You've also got a bunch of streaming services built-in, in case you want to use this as your main movie-viewing platform. This is obviously very nerdy stuff, but the end result is the best color reproduction you can find for movies, basically. Panasonic’s HCX image processing works with a special chroma processor that can smartly turn the 4:2:0 color of Blu-ray into 4:4:4 before it reaches your TV. In our tests we found that this player may be more affordable, but it doesn't skimp on quality.
The Panasonic DMP-UB820 is an ideal mid-range 4K Blu-ray player, delivering pretty much every video feature you could want-including full HDR support-but without costing as much as the UB9000 a the top of our list.
