A Super-Secret Organization recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a dire global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. A phenomenal cast, including Academy Award Winners Colin Firth and Michael Caine and Oscar Nominee Samuel L. Jackson, leads this action-packed spy-thriller directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men First Class).

mClassic full test/review
I purchased this item to enhance 3D viewing as my 4K TV, Blu-ray player, and 4K Blu-ray player all support 3D playback. The unfortunate drawback is that when connected to the 4K Blu-ray player HDCP will not allow content to go directly to the TV thus you have to add a HDMI switch box to connect your devices to then connecting the mClassic to the output then to the TV. After my initial tests I have decided at this time not to utilize this method. Following are the equipment and the content used.
Equipment:
Samsung TV - UN55JS8500 smart 4K/3D.
This TV use's the one connect mini along with active shutter 3D glasses.
Samsung 4K/3D Blu-ray player - UBD-KM85C.
Sony 1080p 3D Blu-ray player - BDPS570.

Sony 1080p 3D Blu-ray player - BDPS570.
Content:
Mortal Engines 4K/Blu-ray combo.
Mortal Engines 3D Blu-ray (UK import).
I used this title as the picture is reference quality (4K disc).
Justice League Snyder cut DVD.
Used this for a current DVD release.
T2:Judgment Day ultimate edition.
This is a vintage DVD release Thx certified picture/sound, Dolby digital.

Results:
Mortal Engines:
Used both Blu-ray players for comparison. Unable to use the mClassic on the Samsung but it is compatible with the Sony Blu-ray.
4K disc is clean with HDR. Picture is outstanding. The Blu-ray played in the Sony was upscaled to 4k using the mClassic with the only noticeable difference being no HDR on the Sony. Details were just as clean as the 4K disc. As for 3D, both players were equal but only 1920x1080/24 fps resolution.

Final thoughts:
If you have a 4K TV but still have and old (or new) Blu-ray player, the mClassic will upscale a 1080p disc and a DVD to 4K however for it's price point you're better off purchasing a 4K Blu-ray player unless you have an expensive Blu-ray player you've purchased in the past (i.e. a $600 Oppo) and you're on a budget. Since the only Blu-ray player compatibility is the Sony, that's where it will stay for the present time. I've purchased all of my equipment from pawn shops so my investment isn't over the top as I'm on a budget just like anyone else. If you find the mClassic on sale (as I did) or you have the need then by all means grab one. It just sucks that you have to use a HDMI switcher to utilize the mClassic on 4K Blu-ray players and game consoles that support 4K native playback due to HDCP.

***Update #1***
After posting my review I decided to watch some DVD content on the Sony Blu-ray player. I put in Ratchet and Clank and as usual trailers started playing. Kubo and the Two Strings came on which I am familiar with (3D) and my jaw dropped. I know Quantum you'll ding me for not pressing the info button on my TV'S service remote but the mClassic upscaled the DVD to 4K and it looked awesome. Next I put in Snake Eyes: G.I.Joe Origins DVD and it too was upscaled to 4K and looked awesome. Now I don't know what WB's deal is with Snyder's JL cut but the DVD looked better played in the Samsung 4K player vs the Sony Blu-ray with the mClassic. There is even a difference between the 4K UK import vs the US 4K release and I have to give the import stars vs the domestic. Obviously the source content is going to be key in how the device performs. I will be posting another update as I am going to pick different content to view both Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray along with some DVD content.

***Update #2***
Watched 2 pieces of content. A dvd-r copy of one of my movies which is a complete copy of the original disc and Dunkirk 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD.
Dunkirk was a no brainer with the Sony/mClassic combo upscaled the Blu-ray and DVD to 4k. I did notice the DVD was a bit softer vs the Blu-ray. This must be a "WB" thing as both DVD's (Snyder JL) showed softness. As for the dvd-r it did upscale however the codec's used when making the disc did introduce some judder but nothing that would make it unwatchable.
I also found my old HDMI switch box and gave it a try with the 4K Blu-ray player and no go. It's an old box and would need newer one to use the mClassic with all my devices. For now it will remain connected to the Sony Blu-ray.

Enjoyed this feature and a must to add to your 4K Blu-ray collection. This is a reference quality feature that will show off your system and if you are lucky enough to gave 3D playback grab the 3D Blu-ray as well. No disappointments here.
