Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Panasonic ub450 seems like it has what i would like.
  • Get the 450 you'll be happy with it. No need for the 820 unless you have a lot of older 1080 blu rays and DVD's you want to upscale.
  • I've got the 450 with my LG C1 and it's been rock solid, zero issues.
  • It still looks amazing especially when I hook up my Panay ub450 and take advantage of the higher bitrates . The 450 even improves contrast and colour HDR tonSDR conversion and extra detail looks amazing.
  • My suggestion is 65” LG B5 ($1000), Panasonic UB420 or 450 for player ($250).

Cons

  • The UB450 doesn't have the optimizer and advanced tone mapping and upscaling that the 820 has.
  • Unfortunately your budget is not quite enough to get into the UB450

I would get the $200 Panasonic UB450. It is probably the best of the "budget" UHD Blu-ray players:

Equipment: Epson 3800, Panasonic UB450, 120” 1.1 screen, Samsung Q990D, Firestick 4k.

The virtually universal recommendation for a Dolby Vision enabled TV would be the Panasonic UB450 or UB820.
