This high-end Ultra HD Blu-ray player will make the most of your 4K TV, whether or not your TV is capable of supporting all the latest HDR formats. It’s a damn fine audio device, too.
At $999, the PANASONIC DP-UB9000 isn’t cheap but it is by far the best Ultra HD Blu-ray player available today. For that reason, it’s worth every penny (the best is never cheap).
There are definitely a lot of Blu ray players that support Dolby formats, are a lot more affordable than the UB9000 and have the basic function of Blu Ray disc playback. The UB9000 however represents the epitome of Ultra HD Blu Ray playback, so if you want to experience the best in home entertainment, don’t be afraid to go for it.
If you're in the market for an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc player that can do everything you want, and plenty of things you didn't know you wanted, Panasonic's flagship model leaves little on the table.
Beautifully built and capable of gorgeous, cinematic UHD images, the DP-UB9000 is the 4K Blu-ray player enthusiasts have been waiting for - and it doesn’t disappoint.
The Panasonic DP-UB9000 offers stunning video and superlative build quality –this is as good as it gets when it comes to Blu-ray playback. It's the player all disc collections deserve, albeit at a high price. For an elite home cinema setup, this should be your choice.

Panasonic, more than any other manufacturer, seems to understand the plight 4K projector owners face moving into a world dominated by HDR.
