A: If your TV has HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2 then yes, this will be worth it. Your TV may be 4K, and it may be able to upscale images to 4K, but the player will allow 4K PLUS UHD to be seen on your TV. Right now many apps will not stream UHD to your TV. The player will allow you to watch 4K UHD disks AND UHD from certain apps.
Q: am I still getting 4k UHD when I play 4k movies, but with out the HDR.
A: You should still be getting the full 4K potential from your tv. Make sure to go in and customize it so that you have the highest resolution as the default and, just as important, turn off the 24fps option on both machines. This way, you should get either 50 or 60fps with your 4K, which is optimal. Hope this helps.
Q: Is this a TRUE 4k dvd player, not an upscale model?
A: Yes it plays the real 4K discs but I couldn't tell any difference between a 4K disc on this player and a regular blu-ray upscaled.
A: any good hdmi will work, dont buy into this whole hdmi scam. im using a $20 rocketfish hdmi on this unit with a samsung suhd 9000 series and it looks unbelievable. trust me dont waist your money
Q: I have a 2015 Samsung SUHDTv. How do I know if the HDR for the 4k blu rays?
A: You can turn the HDR on and off for your HDMI inputs. Using your tv remote press menu, select picture, and then picture options. In this sub listing you'll select the title "HDMI UHD Color". This is where you can turn the HDR on and off. You'll need to unplug your HDMI cable from the tv for the reset required to implement this change.
Q: Do not buy this product due to no support of dolby altos?
A: Player supports atmos as long as sound output is set to bitstream and the disc has an atmos track.
Q: Can`t seem to stream amazon instant video or netflix in 4k on this player?
A: There are two possibilities: 1. Are you running HDMI thru an A/V receiver? If so, the receiver needs to be HDCP 2.2 compliant, and if you purchased it prior to this year, it probably does not. The work around is to use the 2nd HDMI output on the player to the A/V receiver and the first output to an HDCP 2.2 compliant input on the TV. 2. Your TV is an older 4k model made before the HDCP 2.2 standard was completed. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this issue, and everything will be output at 1080p or less.
A: Yes, but you will need to use the HDMI 3 port, which is HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 support or upgrade one connect box to the new one connect box which all HDMI ports will meet the newer standards HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-uhd-evolution-kit-silver/7096015.p?id=1219668770669&skuId=7096015
