OPPO UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Player vs Panasonic DP-UB820

It offers the most features and virtually indistinguishable image quality. If you're uncomfortable about using a gaming machine as your main player then there are still some good options. While the Samsung UBD-K8500 doesn't support Dolby Vision it's the only mark against that player's name. The Samsung is faster than the Oppo, offers similar image quality, and includes many more features -- and the clincher it's available for half the price

It has all the major HDR formats that we're looking for and the ability to play 3d discs. The HDR optimizer works and I like the fact that you can tur...

You can stream from a NAS over your home network too. And in 7.1 channel analogue outputs for older receivers, 3 USB ports for playing media files and...

Took one star off because no hook up method to tv is included. I did use one on hand to test picture quality and it's great. I would definitely recommend just know you will need to purchase a hdmi cord separately.

I bought this unit to play music so my review is just for the audio part of the unit. That being said..

This was an upgrade for me, I had been using an Xbox Series X to play my 4K discs and was missing both Dolby Vision and Atmos on my LG C1 set, since that "premium console" either doesn't do it (Vision) or is very buggy at best (Atmos). After trying out some of the same discs there was a noticeable difference for me. Tried out 1917, Blade Runner 2049, and Jurassic Park. The latter didn't offer an Atmos track but still sounded fine

Cinavia's backers “claim” that their alterations to the audio signal are inaudible. But altering, (damaging) the audio quality of an officially released Blu-ray product being received by paying customers is not nice. Sadly, the unit has no analog video outputs. This is FORCED on most manufacturers by the Hollywood Cartel

I was worried it was the player because I had watched the same show before when it worked perfectly! I bought this in November of 2019 and paired it with my Hisense H9F and a Vizio sound bar. I enjoy collecting animated shows and films and enjoyed having this player. On watching Haikyuu, a volleyball anime, I noticed that when a player spiked, the sound came about a half second later. Then of course I started to realize the voices were off and it’s starting to get worse

They put a lot of effort into these. They come with a little connection box. You've got a HDMI cable in here. You've got the same remote control they'...

I've had it for just over a couple of months now. The remote is bad as it's clunky design has you accidentally going to Netflix all the time. The sound occasionally cuts out after I pause or skip around. The Alexa integration is horrible - if you jump through all the hoops to set it up, you'll then never use it

I was on the fence for a while about getting this for 4K Blu-rays when it's the Xbox One S, the Samsung, all of these can be had for the sub $250 rang...

the design is also a nice normal, sleek form factor; no nonsensical curved facets or oblique protuberances that some players feature. cons price is steep, but far less than the other devices i would count as direct competitors. This could be counted as a pro i suppose also in that sense, but would still like to see the general market price reduced in this area. the remote is fairly large and features many buttons that are perhaps unnecessary in 2019 (i've not used the number pad on a remote for about 10 years)

Oh, and oppo also includes an actual complete PAPER owners manual. Shocking. Bottom line? When you combine the features, unparalleled picture and sound, ease of use, and build quality, the price of admission is so worth it. Think of the UDP-203 as an investment

I have the Panasonic DP-UB820-K outputting into a Denon AVR X4300H which outputs to a 7.1 speaker setup. My perception of the sound is that the center channel vocals are clearer, as is the surround sound. I don't have the ATMOS speakers installed yet, but the flyover scene in Battleship made me look up for the first time, and I've watched that movie more times than I care to admit
