightly inferior image processing but is otherwise a great player from the reviews I've watched.

Nice down to earth review, good job!

If you're trying to prove a point, then at least upgrade your audio and visual gear needed to upload your videos because I can't hear ANY sound from the Xbox X like you claim it is

Nice video Ryan . I started off using PS5 with 4K movies . It worked really well . It plays movies that stuck on my Panasonic.

Good

Nice😊

Have you done settings for G4 yet, because explained very well ?

I found the discs a bit of a fiddle too, would've been better if it came with holders. Regardless, great unboxing mate

Got the ESC edition coming January, really looking forward to this film. Sounds good from your review
