Not Impressed!

I have a Samsung 65JS8500 - a Denon Dolby Atmos/DTS-X 2200 and this Blu-ray Player. All equipment that should make this player look fantastic. However, that is not the case. Regular BR look amazing on this player. When I put in The Last Witch Hunter in UHD 4K - it looks horrible! The picture is very grainy and seems to get lighter and darker as the disc plays. I know I have all the settings set-up right. I can see it is playing 3840x2160 and I can also see the UHD box showing in the corner of the TV - so I know it is outputting all the right settings. Also - I ordered 6 new hi-speed HDMI cables from Amazon that I am using- so that cannot be the problem ether. To say I am disappointed after spending $399.00 is an understatement! I'm still wondering if I'm doing something wrong?? The apps seem to look really great on You Tube and Netflix. I'm thinking of returning this to BB and getting a refund. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to make this player look better - by all means-I would love hear your input. Thanks for any suggestions you have! ! TR
