Samsung - Refurbished UBD-K8500 4K Ultra HD Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player - Black

Alas, this was not meant to be... I had high expectations for this item being a Samsung product, always heard good things regarding any Samsung product. But right out of the box we had problems. One night, it suddenly shut off on me, another night it had a line go horizontally through my screen. Think of the old VHS players that when you messed up the tape there was a line through the screen, same thing happened with this item. No my disc was not scratched, it was brand new (about 2 days old - John Wick Chpt. 1). If they worked out all the kinks before selling these back to the public that would be nice. Some minor design flaws include - no display on the player, remote feels cheap and lacking a forward and rewind button (you can only skip chapters).

I have this unit hooked to my lg oled 4k 3d tv and so far this does what it says. 3d is excellent, 4k hdr is stunning (watched some Defenders on netflix and a uhd hdr "The Last Reef" in 4khdr and this unit gets the most from my tv. No lag in speed. The refurbished came with cord, remote, unit, but no owners manual. Menu for settings is identical to my other samsung 4k tv, so i did not have an issue going through finding things. Very pleased with the price from best buy, no one can touch what they have it for. I could not be happier right now.

Terrible interface, never loads 4k video. When I at first couldn't get it to work with my 4k (LG) TV, I assumed there must be a problem with the player and returned it, the second one has the same issue: when you put in a Blu-ray or 4k uhd disc, it spins and then plays sound but the video won't render. Even tried upgrading the hdmi cable, but could not resolve the issue. Possibly a problem with UHD just not being compatible with this player, but neither Samsung nor (LG) seem to be able to diagnose and/or fix the issue,

This player does a good job of playing 4K HDR Blu-ray movies. It also has the ability to play 3D Blu-ray movies which the later model Samsung 4K players lack. With the latest firmware update it still cannot play YouTube 4K HDR content. The remote is small with limited buttons but you can buy a cheap Samsung full function remote. The refurbished unit was in excellent condition and it was packed in in the original box. For the price it is an outstanding buy.

I was looking to update my bluray and ran across this player. Very happy with it. It has 3D capability along with the blu ray, so I can get that "theater feel" while I'm still at home. :) At the point I start collecting 4K movies, I'll be ready for that as well, as this device also supports that format. On top of that, it has several streaming apps built into it that are not yet available on the Apple TV ( like fandango). Very happy with this purchase.

on opening, the device and accessories were like new! (if not new) the same device in-store open-box and beat up was $209. This is a deal with full warranty and the extended warranty provides assurance for a low cost. output covers all I need for glorious 4K viewing... HDR, 3D, 4K, 4K upscaling on FHD Blurays. The apps load and work snappy - I use Plex a lot and Netflix Great buy for $135

The refurbished unit I received looked fine and powered on fine, but it didn't play the first UHD (brand-new) I put into it. It made a clunk sound and ejected it. I tried a Blu-Ray and had the same problem. It worked with a DVD and the online streaming worked fine, but the whole reason I bought it was to play UHDs, so I returned it. I bought a new one while I was at the store and it works fine.

Got mine as refurbished or might be used and got returned because the small remote has scratches. There aren't plastic bags with each of the contents and no manual booklet. But surprisingly it works pretty well though and still satisfied with my purchase. I did get the extended warranty. Samsung is definitely a good brand but doesn't last long like Sony when it comes to BD players.
