Excellent upconvert
I wanted to test how this DVD player not only worked on a 4K TV but on just a regular Insignia as well. 4K to 4K usually works great but the biggest challenge is to make any TV have a great viewing experience. This player delivered. First, you should update the Firmware. You can do this with a direct internet connection or via USB (port on front). It does have a reset feature if you ever dispose of or give away the unit. Connection is very easy via an HDMI cable supporting at least 18 Gbps (not included). You can also connect to a network via a LAN cable (not included). The only issue in setting up was that it wouldn’t allow me to back out of the voice guidance setup screen. I turned the unit off / on a few times and then it did. You can play from many formats here DVD/ULTRA HD/HDR10/HDR10+/UHD/HLG/WAV/FLAC/MP3/AAC/WMA/AIFF/ DSD/ALAC. My testing was done with Ultra HD and just standard DVD (both purchased DVDs and ones that I recorded). Plus, I played an MP3. On the 4K TV we also are connected to a high-quality sound bar. The sound was excellent with this combination, both with Ultra HD and an MP3. Picture quality was excellent with the 4K TV but what really surprised me was the quality of a 70’s TV show DVD on the Insignia TV. The DVD is normally a little fuzzy as the show (The Quest, 1976) was never re-mastered. But even with a poor DVD and a standard TV, the quality was apparent. The fuzziness was gone and the picture crisp. Vibrant color and clarity. It was truly amazing. Then I tried a few more poorer quality DVDs and the same result. This unit is highly recommended whether you have a 4K TV or just a newer standard TV.

Many Pros a few Cons
I can't believe how small and fast Blu-Ray players have gotten. It seems like I've been upgrading Blu-Ray players about every two years. When they first came out they were quite big with all sorts of features. Many included the original steaming products, offering included streaming functions before Streaming functions became common on HD TV and then 4K; although most 4K TVs had streaming functions by the time they came out. Ten plus years later, we all have streaming boxes or TV's that stream on their own. But when 4K ultra Blu-rays started to be released, HD10+ was not yet released, and Hi Res (384kHz/32-bit PCM wasnot common). But the feature I was most looking forward to was DVD to 4K upconversion. I have a lot of early TV shows from the 60's/70's that are only available on DVD's; I'm anxious to see how this Blu-Ray player does on these. I have 3 current Blu-Ray players, one was supposed to upconvert from DVD to Blu-Ray quality, It was a nominal improvement. To get started the front of the Panasonic DP-UB154P-K is about as plain as it could get, gone are the big LEDs telling you what it's doing. I'm going to hide this in a big Audio Cabinet, where it won't be seen, so the fancy display won't be missed. The on/off eject buttons are on the top right, they are small and black, hard to find; they had some LED backlighting to better find them. There is a single red LED that tells you the unit is on. Setup was an absolute breeze. I connected to my Ethernet network, checked for updates and I was ready to go. Note: this unit this not support/offer a WiFi connection. So without a Ethernet connection, advanced Blu-Ray features won't be accessible. The back of the unit has a power connection, HDMI connection and an Ethernet connection. That's it. No optical/digital output, only HDMI. The unit supports 3D output if you have a DVD/Blu-Ray that supports that. No Glasses are provided. The unit supports absolutely every Audio/Video format that exists, including FLAC, via CD/DVD or USB connection. It also supports DLNA connections, it found my NAS Server and 2 media servers with me only needing to provide user/password information where required. And it supports most Dolby Surround formats (except Atmos). In operation I started watching Wonder Woman 4K Ultra, I've watched it several times before but never on a player that supported HDR10+, HDR10. I have to say the difference is quite impressive, the things in the shadows are much more apparent, and motion is more clear. WW has a lot of very dark scenes, and visually they pop a lot better on this BluRay player than on my others. I then tried playing Lost in Space, the 3rd season (in Color!). And the quality on my 4K Sony TV was surprisingly good. I could see some color blending issues, but compared to the original which was heavily pixelated, the 4K image was remarkably good, and it surprisingly fit the screen very well (no black bars). Very good. Then on to Colombo, where I got black bars but again a much better image than I had before. Here the player really shines. It's great at upconverting. The biggest con I had was lack of digital/optical outputs. My surround setup feeds multiple independent Stereo systems, one 7.2 the other 5.1 (outside). Without optical/digital outputs I could not get both to work. With HDMI I could get one or the other but not feed the audio signal to both. I tried a HDMI splitter, but it did not do what I needed. I also with this blu-ray supported WiFi natively so that updates could be done without hooking it up to an Ethernet network. For where I plan to use this player it's not a big deal, but for a different location it would be. It is quite a nice BluRay player, especially for state of the art 4K discs and older DVDs.

Budget Level Bluray
There is still a case to be made for owning a bluray player. Not everything is available to stream and Bluray video quality still edges out 4k streaming. However the buttons on the player are not responsive and mushy. The remote does a better job of translating commands, but also is incredibly cheap feeling. The buttons on the player keep me from out right recommending it,.

Panasonic 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player
This 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player is simple and easy to use. For someone who is only interested in watching DVDs/Blu-rays and does not require Wi-Fi or extra features, this gets the job done. I have been very impressed with playback quality of 4K discs and also with the upscaling quality of old DVDs. The picture quality is crisp and clear. The remote is much smaller than the Panasonic remotes I have used in the past, but I have had no problem adjusting to it. Overall, this is not a fancy high-tech product, but if all you need is a basic player to watch movies, this is a perfect, affordable option that has surpassed my expectations.

No Wi-Fi, Why Buy???
So I recently received the Panasonic DP-UB154P 4K Blu-ray player and have been testing it for about a week now. I Yes, as a standard 4K Blu-ray player, it works just…fine. Nice shadow detail and speculation highlights but it truly lacks key features that are important to most home theater enthusiast. One of the biggest drawbacks of this player is its lack of Wi-Fi connectivity. This is crucial!!! Even though this unit doesn’t include apps or an app store, it MUST be connected to the internet in order to receive dynamic metadata information. So while I am ok with the player lacking Dolby Vision support, the need to run a 100ft Ethernet cable just to get HDR10+ has a huge hassle. In 2023, we have come so far along in the production on Blu-ray players that it can almost be categorized as a “manufacturing error” to not include Wi-Fi connection. Another issue I had with the DP-UB154P was the cheap build quality. Not that it feel like it's going to fall apart in your hands, but the matte plastic front and “tin-ish” frame just lacks a premium feel that is common with a $200+ UHD Blu-ray player. This could be a deal-breaker for some who value the look and feel of their home theater setup. It also uses a removable AC adapter that looks more is line with an $20 hand vacuum. A farcry from the typical polarized/ non-polarized cables found with more powerful players. I’ve decided to place it in my mancave, away from my more premium products as it is a fine companion for my the non-premium TV. With all my cons out of the way, there are some positives to the DP-UB154P. The player does a great job of upscaling standard Blu-ray discs to near 4K quality, which is impressive. It's also the more affordable choice for anyone looking a dedicated player when compared to Panasonic’s DP-UB9000 which retails at $1100. But make no mistake, although this is a cheaper option, this unit still has loads of player settings for all my “Menu tweakers” out there. From soundtrack options, color gamut & frame-rate options, USB options and background wallpaper selections. It can also playback 3D Blu-rays for those who still own the hard to find panel. In closing, the Panasonic DP-UB154P 4K Blu-ray player is serviceably purpose built, but it fails longtime home theater hobbies in some key areas that are important. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity and dainty build quality are both major drawbacks, and the HDR10+ feature is essentially useless without an Ethernet connection. If these factors are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a 4K Blu-ray player that better meets your needs. 2.5/5
