dannyhgt Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 for me is using separate FHD player to play regular BDs lah... UHD is like modern "mini laserdisc" where no region coding is a major concern. However, different individuals hv different "ideological" setups. Some goes separate gears for different purpose, some looks for minimalistic setups. Same here. I have many FHD musicals and concerts which I won't double dip to get UHD. Has anyone got a set from US?

I'm on the verge of placing an order from US. At this moment, Panasonic Singapore has not announcement on the UB-820 availability.
Vinylfan Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 How does this compare with Panasonic 9000? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
desray Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Bro Doggie, any "more" comments you like to make after using the UB820? especially the HDR Optimizer feature. Good, great?
desray Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 New firmware available. Finally hitting the Info panel button twice can bring up the metadata details on the media disc itself (previously only available in UB-9000) https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/bd/download/ub420/ub420_us.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been using it at work with a Benq W1700. Gonna test it with the W2700 and W5700 next. Definitely a lot of pop with the Benq W1700

Doggie Howser Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 The main issue is that when I watch Netflix or Amazon Prime on the AppleTV, can’t use the HDR Optimizer. Maybe I’ll try the Panasonic app. But they were pretty dismal before. I have been watching more of Amazon and Netflix.

Maybe I’ll try the Panasonic app. But they were pretty dismal before. I have been watching more of Amazon and Netflix. Yes, both Youtube and the Netflix app will utilize the HDR Optimiser but I agreed with you that the built in apps is pretty dismal. I probably won't use it as well. LoL...Panasonic is like Pioneer, they don't really care about their user interface and their apps. If that is the case, they should be like Oppo - stick to what it does best - video and music...nothing else.
Doggie Howser Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 Is the Dolby Vision big still present on the built in apps?

Wah, thanks for this bro. Do u know if they ship to SG?
YANG Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 According to their eBay page... when u click onto the shipping details, it will display according to your browser location the shipping quotes. That's why i did the calculation and comes out to total of SGD$725 after factoring the x-rates. If u have the SCICARO2 UHD disk and u want other titles, click the "seller's other item" @ the right side of the page, they have other bundles available. https://www.ebay.com.sg/sch/TV-Video-Home-Audio/32852/m.html?item=292843131944&hash=item442ecf9428%3Ag%3A%7E%7EIAAOSwTxhcAp33&LH_BIN=1&_ssn=tps1996&_sop=2 If you opt for the plain player only, cheaper, but note that the model is not region hacked for DVD play. https://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Panasonic-DP-UB820EBK-Native-4K-UHD-Player-1m-SlimHDMI-Premium-Certified-Cable/113319459902?hash=item1a625dbc3e:g:N2QAAOSwvv1byfNz
