As just a standard Blu Ray player this thing is very good!!! This player is lightning fast with excellent up scaling, the apps load quickly as well ( Netflix 4k, Amazon 4k, Plex, Vudu- not 4k yet). I have an Oppo 103, and this player is actually on par with that unit on upscaling Blu Ray. Now to get the full advantage of the 8500k, you need a newer 4K tv with HDMI 2.0 with HDR. You also, need a good 18gbs ( fast ) HDMI cable, something that can handle 4k @ 60. Otherwise, you might have problems, and I'm going off various comments & my experience of fellow users of this player. Everything in your HDMI chain must be up to date ( TV, Blu Ray, Receiver or Sound bar ), or you will have issues. This player has two HDMI port ( 1 for video, and 1 for sound ), and the most full proof hook up is direct to the TV for video. I have a Marantz 7010 receiver, which is one of the most up to date receivers out there, and I get the occasional handshake issues ( will wait for a firmware update ).
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm using the Samsung 8500K UHD Player with my Sony XBR 850C. This movie looks spectacular! Yes it looks better than the standard Blu Ray, which is excellent too. The key is HDR, this really adds realism, and the 4k resolution helps too, but the key is the HDR. Reflections, glare, color, are all given an added realism that you see with your eyes in real life.
I would recommend this to a friend!
