I bought a Panasonic UB820 recently (after it turned out playing a 4k disc on xbox series x means trying to watch a movie while someone runs a vacuum cleaner under your tv - drat thing is silent while playing games, but throw a media disc in and it whooshes like mad), and I've been fairly happy with it. Do wish it booted up a little faster, and having a tray-loader with an asthmatic little motor wheezing it out makes it feel very non-premium for how much it costs, but on the other hand you put a disc in and the disc plays and what else do you need

I ended up buying a dedicated player after I upgraded from an Xbox One X to an Xbox Series X and put a 4k disc into it for the first time. That thing is preposterously noisy, just a non-stop hiss coming from the disc drive any time a 4k movie is playing, loud enough that I can hear it over dialog scenes. It was such a bummer. And now I kinda like having the two things segregated, it's very convenient being able to leave eg a TV show disc in the bluray player and be able to swap back into watching it without having to mess around swapping out game discs etc. It also makes my older discs look way nicer, the upscaling on the standalone player is really good

Vince MechMahon posted:There is something wrong with your series x disc drive and you should get it replaced because it should be noiseless. Maybe "preposterously" was over-egging it, I'm a very sensitive baby when it comes to device fan noise etc. It's a hiss from the disc spinning that I can hear from across the room that only occurs when a UHD disc is in and the movie is playing. It's not enough to obscure any audio, but it's enough that I can hear it poke through between lines of dialog and it made me sad. Blu-rays and DVDs were fine, but UHDs I guess maybe have to spin faster and there just isn't enough baffling between the drive and the fan vents. Maybe exacerbated by me keeping it horizontal, and you can literally see the bare side of the drive through the intake vent on the left hand side of the xbox. I can hear it when games are installing as well, but that's only temporary until the game is finished installing. With the movies, it hissed until I stopped playing the movie. I'd be interested in how totally silent your totally silent drive is when installing a game or playing a UHD - or if there is a noticeable increase in noise vs idle when you put a disc in for the first time.
