I would have given it an excellent, but given a good as bought the item from Currys store and after setting it up to the TV and switched it On nothing it just said on standby, I returned the item back and they checked it and said there was a power fault with the system, they replace the unit and again setting it up to the TV everything worked this time. Also received inside the box (free) Three 4k UHD film, the quality and the sound of a 4k Blu-ray is very excellent and the upgrade for the Blu-ray and the old DVD to a 4k is very good.

Truly awful. Changes to Blu-Ray disk AACS standard means this machine no longer plays mire modern blu-ray disks. Player is now a heap of junk. Requires a firmware update from Samsung which isn’t forthcoming. Last time I buy any Samsung.

OK so it's not pretty in the eyes of most, a bit of an ugly duckling you might say, however in terms of performance it excels. Everything you throw at it works (Unlike the new Oppo 203), pristine UHD HDR from discs, great upscaling from Blu ray & it's fast loading. Apps work exactly as they should. I have heard some say it has a "Red push" certainly not in my case, colours from my Samsung display are as close to real life as you are going to get & image detail is superb. My only real niggle is the tiny toy like remote, however even that when you get used to it works very well.

Nice 4K HDR player with a simple curved design that does the business. Lots of features especially 2 HDMI ports which allows you to send the picture directly to your TV with one port and the other port to send the sound to your AV receiver. Handy if your amp isnt 4K compatible. Remote is small and fiddly especially with no dedicated fast forward/rewind. The chapter search buttons have to be held down instead which can result in selecting the next chapter in error. Tray seems loud when opening/closing. Picture quality is stunning but havent tried it on an HDR TV as yet. Some good apps to use such as 4k netflix etc. USB port for movies/music etc. Quick start menu and nice user interface make this the ideal blu-ray player to purchase for your 4K TV. It is worth the wait :-)

This model has known issues playing some Blu-ray discs due to licencing and copyright issues. The error message is "The disc does not meet the specification". This is a well known fault that has affected many owners of the UBD-K8500 and Samsung have shown zero interest in fixing the problem. Avoid.

Just what you want to be able to play those Ultra 4K Bluray films and also upgrade the ordinary Bluray films on your 4K Television. This player also upgrades ordinary DVDs to near Bluray too. All in all a great piece of kit with a small but very useable remote. I recommend.

This is a very good player with lots of features as well as all the catch-up channels. It is easy to use and is plug and play. It’s very neat and unobtrusive. The buttons on the remote are small so those with big fingers watch out. Glad I chose this player.
