Pros & Cons
Pros
The only other units close in quality to this panasonic are the mcintosh mvp 901 at $6000 and the reavon 100 and 200 at about $800 and $1700 each. The only problem is availability - one source, the us distributor right now and who knows about parts do... Read More
If you are a home theater enthusiast, the *-ub9000 is worth considering. It will best showcase a high-end audio/visual setup.
This player is likely the best choice for oled and projectors. It will then optimize the picture based on your display type. The only thing i can think of is that perhaps the lens reader is just super sensitive.
Keep the unit ventilated. The unit has a cooling fan that is not to noisy.
Hdmi arc is the only thing connected directly to my tv (a 77 lg g2 oled) all of the hdmi cables i use are high speed 48gbps certified. All of my equipment (the panasonic ub9000, denon x3700h, lg g 2 77) are compatible with 4k hdr including dolby visio... Read More

Highlights
Quality
Words on the screen are very clear and sound quality is amazing.
Solid weighty construction and focused toward someone with component level surround systems or similar.
One of them stopped working correctly after about 4 months.
My movies/shows now have better image quality and sound.
Price

So, while the machine does put out a beautiful picture, it's very annoying that after paying a premium for the machines, we had... Read More
Very expensive, but it does a unbelievably good job.
Don't pay more for what you don't need.
Shipping
We had to ship it to their service center in florida (we live in the pacific nw).
Packaging/appearance
It makes dvd's look really good, and for a uhd bluray (the lord of the rings) the picture was shockingly like how i remembered ... Read More
Competitiveness
Reviewers said it is the best, and we like it even more than we like our dp-ub820, which is also excellent.
Oppo went out of the player business so this was the closest one i could afford that had similar plus newer features.
Admittedly, at this price point you can get a lesser brand renditioned player from a secondary retailer that will play all regions.
I have a sony x800 and it continuously freezes and i have heard the same issues with the panasonic 820ub.
