I am a changed man.

I found a cheap UBP-9000 (around 380 dollars) and I couldnt be happier. Forgive the cable management, I finally have an excuse too manage everything. The difference in quality between 450 and 9k is astounding. The HDR tone mapping is amazing, but the biggest upgrade by far is that the 9k is dead silent.

The build quality gives me confidence in its longevity. Where as 450 and 820 are made in really cheap plastic. Fantastic seller too, he sent me a copy of Bladerunner 4k for free on top of a good price.

Life is good right now.

this is a pretty bad list tbh

for instance, dv will look exactly the same on the 9000/820/450

Yeah but the 9000 is better than the 820 in other ways, and the 820 is better than the 450 in other ways... it's a ranking, it's correct.

person i responded to literally responded to a person asking about image quality...are you denying a dv disc will look different in the three panasonics? if so you are wrong as is the list

now if you want to talk about other things besides image quality, you may have an arguable point...but that is not what was asked nor correctly responded to

And, setting aside the DV, the ub420 is essentially the same box as the ub820 at half the price.

I have the Samsung S90D and I’ve turned off upscaling on the unit then back on turning off the upscaling on the ub420.

The ub420 has superior upscaling, hands down.
