Unveil rich image details in Ultra HD with this 65-inch Samsung smart TV. Its 4K technology provides enhanced color and contrast, and it lets you enjoy smooth browsing and media streaming with its quad-core processor. This Samsung smart TV enhances the quality of lower-resolution videos with its UHD upscaling capability.

Overall price vs picture is good. Picture took some adjustments to get it how I like. The HDR plus option I think makes things pop a little more. It is really fast turning on and smart features which I love. Took a star off because HDR sources are not a huge improvement.

Don't see a big improvement

Granted that I do onto have HDR ability I don't see a huge difference. I played the blu ray version in my blu ray player vs 4k version in this 4k blu ray player and yes there is a difference but it really is just slightly smoother if you will.
Spent some time tweaking the settings etc. Still not a big improvement. Especially I tried the same blu ray in both the 4k and blu ray player and next no improvement there upping to a 4k.
Maybe when films are being widely filmed in 4k it will make a difference but as of now I really don't think it is worth the 400 dollars.
As far as HDR goes I can stream HDR and I streamed the same exact show from Amazon on my TV (which give me HDR) and through the 4k player ... there was a difference in the lighting but not a whole lot and that I could potentially adjust in my TV settings.
It seems to me HDR is just a way of linking to your TV for the optimal settings but if you can tweak things to your preferences it probably won't make much of a difference.

All in all I am returning mine I just don't think it is worth it and so far 4k has not impressed me period. I am very happy with my TV and still happy I got the 4k version to future proof myself but it is definitely no where near going from standard to HD.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

220 volt
Is this player compatible with 220 volt countries?
Don't they make adapters that allow you to plug 110 volt equipment in ? Definitely comes with your standard 110 volt power cable
