    Love the player. Just having a hard time trying to figure out how to make some UHD Blue Rays play on full screen. instead of the black bars on top & bottom. in spite of this, great picture.

    This is an upper mid-level blue ray player, matching the specs listed. If you don't have a smart TV, it can be connected to your network and used to access streaming services which you can then play through it onto your "not smart" TV. It does have Cinavia - the copy protection software, so you won't be playing any DVD's that are copies or that you have made from downloaded movies etc which contain this software. Most players these days contain such, and IMO this is a dis-service to those who have things they should legally be able to play. So much piracy these days, can't blame them... but it should clearly say so on the box and in the manual - and if it does, I didn't see it

    This blu ray player was perfect for me. I have 4K blu rays and also 3D blu rays that I can view with this player. Also, the upscaling of DVDs works better than I thought. Must have player...

    Like the picture a lot, but could not compare to standard bluray side by side. Smartview apps are nice and easy to use. Youtube movie previews look great. Not convinced it is worth the high cost for 4k, but we got it to use with future 4k discs

    The Samsung works well as expected. My only negative is the size of the remote. It is one of the smallest I have seen with small buttons that are not always easy to use with large fingers.

    This unit functions well and has a number of apps available however I'm not sure that I couldn't have gotten the same level of performance for less by purchasing a Phillips player. I would recommend this to a friend if the price comes down...

    I only paid 200 for this player which was a great price. As far as I can tell the picture quality of all the 4k movies I've purchased only look slightly better than watching it on blu ray.

    My Samsung 4k tv and the Samsung k8500 married together without a hitch. Watched Avatar in just regular blu-ray. Colors and resolution were fantastic. Can't wait to view a good 4k movie.
