Panasonic DMP-UB900

The UB900 is essentially the posh half of Ultra HD Blu-ray's UK launch. Ultra HD Blu-ray, for those new to all this, is the next-generation of Blu-ray that supports 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR) – a new standard for colour and picture brightness and...

Panasonic DMP-UB900 review

Digital cinema finally comes home

Breathtaking picture quality ; 4K Netflix and Amazon on board ; First-class audio CD playback

Hard to justify if you don't have an HDR TV ; Some elements of the UI look clunky ; Chassis is a fingerprint magnet

Supreme with 4K HDR Blu-ray discs but also a cracking all-round media player, Panasonic's DMP-UB900 is a must-have for AV enthusiasts.

Panasonic DMP-UB900 review: an Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray player like no other

It's feature packed and has a premium build, but does the 4K viewing experience justify its monstrous price?

Best-in-class picture quality ; Premium build

Dated menu system and remote ; Monstrous price

Panasonic DMP-UB900 review

Watch out, Netflix. This 4K Blu-ray player could be the future of home cinema.

Remarkable clarity and contrast ; Backlit remote ; Plenty of connections

It’s not exactly cheap

Five stars. Movies at home have never looked this good.

Panasonic DMP-UB900 Ultra HD Blu-ray player review: A great choice for audiophiles and home theater buffs

This is the only Blu-ray player we've seen that can also play DSD audio files, but don't pay the premium price unless you can take full advantage of its advanced features.

Excellent playback of commecial UHD Blu-ray discs ; Can decode 2.8- and 5.6MHz DSD audio files ; Stereo and 7.1-channel analog audio outputs

Supports fewer media file formats than the competition ; Overpopulated remote ; Price tag limits its appeal (unless you're an audiophile or home theater buff)
