Panasonic 4K Blu Ray Player, Ultra HD Premium Video Playback and Hi-Res Audio - DP-UB150-K (Black)

We bought this unit because it does not require wifi access. We've had it for several months and it's doing exactly what any Blu-ray player should do: it plays the films without issues and doesn't send our data back to the manufacturer! Amazing.

Purchased this 4K UHD player to replace my older Sony Blu Ray player which was in my bedroom which broke a few days ago. A disc got stuck in the player and it would not eject from the player no matter what I tried. Anyway, it was time for an upgrade to 4K. This player is nice. It’s pretty bare bones and doesn’t have some of the bells & whistles more pricey players have such as Dolby Vision support, Built in WiFi and more than 1 HDMI output. However, it still gets the job done. The picture is crisp/sharp and the HDR brings out the colors & Blacks nicely. Blu Ray’s and DVD’s play great as well. If you want to start collecting 4K UHD Blu Ray movies and don’t want to pay a small fortune for a more expensive player then this is the player for you. Like other reviewers are stating , the only thing I wish was better is the remote. It’s really small and It’s not backlit and the function buttons are really small making it hard to see what you’re selecting. Until you get used to where the buttons are situated you will definitely need some light to see what you’re selecting. But for the price point this is a small problem. As far as longevity is concerned, that remains to be seen? I have another Panasonic 4K player in my home theater for about a year now and it’s been problem free so far. Hopefully this player is the same?

First off, I liked the price. It was the least expensive, and fairly well-reviewed 4K player I found.It wasn't too difficult to use out of the box. Just plug it in, connect your HDMI cables to the 4K UHD television, and enjoy!Or not.If you're an older customer, like me, you may have trouble hearing the dialogue over the music. With my older Samsung Blu-ray player (And not 4K, hence the upgrade), the dialogue was easy to hear. But for some reason the music and background sounds are louder than dialogue with the new player.I tried hunting around in the menu screen, and the owner's manual you have to hunt for online and download it. It was just simpler to turn on the subtitles on all of my movies and watch them that way.The most annoying quirk, however, came when I purchased "Demon Slayer" Season 2 on Blu-ray this week and tried playing it on this player.The disc won't play. A screen comes up that informs you that this disc is intended for the US, Canadian and Mexican market, and will not play in your country. (!!!) I checked the back of the player, and it has Blu-Ray Region A stamped on the back, and DVD region 1, so it should work.For testing purposes, I popped in a different Blu-ray, 'The Evil of Frankenstein', and it played fine. I popped in a 4K of "The Eternals", I tried the old-fashioned DVD of "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein" and that played too. I tried an earlier season of "DemonSlayer", and got the same warning message, and no playing. I tried "Attack on Titan" Blu-ray, and that played fine. And 'AoT' is put out by the same company, so I'm at a loss to understand why this quirk is happening to only my "Demon Slayer" Blu-rays.So, buyer beware. It's a good player, and a good price. But it comes with quirks, and can be difficult to scope them out. And it just doesn't like to play certain movies, apparently.

This 4K UHD player was exactly what I was looking for. I have a modest Blu Ray / UHD collection of my favorite movies / shows with high replay value, and where streaming just doesnt cut it (either b/c of quality or it just isnt readily available - think Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, John Wick, Interstellar, etc).My home theater setup - even more modest. A budget 4K 65" TCL TV with built-in sound bar. At my level / budget, it just doesn't make sense to buy one of the fancier players that range anywhere from $250-$1000 that have more bells and whistles.Is this player perfect? Far from it. The UI looks like it is from the mid-00s, the remote is small (yet functional enough), the player itself does have a light/flimsy feel to it, and the lack of HDMI cable is a minor inconvenience but enough to make you say, "really?". BUT! The picture and audio this baby produces is GREAT!!! Even in my setup and use case, the difference is truly night and day from what my old Blu Ray player or Xbox could produce. It feels like Panasonic cut every corner imaginable with these players EXCEPT with how it actually plays, and that's really all I needed at the end of the day.I cant say Im super confident this player will last as long as other products of the past from Panasonic, but that seems to be the case everywhere today in consumer electronics, and particularly with these 4K players (even from other brands and higher quality models). So for what it is, I'm very pleased with this purchase! If you're looking for a player that can do 4k UHD, Blu Ray, DVDs, and CDs, look no further!
