Excellent BD Player

I own a previous Samsung 4k Upscale player and this one blows it away. Even regular BD movies looks amazing. HDR 4K movies are just breath taking.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight

I couldn't be happier overall with my purchase of this UHD Blu-Ray player. Unfortunately my first unit had an internal fan fault that required an exchange, so my first night wasn't great, but a quick jaunt to the store the next day fixed that. Which is why I fault it in the design area. While digging through what information was available, it seemed like a common issue that was likely to rear up at some point through the life of the unit. Especially if you live in a dusty environment.
Overall though, it's a fully featured (and then some) bit of kit that does not leave you wanting. Easy enough for the layman to use, powerful enough for a professional or avid enthusiast to enjoy.
The only major drawback is the price. You always pay out the nose for being an early adopter, so you have to factor that in. Hopefully it will come down soon so more and more people can justify the purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An excellent performance for an excellent price! This product was reviewed by one of the pros as as one of the two 4K Blu Ray players that perform well but this is the more moderately priced of the two. I have to say that I watched a 3D movie (The Jungle Book) and was absolutely blown away! I have mine paired with a 4K TV so that makes a big difference, keep that in mind when you consider your choices.
Pros: Realistic color, Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent performance

This player performs well and provides excellent picture and sound. Remote is very small but works well, not all that necessary with ARC on my 4k TV. I use this unit primarily to watch Blu Ray discs because video rental stores do no carry 4k discs yet. The unit streams well, but noticed that it will loose the connection some times even though WiFi router is close by. Over all very pleased with it.
Pros: great value
Cons: will loose wifi connection, does not show all available networks
I would recommend this to a friend!

This player definitely upgrades a Blu-Ray dvd to 4k resolution. We watched a blu-ray we watched in the past. It was like watching it for the first time again.
Pros: Inexpensive
