UBD-K8500 Review

I purchased the UBD-K8500 to go with the new 65" 8500 TV. The picture quality is amazing. Colors are realistic, detail is pinpoint, and there is no pixilation or artifacts. Another bonus is that with the newer Samsung TVs the connectivity is automatic. Both products can be operated with one remote and switching between DVD, and apps like Netflix are automatic and seamless.
I highly recommend.
I highly recommend.
Pros: Realistic color, awesome 4k performance

Good Player but...

Player works well, fast boot, no issues with the basic unit. That said, the app interface needs work. the pre-loaded recommended "Apps" cannot be edited (order displayed) nor added to the "MyApps" area. Not a major issue as it merely requires more clicks to get to the desired operation; however, it is just such a wart on an otherwise decent device.
Cons: app interface
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to connect and use. Great picture quality and apps. Although, web site would not let me register the correct purchase date of 1/7/2017 because 2017 wasn't a selection in their menu.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good player with some reservations

A few months I was pushed into purchasing a 4k TV. With limited 4k options, I looked around for a good player and this seemed to be the defacto benchmark unit. It has a weird shape but that was minor issue. I was eager to test the performance but found 4k test videos sparse on the Internet.
There are 3 faces to the unit: DVD/Blu-ray player, multimedia, apps. This seems to be trend to add more tricks to the pony. I thought the player side should be a blip but it came with AK59-00179A remote control. It is stripped down so you have to jump through hoops to do some basic things like fast forward and change languages/subtitles. I tried the regular remote for the Samsung DVD player and it worked great. The functionality is there, you just have buy a separate remote control to get around the problem. I then tried the multimedia side. After finding a few 4k test videos, I watched them on a USB thumb drive. The true 4k was impressive but the functionality of the multimedia was limited and when I tried to access a DLNA server I had set up on a Raspberry Pi, I had to go through a lot of folders just to reach the videos. I guess there wasn't much expectation to use the multimedia side. Most of the focus seems to have been on the apps side.
I do not have a Samsung smartphone or tablet but I suspect there is better integration with those devices.
It would have been nice to include a demo disc to show what the player is capable of doing. Just as with the introduction of HD, junk in junk out. A video that says 4k may just be scaled up 720 or 1080 and I expect a lot of videos that would be best left at their lower resolution rather than passing them off as something better. If you have a true 4k video, you will definitely notice the results with this player.
Pros: Realistic color, Inexpensive
Cons: missed the mark on 2 of the 3 functions.
I would recommend this to a friend!
