pretty good

After waiting to play 4k movies it was discovered that my Samsung 7500 4k tv wasn't capable of playing 4k dvd's which wasn't explained to me when purchased. The tv requires HDR in order to play 4k dvd's. I bought one of the first 8500 models and they are now $150.00 cheaper. The player does upscale blu ray discs to a higher quality but isn't worth the price. Could've bought a cheaper model that upscales also. Player stops while watching movies and I have to push play again to resume. Not sure if it's the player or the disc that's at fault.
Pros: Realistic color, upscales blu ray
Cons: Did not meet expectations, remote is small, too expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

A true 4k playback

Not an up scaling dvd player where is up converts to near 4k quality but a true 4k play back experience. Compliments my UHD 65 inch curved 4k television.
Pros: Lightweight, features, design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best 4K Blu-Ray Player Out there

Has a ton of features. If you find it at the right price, its a great deal. It played my 4K Blu-Rays with perfect picture. It looked amazing and I finally noticed the difference on my 8700 Samsung after 2 years of ownership. The nice perk is it has all the app features that the 4K Roku requires so its like not only a high level blu ray player, but also like a built in 4K web Viewer.
My only disclaimer is that it did interrupt the first time I played a blu-ray. Like it just paused, I shut it off, and then resumed play normally. Kind of weird out of the box, but it might have needed a firmware update, or it could have maybe been the disk. I didn't have chance to troubleshoot it yet.
Pros: Inexpensive, features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product with a few caveats.

No other way to put it, the remote is terrible. Buttons are very close together and not very user friendly. As for the picture it does a very good job of playing UHD blu rays and regular Blu rays. Regular blu rays upconvert with very little to no artifacts. Dvd's the problem is it is a very low resolution to begin with and you can only do so much video processing. I have read many reviews that stated this machine was slow to start up but have been pleasantly surprised at how quick it is from turning on and playing a disc. A display on the front would have been nice. Initial setup was very easy.
Cons: remote remote remote

Well-made product, so far. It integrated immediately with my SUDH-4k set. Manual and instructions are insufficient.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big
