Sorry, 4K Blu-ray fans — Panasonic's players just got a price hike, and the best 4K player on the market got a rough deal
Panasonic has increased the price of its Blu-ray players in the US, although some retailers still have stock at the previous price
Panasonic's 4K Blu-ray players have been hit with a price hike in the United States, leading to disappointment among fans. Retailers have set new prices for various models, with the flagship DP-UB820 rising to $649. Some third-party sellers are offering the player at a lower price of $539.99, but once that stock sells out, it is expected that prices will rise again.
The price increase has been attributed to a combination of tariffs and a component shortage crisis. Despite this setback, the DP-UB820 remains the best 4K Blu-ray player on the market, offering total format support at a reasonable price point.
