Panasonic DMP-UB900 4K player - Dashboard is proud to shows-off its High Performance data rate

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018

This top-of-the-line 4K Panasonic player has a lot of built in conveniences for accessing internet video and testing performance, and frankly the developers liked showing-off its performance: What is most amazing is, while watching a 4K video to the projector, you can monitor the actual data rate that is being output from the Panasonic to the 4K projector. During stable scenes, the data rate over the HDMI cable drops below 10 Gbps. A sudden scene-change may jump up to about 25 Gbps and a high action sequence easily jumps up to 35 to 80 Gbps - therefore the "highest quality" HDMI cable is definitely required. See the attached photo screen shot of the data-rate.
Advice: Many 4K Bluray movies are rendered poorly at only High-def quality. This should be illegal! You can hardly see strands of hair on peoples heads. However, the Planet-Earth nature 4K version is pretty good which I played for the data-screen screen shot. Where-as with the Ultra 4K NETFLIX video which is shot originally in 4K of David Letterman interviewing Barack Obama, it is SO CLEAR, you find yourself looking at the fuzz on their ears! THE DETAIL IS THAT CLEAR!

Great 4K Player--But Pricey!

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2016

If you're looking for a state-of-the-art 4K/Blu-ray player, look no farther than the Panasonic DMP-UB900.

This player has it all--a great picture, a full complement of outputs, a full size remote and an easy set up menu. Other 4K players only have 2 HDMI ports (one for audio only) and an ethernet connection. That's it. But this Panasonic can handle it all. You get an Coax/Digital audio out as well as an optical out.

I am using this player with an Epson Pro Cinema 6040 projector and have had problems with other makes. The Samsung could not connect the video and the Philips could not output digital audio--only surround.

My only negative with this player is its price. In the U.S. the current retail price is $699.99, about $400 more than either the Samsung or Philips player. Sure, I don't mind paying a premium for a solid player, but $400 more is a lot to ask.

With the Panasonic I have great picture and sound. What else would you expect from Panasonic.

Of course, you can spend more. Maybe another 5% of perfection for $1000 more. But, who are we kidding? We're just humans. What more do we need? I love my Panasonic player and am wowed enough by the images and sound rendered.

Buyer Beware!

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016

Panasonic just announced that this player will be released in the US in September for $700. I don't know about you, but waiting 2 months to save $1,000 sounds like a good idea to me.

Horrible!

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018

This is THE WORST Blu Ray player I have ever owned. Point your remote at the player to open the drawer. Nothing happens. Press the button 8 times, THEN it opens the drawer. Yes, we've changed the batteries. That is another issue. The batteries in the remote do NOT last long at all! It's slow, cumbersome, and just so frustrating. Paid a lot of money for it too.

Excellent 4K player.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016

I bought this player the first week in September from Best Buy for $699. While $699 is expensive for a Blu-ray 4K player, it is $1000 less than currently on Amazon. Plus the four 1-star reviews shown here are useless, since they appear to be written by people who don't own this player. Before I bought the player, I searched the internet and read several professional reviews. These reviews consistently gave this player very high ratings. For those that may not be aware, this Panasonic player was introduced to Europe early this year and was made available to the US market in September for $699. So the player has been in use for several months. Also, for those that may not be aware, there are dozens of Blu-Ray players available that say they are 4K compatible, however these players will only upscale to 4K, but will not play a disc with native 4K material. I have one of those players that is now used with our bedroom TV.
As for my experience with the Panasonic DMP-UB-900Kplayer, so far everything has been positive. It is solidly built, easy to set up, and has given crystal clear videos whether using 4K, 3D, 1080P, or standard definition DVD source material. It is easily the best player I have ever owned and used, Even though it is expensive, I highly recommend this player to those who want the very best for their big screen 4K TVs.
