4K Players Advice

Mods: Apologies if this is already a thread elsewhere - please feel free to merge. Thanks in advance.
So AVP family. I'm in the hunt for a new 4K BluRay player.
I've got my eye on two: Panasonic UB820 & the Panasonic UB9000 (big price difference between the two).
So I'd love any advice or direction in regards to these two models or your other suggestions please.

If you're planning on only using hdmi and wanna save money then go with the UB820

Thanks mate. Do you own one?

[Gr33n M4n]

Oh No. I've only been reading around on them. From reviews and such, the UB820 seems to be worth every penny. The other one looks like it's built like a tank. I'm a cheap ass so if it were up to me i'd get the UB820.

Region lock, or the lack of, is also something to consider, but I didn't check to see if those players differ from one another in that regard.

[Gr33n M4n]

The UB9000 has an Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi, and more output ports.

[Prez]

Thanks both for your input so far.
Been told the UB9000 has a proper metal chassis so far better longer term build.

I'm eyeing this one: Sony UBP-X700.

I have followed that model for a while - almost bought it too but a bit of recent negative feedback about software issues (crashes a lot especially since the last firmware update).

Any time, any where.

I know this might be bumping, and be very contradictorily. But on the off-chance if you're also into gaming. Why not buy a Gaming Console that can do 4K + Playv the Latest Games.

I primarily use my PS4 to play movies, since i love physical media (Well now PS5) To play 4K Movies. So i never felt the need to have a 4K Player.

Did consider this but I'm not much a gamer these days.
My brother ended up getting a great deal on the Panasonic DP-UB820 and he says it's amazing. It's the one I've been eyeing off but right now all our funds are diverted to our major renovations to the house (also known as the money pit).

I did end up getting that one, specifically this region-free version.
