This Samsung BD-J7500/ZA Blu-ray player allows Web streaming. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Great 3D Blu-ray Player With 4K Up Scaling
on February 21, 2016
Posted by: oldzoom
First let me state this player DOES NOT play 4K UHD dvds as some reviews have stated. There's a newer Samsung model coming out April 5th, 2016 model K8500 that will play 4K UHD dvds.
This model J7500/ZA is a great 3D Blu-ray player and Blu-ray disk player it does a great job up converting the 1080p Blu-ray to 3840x2160 at 60fps. I'm using this player on a Samsung 65" LED Curved 3D 4K UHDTV model UN65JU7500FXZA and a Samsung 8.1 channel Curved sound bar model J7500/ZA both also purchased at Best Buy. This triple J7500 series setup is why I stay home and buy 3D Blu-ray and Blu-ray movies instead of going to the movie theater. This setup has a better picture than a movie theater and the sound quality is really good and alot of that is contributed to the Samsung 8.1 channel curved sound bar with this higher end 3D Blu-ray 4K up scaling dvd player doing what it does with the content on the Blu-ray dvd itself.
If watching 4K UHD DVD movies are important to you then you may want to wait to buy the Samsung model K8500. Myself I knew 8 months ago when I bought all 3 of these Samsung devices that a 4K UHD dvd player was coming out in April 2016, but I couldn't wait that long to have a 3D Blu-ray Player With 4K up scaling.
This player also has both 2k and 5k bands for your wireless Internet, the remote is adequate, has the smart function for streaming most newer TVs do so, so it's over kill. The newer Roku 4 is up scaling 3840x2160p at 60fps which I also have and it's far better than the smart part of this player and the TV's smart part too.
For the price of this player it's a good value because of quality of the audio decoding, picture signal quality, smart streaming, dual band wireless connection and 3D Blu-ray Player. If you have a 3D UHDTV you have to have a 3D Blu-ray up scaling player to play those 3D Blu-ray movies. When you get this new player home be sure to update the firmware and setup auto update in settings. Also make sure the audio delay is set to zero so when people talk then their lips match with what their saying. For some reason my player was set to a 250ms delay. Also make sure you buy a high speed HDMI cable to hook it up to your UHDTV, your older HDMI cables you used for 1080p signal won't handle the increased bandwidth needed for 3840x2160p at 60 fps. Like I said before, if playing 4K UHD dvds isn't important to you then this J7500 model is definitely worth a serious look.

3D
If dvd is 3d ready and I hook it up to a non-3D tv will it perform just as well?
No, most all 3D DVDs will not play in a non 3D Blu-ray player and also a 3D player won't play the 3D DVD unless it senses a 3D pickup from the TV. Both the TV and Blu-ray player must be 3D.

WHAT DOES MAGNOLIA MEAN
MAGNOLIA
Magnolia is Best Buy's collection of higher end brands of home entertainment electronics. Like TVs, Blu-ray dvd players, speakers, receivers, etc... Example: If you want one of the best TVs Best Buy sells then you want to look for the Magnolia reference/sign.

4K Ultra TV
Just bought a 4K Ultra TV but it is NOT 3D....should I get an Ultra 4k dvd player??
I would, just because you don't have 3D you still want to view 4K content. Isn't that why you bought a 4K TV? The Samsung J8500 4K UHD DVD player releases April 5th, 2016

Are there any blu-ray players with optical audio output on the market today?
I have a surround sound theater system that has optical audio input but no coaxial sound input.
Yes the Samsung model I have does, but I use the TV's optical audio out instead. Samsung BD-J7500/ZA from Best Buy does and it's on sale right now. BTW I own this model too.
