The UBD-K8500 is nice-looking for a disc player, with a brushed finish and a curved design that will mesh well with any AV system -- and particularly well, of course, with the curved TVs Samsung insists on continuing to make. Controls on the player itself are minimal and, surprisingly for a high-end unit, there's no display. In one strike against i...
We used three separate TVs to test 4K Blu-ray playback, two HDR-capable -- the Samsung JS9500 and the LG 65EF9500 -- and one "standard" 4K, the Vizio M series. We set each television to its default Movie, Cinema or Calibrated Dark picture mode respectively, to reduce variables introduced by different calibrations, and because we didn't calibrate fo...
Here's where things get even more technical and average-user-unfriendly.

If you're excited by the news that 4K Blu-ray discs are available to buy right now, you might want to cool your jets a little. Most of the titles available at this time are drawn from 2K masters which were then upscaled to 4K, even if they were originally shot on 4K cameras. What does this mean?

Most Blu-ray players take about 15 seconds to start up Netflix, but the K8500 took about half that, which puts it in line with dedicated streaming players like the Roku. Meanwhile, loading times of our test Blu-ray, "Mission Impossible III," we...
Do you really want to spend $400 on getting into a new, relatively untested format? The outlook for 4K Blu-ray is uncertain at this stage. Only three players are confirmed for 2016 -- the Samsung reviewed here, plus one each from Panasonic and Philips. Sony's own player may not comeuntil early 2017, despite Sony Pictures being among the first studi...

Batman v Superman was shot both digitally and on photochemical film (Super 16, 35mm, and 65mm IMAX) using a variety of cameras, though the final project was finished to a true 4K Digital Intermediate.

Oct 6, 2016 · It worked flawlessly with Warner’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was the first 100GB triple-layer 4K disc available here in the States. Even older BD-Java enhanced Blu-rays that have given my previous Blu-ray players fits seem to pose no problem for the K8500.
