I have three Samsung players of this type: a K8500, an M7500, and the one reviewed here, the M8500. All three perform identically and are styled identically, although the remote control of the K series unit is different from that for the M series. Both remotes are a bit problematical, but once you get the hang they do fine. The difference between the M8500 and M7500 involve the internet link: the M8500 uses WiFi; the M7500 requires an Ethernet cable. Other than that, they are basically the same player with the same fine performance and the same remote, which is superficially similar to that for my Samsung TV. The K8500 also uses WiFi, and it is actually blessed with three features the other two do not have: 3D playback (a format that appears to be heading towards defunctness), a little blue panel light that flickers when any of the control buttons on the front panel are pressed, and a second HDMI outlet on the back panel for audio-only use (another almost useless feature). The M series lacks the blue light and extra jack. The K8500, Samsung's first 4K player was actually a more "deluxe" player than the other two, but that deluxeness is inconsequential. All three have performance qualities that are the same. None of them have any glitches. All are quiet, respond to commands nicely, and all deliver identical picture quality, which is very good quality. All do a good job with 1080p and regular DVD materials, too. The attached photos show the three units stacked on top of my equipment cabinet, plus a shot of the front wall. This system is a 7.1.4 arrangement, with home-built speakers (I reviewed audio components and wrote articles for audio magazines for years and know how to build speakers), Pioneer receiver, and home-built cylinder subwoofers powered by a Crown stereo amp. A small outboard amp powers the additional speakers for the Atmos arrangement, and a Hsu Optimizer equalizes the subs to 18 Hz. This is a rig that demands a good video player, and in this case it has three of them. The small TV is for programming my wife's cable recorder. Unfortunately, Samsung has gotten out of the business of making players of any kind. (Even the luxury outfit Oppo has given it up.) I find this to be unfortunate, and even a bit mysterious, given that other outfits are still making players, but I suppose that today's generation is more than happy to just stream movies. The player can do that, but, being a rather elderly fan, I am a disc guy, myself. (Note the discs in the bookcases behind the speakers.) Anyway, this is a fine player. If you are a disc freak like me, get one of any of the above-noted models before they are gone.

This 4K Blu-Ray player is quite good. The picture quality is great when watching 4K Blu-Rays but also when using the Smart Functions on the Blu-Ray Player. The operating system on this device is very smooth and works great. One small complaint is that the web browser is almost un-usable because of how touchy the on screen cursor is. The big complaint that gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is only a very small selection of apps installed on this Blu-Ray player and you can only download a select few more. You get Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Youtube, Google Play Movies, and the Web Browser. You can download a few more such as Vudu, Spotify, UFC, iHeartRadio,YuppTV, Pandora, and Fandago Now. This would be a perfect Blu-Ray Player if it had a better selection of apps. Still great for disks though.

The quality on the tv is amazing . Must have ultra hd movies tho but u wont regret it

Amazing easy hook up everything synced right up, on sale was a bonus..

I bought this 4K player primarily because I wanted to also use the apps such as Plex for streaming. It not only plays 4K Blu-Ray discs perfectly but it streams my 4K media from my Plex server with ease. This is an excellent 4K player from Samsung!
