A Good Value 4K UHD TV
on July 11, 2016
Posted by: BigDaddyChops
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Samsung model as my second 4K UHD TV to wall-mount in my bedroom. The size is perfect for the location, and the 4K UHD resolution is as dramatic as on my larger 75" living room model, it still looks great on this 50" model. The Smart TV features are nice, but as I've seen with other units, the software is always a little buggy. Some of the apps freeze in random ways and require the app to be deleted and reinstalled to restore functionality. But, this is not common and would not dissuade my purchase. This model also combines 3D features for HD BluRay and is very affordable. I would absolutely make this purchase again.

A Must-Have for 4K Content Playback
on July 11, 2016
Posted by: BigDaddyChops
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you intend to connect a 4K UHD player to your new UHD 4K TV, then a high-bandwidth 4K capable cable is a must. This cable is a good value-priced product that more than delivers. Available in multiple lengths, this 4-foot cable is about right for most needs. Shielded for in-wall runs, this cable is versatile and delivers a great 4K picture.

A Classic Gets 4K Treatment
on July 11, 2016
Posted by: BigDaddyChops
Verified Purchase:Yes
THE all-time comedy classic of the 80's gets the 4K treatment for this disc and release. At 4K resolution, you can see the grain of the original filmstock. Ghostbusters has never looked better. But, be warned - the enhanced resolution really shows off the limits of the 80's-era special effects. Some of the effects look really, really dated at such high resolution.

The Best First-Gen Unit on the Market
on July 11, 2016
Posted by: BigDaddyChops
Verified Purchase:Yes
When looking for UltraHD (4K) BluRay players, your choices are limited. This Samsung unit is by far the best and most-affordable unit available. It is solid, but has a few hiccups on occasion. The dashboard interface is clean, but may integrate TOO WELL with your Samsung UHD TV. Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether the menus are from the player or the TV. Discs play nicely and the 4K image quality is great. This will be my primary UHD player until the new PS4 Neo and Xbox OneS hit the market. Word of advice - be sure that you have a 4K capable HDMI cable.

it says coming soon does anyone know when u can purchase the 55 inch of this tv i had plans on ordering this one in this size on friday will it be out this week sometime or is there a way i can ordr it at the store i notice all the other online stores already has had iit in stock for a few weeks already just wondering when u guys will have this one in stock it just has been saying coming soon for the last few weeks.
This is a 2016 model, so most stores may be out of stock as they begin stocking 2017 models. On the other hand, you may get this display at an amazingly great closeout price. (Note: This response posted April 2017).

Can you enable HDR while in "Game Mode" and is the input lag noticeable?

Yes. I did not notice any lag while playing using a PS4 Pro.

I have a vizio 4K tv with the 8500 hooked up to the hdmi 5 port but when I play a 4K disc it says that it can't display uhd content. Am I doing something wrong or is it just my tv?

Did you connect with a High-Bandwidth 4K capable HDMI cable or just a standard HDMI cable? Without a high-bandwidth cable, the TV will not receive the 4K content but will play 1080p HD content.
