shocking good.

no pun intended with that title. I was going into this thinking it maybe a little too cheesy or "cringe" as everyone loves to say now and days. But it was quite entertaining. DC doing well without Snyder???...well we did have Suicide Squad. Which I'll admit is a little guilty pleasure of mine.

I found Infinity War to be a little better but that doesn't mean it was bad. Its more of a slow burn compared to IW, I did love the whole going back in time thing.

I personally loved the 2014 Godzilla. And this one ramps up the action 100x. So if you were disappointed in the fighting in the first one you won't be with this one.

Its the Goonies, what can I say. I never did get the release a few years ago because I just didn't want to pay for the boardgame that came with it, But this Steelbook is nice.

Keep your devices powered with this powerful Samsung vehicle charger. It fits any standard vehicle power outlet, and the Fast Charge technology takes your battery from empty to 50 percent in roughly 30 minutes. This compact Samsung vehicle charger has a dual port that lets you power up to two devices at once.

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

HDR Optimizer!? nice....

As the title indicates, this is where the player shines along with amazing imaging processor. You can mess with contrast, brightness, white and black tone curves to get the HDR just right on your tv. The Tone Mapping on this thing is probably better than on most tvs. But there is some serious trail and error with this.
The Bluray 1080p to 4k upscaling is awesome. I have not messed with any Apps yet except constantly going to Netflix by accident. Having said that, I will say that I do hate the big Netflix button on the remote. It sits above and very close to the tiny up button. So if you're scrolling through menus you will eventually hit that stupid button! Idk why they did that.
It does have Dolby Vision from the update a while back. The only option is to turn it on or off from the Setup menu. You can't switch it on the fly between this and HDR as far as I know by remote. From what I see, you have to stop the the movie, go into the menu and turn it off for HDR. And there is no option to adjust Dolby Vision settings like you can with SDR and HDR

ok movie, Amazing 4k

if you love 80's nostalgia then you'll love this. But it isn't just 80's though. Spielberg did his best to get anything movie and game related from the last 20 years in here too.
4k transfer is just simply gorgeous, especially when they're in Oasis. The image is cleaner than a usual Spielberg film which was shocking since he loves grain. The HDR is really really good. Nothing too overly bright that makes you close your eyes. Dolby Vision in my opinion was almost the same. Highlights might have been a little higher but I couldn't tell.

Does this player switch automatically to Dolby Vision when a movie contains that format? Or do you have manually switch to that like the Sony 700?

Yes. It does automatically play the movie in Dolby Vision if the movie supports it, as long as you have DV set to "ON" in the player setup menu. You can not switch between HDR and DV on the fly when watching a movie which stinks. DV takes priority over HDR on the player. You don't have to go into the menu to switch itto "OFF" if you're playing a non DV disc.

I am wanting to get a stand alone 4k player and saw this model and the DP-UB900, what are the main differences between this and the 900? Is it better to buy the 900 over the 820 or vice versa? Thanks in advance.

Dolby Vision. I believe thats it. Not sure if the 900 has HDR Optimizer but as far as I know its Dolby Vision. And from what I understand, Panasonic is not updating the 900 with DV

Will this player upscale both Blu-ray and regular DVD movies to 4K?

DVD's I'm not sure, I haven't tried it yet. Blu-ray's, yes it does. There's an option in Advance Settings to turn on SDR/HDR Conversion

Is the Dolby Vision on this tv only compatible with certain TV's I have a vizio p series now and am looking to Add an LG B8 or C8. Will it work with these?

it should work with the Vizio. It definitely works on the LGs

Does the version of Dolby Vision that was just released include support for Sony TV's, just as the Z9D? Thank you.

It should. It does work on my Z9F and also the Sony A9F tvs. You'll just have to go into settings from main menu and make sure DV is set to "On" when you want to use it. And Deep Color at Auto 12bit
