Pros & Cons
Pros
The panasonic largely does what it is supposed to, with just a few shocking unforced errors. Build quality is what you’d expect from a much cheaper product, and the remote is rudimentary. The remote control isn't amazing but it's perfectly usable to s... Read More
Good & intuitive on screen menu w/quick set-up feature. No, but it's simple to navigate if you understand what you're looking at. Ui and menus are reasonable and not too clunky.
The player is light weight but with a strong build. It auto detects dolby vision which why i chose it over the sony 820m2. The 9000 has a much more durable brushed metal exterior that certainly looks more elegant, but it also takes up a lot more space... Read More
Hdr is amazing, the ability to adjust the picture w/different customizable features & options. I like the fact that it automatically switches between dolby vision and hdr10 while others require manual selections each time. I love how well it handl... Read More
Cons
Problems with usb. The player locks up when i try to use the smart apps. Only after i installed the recommended firmware upgrade did all the problems start.
The blue-ray disc is not properly seated in the tray upon ejection. It's like the player fails to put the disc back in to the tray before ejectation. Went back to the disc menu. Ejected disc. Today - refuses to play disc’s.
Highlights
Quality
Pros:-substantial build quality and very quiet drive.
It is well made, very sturdy and the movies are processed incredibly clear
The streaming features are slow and out-dated, i would not use this for anything internet related, even though the remote has a... Read More
The remote control is a disorganized mess which the obligatory garbage stream app buttons.
Price
For general audience at 200 bucks the sony x700 is the clear choice.
Yes, the panasonic blu-ray player is on the expensive side, but it’s worth every penny because of the special processor inside.
I mean the sony is a $250 player, and this panny is like a $2000 player for less than $500.
A premium roku costs $70, just skip the apps or contact with roku.
Shipping
It arrived a day sooner than promised and in great condition.
Packaging/appearance
I was charged for a new 4k dvd player, but received an open box, scratched dvd player (see pictures).
There was none of that 'peel off' clear plastic on the shiny bits, which also tells me it has been reboxed.
Competitiveness
It's in the 4-500 price range and is better than the sony's.
This one also beats the sony in the same price point.
I have another player of a different brand which i purchased a few months ago that will freeze up while changing layers.
This means the picture of the 4k player and the branding and everything was out there for everyone to see.
