This isn’t the cheapest we’ve seen the player, as it’s been down to $149 before, but this is still a big saving.
Amazon Prime Day has brought a lot of great discounts, but to see a 4K Blu-ray player discount is rare. This is a perfect budget player for getting into the (addictive) world of 4K Blu-ray.
Amazon Prime Day deal: Panasonic DP-UB154
The Panasonic DP-UB154 earned four stars in my review. I found it offered “brilliant HDR pictures” and “effective upscaling of lower-resolution sources”. Its picture reproduction resulted in bold, vibrant, and detailed pictures and did a good job at maintaining film grain in older movies, something cinephiles will appreciate.
Features-wise, the UB154 doesn’t have the same list as some of the best 4K Blu-ray players. There’s no support for Dolby Vision, but there is HDR10+ and HDR10 support, the latter of which should cover you for most discs. There is also Dolby Atmos, hi-res audio, and CD playback.
For a budget player, the UB154 is a perfect gateway into the world of 4K Blu-ray: just don’t blame me if you end up with a shelf full of 4K discs!
