Trent_Nathan 1 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I've been looking into getting a Panasonic UB-820 for all my 4K disc needs but my wife doesn't really like the idea of having it as well as a PS5 when the PS5 can also play 4K discs. I know the Pana is Dolby Vision compatible, has better upscaling, better tone mapping/HDR optimiser etc but I need some more points to try and convince her. Link to post Share on other sites
lenticularis 526 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 1. Trade deal: Offer her something she wants, in turn for getting the UB-820? 2. Discuss buying the UB-820 and then do an A-B demo. If your wife isn't convinced, agree in advance that you'll on-sell the UB-820? 3. It's easier to seek forgiveness than permission (has worked for me a couple of times...I think). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We have a dedicated room with complete blackout treatment that is able to block out all light even during the day which helps to show off the TVs black level handling too 1 Link to post Share on other sites

delphi17 78 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Find something much more expensive you would also like to buy. And then get the rejection. Wait few days, and ask for the 820... it's all about working the angle and context. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

But the 820 might get close to what's needed. 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mobe1969 272 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 You have a ps5 already? Or do you have first-hand reviews of the UHD capabilities? To me I'm waiting to hear what it has feature wise. Even the Dolby Vision is speculation based on their games not having it. But it'd be more surprising if it doesn't for media.
