Best 4K Blu Ray Player you can buy

If you want the best possible picture from 1080p or 4K Ultra Blu Ray discs then this is the player to get. I own the Oppo 103 1080p player and the Sony UBP-X800 4K player and I can tell you this Panasonic is much better than either and they are excellent players. This Player upscales 1080p discs to 4K so good that you cannot tell it's not true 4K ... Honestly! As far as 4K discs are concerned I was skeptical that it'd be noticeably better than the Sony but boy I was wrong ... This Panny is much, much, sharper than the Sony and the colors are much better as well. I can see more shadow and color detail and the picture is nearly 3D. If you've invested in a 4K Ultra HD HDR capable TV then you owe it to yourself to feed it the best possible Blu Ray signal you can and that would be from this player! I know some out there will point to the Oppo 203 4K player and I don't have one to compare, but the professional reviewers have already done that and most agree the Panasoic is the better of the two from a sheer picture quality standpoint. The Oppo is more flexible and has HDMI inputs, but if you don't need any of the additional features it offers the Panny is better. Also, Don't worry about the color space issues other people have brought up, Panasonic has a firmware upgrade that will allow you to force 10 bit if your TV can't handle 12 bit. Also if you want to send 4:4:4 but are concerned about the 8 bit, which is what the manual says is output, the firmware update fixes the color space output limits and set on Auto it will output the best choice for you TV. I set the color space to Auto on the Panasonic and it sends 4:4:4 12 bit to my Samsung MU8000 TV which has a 10 bit panel. The color is incredible with no banding issues at all. So if you have a 10 bit panel in your TV it probably will handle the 12 bit signal without any color banding issues but if it does show some color banding or distortion you can now set the limit to 10 bit in the Panasonic. If you want the 4K player with the best possible picture available then this is it, period.

![Star Trek - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/97c4e73a-b4cf-4e9b-9564-081504a90eb8.jpg)
The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

No better than standard Blu ray

Don't waste your money buying the 4K version ... There is more grain in the picture for some reason and the sharpness is no better than the 1080p up converted. I have the Panasonic DMP-UB900 4K player and compared the 1080 vs the 4K and there's no perceptive difference in the picture other than the 4K version has, as I mentioned above, a little more 'noise'. If you already own the 1080 Blu Ray then save your money. If you've seen Dunkirk, The Martian, or Passengers in 4K you'll be disappointed in Star Trek on 4K because it's not even close. Don't get me wrong, it's not awful and if you don't own Star Trek already you'll get both versions here but I would just get the standard Blu Ray and save some money.
