The Best
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: RichardPeter

Expertise:Expert
This is my second Samsung Ultra HD Player UBD-K8500. We have used the first one for about a year and decided to get a second one because it is so superior to what we had before. The colors are deep, rich, bright, and the adjustments amazing. The sound goes directly to our stereo system, and is so clear and rich that even though I am hard of hearing, I don't need headphones or to play it louder than what my wife likes. So you can't go wrong with this Unit. By the way, we tried it on an old 12 year + Plasma TV and it also made an incredible difference.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent player and features. Poor remote, too small hard to read, does not take standard batteries, bought a replacement. Player itself has no display, not up to Samsung's design standards..
Pros: Durable
Cons: no display poor remote
I would recommend this to a friend!

My first 4K Blu-Ray
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: RaiderDave
from Omaha, NE, USA
Expertise:Expert
Samsung has always been my go-to supplier of electronics. Their quality is consistently high and their prices are reasonable. The video and audio coming out of this unit are extraordinary! While the available 4K content is limited, this is certainly the way forward until or unless a new breakthrough in A/V occurs.
Pros:
Great audio and video
Dual HDMI output (one audio only for input to a receiver)
Easy setup and use

Cons
Very limited App selection in the Samsung Apps area
No customization ability for apps you use most
For some reason, certain extremely popular apps are simply not available and no explanation is ever given (I can't name the apps or this review will not be published.)

Bad choice for us

If you have fingers they are way too big to accurately use the remote. This alone is enough to ruin the experience of using this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Blu-Ray Player works well
on July 29, 2017

Expertise:Intermediate
My only issue so far is I have not been able to sign in to my Samsung account on the player, nor have I been able to access AmazonPrime to view their free movies. Not sure whether it is a wi-fi problem or that I can't scroll and choose the correct charcters on the on screen keyboard.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

The product actually great especially in UHD 4K mode. But the only issue right now for me is that it stopped working for no reason at all. I believe I've only used this for about 6x times watching 4K movies and now it does not turning on anymore (no power) Sadly it is now out of warranty :-(
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality

Awesome player w/Dollar Store streaming features?

Everything is great
besides that I can't load any apps that I want (which are the most popular ones) into MY APPS. Roku kicks Samsung out of the park with Streaming features.

Already broken

Used it three or four times, now when I turn it on, there are all these lines through the bottom of of the screen. It is not my TV, tv works fine with Apple TV and live TV. Tried using different HDMI cables, and inputs, it is definitely just a poor quality blue ray player that has conked out after watching three movies.
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
