Happy to report that Panasonic will be launching Worldwide (USA included) the highly anticipated UB820 and UB9000 UHD/HDR BD players.
For USA folks we'll begin to see the UB820 sometime in July and the UB9000 by October, 2018 or hopefully sooner. The EU and some Asian countries might be slightly earlier.
Now for the first time, users can adjust the tone mapping to your specific displays luminance capacity for the ultimate control of the entire tonal range for all HDR formats and content. This includes streaming content through the built-in Smart apps for those with projectors, monitors or anyone who wants to have control of the luminance tone mapping and "Hollywood Cinema Experience", HCX video processing. Panasonic created and mastered HCX video processing over the years with Panasonic's Hollywood Laboratory.
The UB9000 adds the best possible audio experiences with dedicated DACs and 7.1 analog audio outputs as well as support for all Hi-Res audio formats.
We built dedicated pages for the UB820 and UB9000 with more technical specs and general information. |
Any word on if Panasonic improved the 480i DVD upconversion/deinterlacing of the UB900? That seemed to be its primary weak point. Granted this is a UHD player but still have quite a few DVDs...
I have a feeling once people see the HDR optimizer of these players in action they are going to have a tough time going back to any other 4k players.
