Hi all,
Sorry it's another which one do you think post. I'm looking for a 4k Blu-ray player. It will be matched with a 55" Sony A8 and a Denon X2700h.
I'm looking at the Panasonic UB450 (£179), UB820 (£299) and Sony UBPX700 (£189)
I've been leaning towards the Panasonic's.
I understand the 450 lacks the HDR optimiser, better picture processor, internal apps, onboard sound processing, general build quality of player and remote over the 820.
I won't use the internal apps, the sound will be passed by HDMI to the Denon and the build quality and remote isn't an issue for me.
So that leaves me with HDR optimiser and picture processor. I understand the picture quality is slightly better on the 820 but is it £120 better? Also any reason I should be considering the Sony instead? Especially in regards to Dolby Vision and the fact the TV's DV is player led.
So difficult not being able to go see these things in person at the moment, any help would be appreciated.
EDIT to add:
Given my TV uses player led Dolby Vision, I understand the Panny 820 has an issue with brightness & clipping with DV that is not present on the 450, this is pushing me towards the 450 but would the 820 have much better upscaling of DVD & 1080p Blu-ray?
