Had my 820 for over 5 years now with absolutely no problems whatsoever, I guess if you go on like a ford forum you'll see lots of people moaning about certain models with different faults while the thousands that have had no problems are very quiet and the same thing is true for Panasonic groups and forums
Thanks for posting this! You just convinced me to buy this player vs the 820 and save $300 bucks. Bought a Best Buy open box for $111bucks plus 2 year $15 geek squad protection to cover my behind
I have the 820 and the 450 in my av rack. I've had no problems with the 820 and I've watched a lot of physical media on it for years. The 450 i bought already chipped by a specialist third party to be all region because I'm from UK and I have DVDs and Blu-ray from America etc. It also works flawlessly too and i also like that i can play most files from hard drive on the usb connection. The big plus for me is that the 450 will play dvd/r Blu-ray/r disks which i burn on my desktop computer etc that is fantastic because the 820 doesn't play anything from usb or its disk drive and it's fully up to date on its firmware etc. Also, i can use the bigger and better 820 remote with the 450 as long as the 820 is powered off which is nice as i agree the 450 remote is lame👍
I kept my LG UBK90 around only so I can watch all my discs. I just don't see the point of buying them anymore though. Apple copies arguably look just as good, are usually cheaper, don't have to wait on shipping, release earlier. The only real downside is a lack of control, but I've never lost anything I bought directly in Apple. What will really make or break physical media in the next few years imo is if Sony and Panasonic keep making the players.
The point is you own something. If you’re streaming or purchasing from a streaming service you have access as long as you pay the endless subscription. If you stop paying you lose access. This includes movies you buy outright. Read yours T & C you only have access to your purchased library for as long as you’re paying the subscription for access.
I'm happy with my ub450 too. If someone gets a lemon, then return it for another ub450. Regarding the remote, you can do most of those functions with your TV remote if you turn on the right settings.
i have a 450 connected directly to a tv. if you set the video format to 4k. that's the first option in the picture settings it will upscale DVD and Blu-ray to 4k. blu-rays look fantastic. DVD's i have had mixed results but overall you do see an improvement.
Hi, I have the 420 as my player. When I got into 4K, it was in 2016, and the Sony TV I got has HDR10, and HLG, and Dolby Vision wasn't as widespread then. I've enjoyed the 420 without issues. The TV still delivers a good picture, and Dolby Vision isn't something I'm going to buy a new TV over when this one still works. When I get a new TV, it will probably have all the current formats automatically, as I don't buy Samsung TVs. I typically stay with Sony, or possibly LG. Edit: wanted to add this video showed up in my recommendations, so was curious about the 450.
7:00 "I just put this up here today because this arcade is so dimly lit." KA-THUNK! "Oh crap!" :) I've seen videos that demonstrate the 820 as capable of playing Blu-rays from other regions, and it's been stated all other Panasonic models can do this as well. Do you know if your 450 has that feature (either via the top menu button or the color-coded buttons)? Because if so, I'm definitely getting the 450 model.
Why won't you acknowledge some people have problems with this Blu-ray player, Mr. Perfect? What do you live in a. fantasy world. Do you have any idea how infuriating it is when you trying to get help with something and all I every is pretentious douchebags like saying, "I never had problem with it" You're a word Stupid RUclips won't let me say because they hate free speech What I am doing wrong then Mr. Perfect? You're a Stupid head!
The only reason I want 420 or 820 instead of 150/450 is because of the subtitle position and brightness settings. It doesn't matter if you don't use subtitles but big super bright subtitles on the 150/450 are super distracting to me.
Can anyone tell me why you should swap the 450 remote with the 820 remote? What is the benefit and is it just a case of putting in batteries and pointing at the 450?
I have the UB9000 and I really don't care for it upscaling a DVD to 4k. 1080 is as far as I let it go. When It comes to regular 1080p blu-ray's I don't even let it upscale that to 4k. I can't quite put my finger on it but it doesn't seem quite right when scenes have a lack of detail.
The middle of the line at one point was the ub420 same performance as the 820 without dolby vision and no preouts for a 7.1 which is no problem since i hook up to my receiver anyways. I have and love samsung tvs so no reason to get dolby vision. I believe they decided to bring out the 450 to add dolby vision to it. Im currious to see if the 420 is better than the 450. Update i doulbe checked and in my opinion ub420 is still better since it has the hdr optimizer. The 450 does not, it has only dolby vision. The hdr optimizer gives it an extra edge to the image.
@@Revolver1981 This has been my dilemma and I have about a 50/50 rate asking on reddit threads. I have a Bravia XR A80K OLED, and from what I have seen the optimizer in that is good enough to where the optimizer in the 820 wouldn't make much of a difference.
@@victormarrotti2575 It's good enough for me! As well as it holds up for at least a few years (it's sad we have to say that about today's electronics.. I have CD, cassette, and DVD players that are decades old and still work great) I'll be happy with it.
we had an 820 and it was a pile of shit. it just shit the bed in a years time. the ui and app store fucking blows slow and sluggish!!!! since we have a sony tv we bought another sony player after not having any problems with our 1100ES deck. though the upscaling on the 820 was as good as the oppo decks!!! the ui is the same on all o f the panny 4k players.

Had my 820 for 3 years never not played any disc. Even had it chipped to play any blu ray. Love it

Why is the 820 remote better? I just got a 450 and people say to get a better remote but not sure why exactly.
I heard you can buy the ub9000 remote works with them too 😮
@@DinoSpumoni213word is 450/420 sucks. Small, battery case rattles, not very ergonomic in hand over the larger remotes.

I have never had an issue on quality with any Panasonic product I've had. I still have the 61 disc player from the 90's, still working today

I have to disable the uhd setting on my vizio to get my 450 to play in HDR without triggering the vizios output banner over and over.

I went all out and got me the Panasonic UB 9000. What a great DVD player is.!👍
Does it support 3D like the 820 ?
Can anyone tell me why you should swap the 450 remote with the 820 remote? What is the benefit and is it just a case of putting in batteries and pointing at the 450?
Works excellent on my movie projector 4K blu-ray DVD or look excellent…
Can you turn off those pop-ups in the settings? Info boxes popping out of the corners of my screen when playing a disc would annoy me.
They pop ups you're seeing is the TV pop ups. Not the disc player.
@@Revolver1981 Ah, thank you!
What Pioneer Elite are you using here? Looks like mine.
@@kilroy4103 It's the LX-105

Is that a VHS player from Magnavox?
@@wendellwendellb339 Yup it's a VHS to DVD recorder. It was my late father's he took really good care of it so it's still in great shape.

I own a 420 for three years now and only on 4k discs is failing to recognize previously played discs.
If something looks good to you ,then you should be happy.
Then again if you're long some people I know,it is never good enough.

If you have any problems just factory reset the unit all problems gone.
The difference between the 820 and 450 is the Dolby Vision HDR. All of them up converts
What do you mean? The UB450 has Dolby Vision as well.
@@Revolver1981 820 have Dolby Vision . Is the one I'm looking forward to, currently own a 420 which only supports HDR 10 and 10+
@@mataiguana5he’s not talking about the 420. He mentioned the 450 which DOES have Dolby Vision, as does the 820
I can really see the difference on RUclips!😂
I’ve had my 820 since Aug 2019 and it has never had a problem ever info were to do it again though I’d probably get the 9000
