I have a 65 inch 4k TV (brand is Element, bought from Costco a few months ago). I have a Samsung 4k upconvert blu ray player and was happy with that, but wanted this true 4k when it came out and fortunately I ordered it just on time (because a few minutes later, Bestbuy ran out.) Got it quickly in the mail - 2 days UPS - nicely packed. It is connected to Vizio SB3821-C6 38" 2.1 Bluetooth Soundbar via digital output. Internet via ethernet cable and to the TV with the same HDMI cable that I was using before. Regular DVD looks good. Didn't expect it to look * that * good, but when I popped a blu ray disk in, it really was stunning. First played Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor) blu ray. I didn't expect it to upconvert 1080p source to 4k that well. Very sharp (without noises). No color bleedings. (Default setting on TV, and following settings on the player: Deep Color: on, Resolution at 2060p, 24p to on. Later tried Everest blu ray from Netflix that came in today. It looked amazing. A visiting friend felt it looked great, too. I tried playing it with the other Samsung 4k upconvert player, and honestly, I thought the true 4k player looked better. We tried an episode of Netflix stream show - Frankie and Grace. This is one of the few shows that is in 4k. It loads quickly (I have fast Time Warner Cable 300K speed) - just a few seconds, and no pauses at all. It simply looked AMAZING. My friend and I stood about two feet away from the screen and we were able to see all the juicy details. I thought a regular Blu Ray looks good with this player, but real 4k Netflix looks even better. It was crystal clear. I am not saying that I can't wait until I buy a 4k blu ray movie (on a disk). They are expensive and the selection is still limited (as of now, February 2016). Am looking forward to buying them for newer movies that I do not have on blu ray yet in due course. I use a Canon 5d Mark II with 24-70 mm f 2.8 L lens to take photos of the screen (ASA 1,000, hand held). One is whole screen, and the other is a foot away. I hope these photos are useful. Now the bad news: the remote is small, and it uses (supplied) button battery. Fortunately the old remote that came with the previous BR player works (it is also Samsung.) I can't believe an expensive player like this comes with this tiny remote. There is no fast forward button (or go back) - you'd have to hold the "next chapter" button down to do that. Many people are going to be upset about this. Lastly, no HDMI cable either.

Paired with a Samsung UN65JS9000 SUHD TV. The player loads very fast, 3 seconds and lets you go directly to the disc menu. The Ultra HD 4K Movies look very deep in color, full and rich with HD. I almost feel like I need to move back from the TV the resolution is so high. the Blu-Ray upscale to 4K looks really good. Now I can watch my entire collection over again.

I did't do any research on other 4k players because there is no others on the market. I'm glad it was samsung because they have top quality products. except washers, dryers, and fridges. I'd go with LG. The player syncs up with my samsung 4k tv through my 4k passthrough AV reciever. It's awesome. worth every bit of the absurd high price.

Was looking forward to getting my Sony x930c to reach its full potential but with streaming content it was good but not the best; then I purchased this and some 4K blu Rays and I'm blown away. Movies look amazing! I couldn't be happier with my set up, movie nights will now be at its best!

If you're interested in 4k now or in the future this player is perfect. Having the upscaling for DVD and Blu-ray is great. The player is fast and responsive. Obviously 4k content on a 4k TV is amazing, especially if the TV is HDR compatible! There is also a good selection of apps and such available through the Smart Hub. Overall I think it is a fantastic fist 4k Blu-ray player.
