UHD-K8500 is definitely worth it!

This uhd player being the first to market has packed a punch. The k8500 overall is wonderful, from the feature set to the image quality it produces. The dual hdmi outputs make it a breeze to hook up however you need to. The player itself is very speedy. The only downfall i have with the player is that there is no display to see the time on the unit at all. Overall this is strongly recommended to anyone looking for a uhd player!
Pros: Realistic color, fast and easy to use
Cons: no display on the unit itself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally, UHD 4K has arrived

I've been waiting for years for this Blu-Ray player to hit the market so that I could fully exercise my 4K projector. Watched Martian UHD version and it was spectacular! Watched a Blu-Ray and the Mrs. immediately noticed the upscaling. Love the dual HDMI ports on the back of this unit, should I ever need to pump out audio separately. (This is Samsungat its finest - helping out those that may not have the right configuration to handle HDCP 2.2.).
I can do without the curvature and the unit can be a heck of a lot smaller, but it's still fantastic. Just hoping that it doesn't start to fault like my previous Sammy did after 18 months.
Pros: true uhd 4k, simple samsung setup lenus, plug and play
Cons: Too big, curvature probably adding to the bulkiness of unit
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product and functionality

The 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray player is a great product. If you have the 4K TV already, you should complete the package and get this player. It made a wonderful difference in watching our movies,. The first thing that I noticed was that the Disc menu would come up quicker than our old player and 10 times faster than our 400 disc players. That is a real plus. The picture quality is as expected. Like the TV, the picture is fantastic. The colors are amazing and the clarity and details are excellent. I am very happy with this player. The only two items I gave 4 stars to was the design and the price. It is a little pricey, but then so are the other competitors out there. By comparison, this player is a bargain. Also, I did not think the curve on this unit was necessary. There is no function for the curve other than to match the TV, so I believe it is superfluous. Other than that, this player is excellent, and I recommend it.
Pros: great features, fast disc loads, easy to set up and use
Cons: price, design
I would recommend this to a friend!

First Samsung 4K Blu-ray player has great picture

I've only watched Revenant and Ender's Game (because there are so few 4K titles available), but even ordinary DVDs and Blu-rays look better on Samsung's 4K Blu-ray player. I'm watching it on the 2015 model Samsung 78" curved screen S-UHD, which is also unbelievable. Every time I turn it on I think: 'This is incredible. How could I ever want a better picture?"
Pros: Realistic color, nice set of built-in apps.
Cons: a bit expensive
