Vizio V Series V21-H8 vs Panasonic DP-UB820

It's the model number v821-h8 and it was at a pretty nice deal actually 159.99, not necessarily a steal of a deal based upon what costco can often giv...

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

The Roku Smart Soundbar seemed like the perfect solution. I used it for a few weeks and ended up returning it. Here is what I experienced:

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

5mm analog input and another, all-new 3.5mm connection for your "voice assistant speaker" (read: Amazon Echo Dot). Ty Pendlebury/CNETThe idea behind the "VA" (voice activated) input is noble enough. You connect your smart speaker to this port and the soundbar switches to the input automatically when it hears a command

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

I have v21 h8 and it is been very difficult to set up. Assistant can link via Bluetooth but then you cannot have other devices link to the soundbar. There is voice assistant aux in but sadly no ga gh product has 3.5 mm jack

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.

After extensive research for soundbar/subwoofer ordered a Vizio. Pre-read quick guide prior to arrival. Got all & was baffled at remote being impossible to open, so after googling & still couldn’t open, called Vizio. Connection to wherever the call goes to was hardly audible, finally Rep suggested I use a small coin to pry the remote open, which I gently did, and the the ENTIRE remote fell apart with pieces flying everywhere, and her suggestion was then for me to just not use the remote

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

Wireless subwoofer that looks top of the line, looks modern and small. You can place it anywhere in that room as well. Has the better options than the...

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...
