Panasonic DP-UB9000 review
Still a seriously capable machine for home cinema enthusiasts
Immensely detailed, sharp picture ; Excellent colour balance and sense of realism ; Solid, powerful sound
Some rivals are even more musical ; No SACD or DVD-Audio support ; Menu options can be confusing
A seriously capable machine for home cinema enthusiasts, the DP-UB9000 will help bring the best out of any 4K Blu-ray collection

Panasonic DP-UB9000 review: the best 4K Blu-ray player for cinephiles
The Panasonic DP-UB9000 is the 4K Blu-ray you need for the best picture quality possible
Unbeatable picture quality ; Battleship-like build ; Playback Info screen
Limited streaming app portal ; No Super Audio CD or DVD-A playback
The Panasonic DP-UB9000 offers stunning video and superlative build quality –this is as good as it gets when it comes to Blu-ray playback. It's the player all disc collections deserve, albeit at a high price. For an elite home cinema setup, this should...

Panasonic DP-UB9000 review: King of the Blu-ray players
With Oppo ditching Blu-ray players, the Panasonic UB9000 is the perfect high-end model. It's expensive but its picture and audio quality are flawless.
Flawless picture and sounds ; Superb 4K Ultra HD playback ; Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support ; Extensive processing features ; Well-designed remote ; Fantastic build quality
No SACD and DVD-Audio support ; Netflix app plays everything in Dolby Vision ; User interface feels dated ; It’s expensive
Panasonic’s flagship DP-UB9000 replaces the Oppo as the high-end player of choice, with a build quality, performance, and feature-set that goes a long way towards justifying its price tag.

Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra HD Blu-ray player review: Here’s one manufacturer that’s not bailing on Blu-ray
Streaming offers instant gratification, but only a high-end Blu-ray player like this can reveal just incredible your 4K TV can look.
Impeccable image quality, with a plethora of customizable settings ; Meticulous build quality ; Supports every HDR format: HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Hybrid Log Gamma ; Full-featured backlit remote control
Panasonic’s engineers forgot to support SACD and DVD-Audio ; Some listeners might judge this Panny’s out-of-the box audio playback to be overly clinical ; A grand is a lot to pay for tehnology that's on the wane
This player delivers an awesome experience right out of the box, but it’s really designed for consumers who want to customize every setting until they get the best possible results when paired with the other gear in their unique environment. And if you...

State of the Art at home
The Sound and Vision quality of this product is quite amazing, the playback on Ultra Blu Ray is startlingly good on 4K, The up scaling even from DVD is very impressive. It might be a very expensive unit, but considering the quality of build and output,...
