Our take on the Samsung UBDK8500/ZA HDR UHD Blu-ray Disc Player

The UBD-K8500 was Samsung's first 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. It plays UHD discs in HDR, upscales regular Blu-rays to 4K, and has two HDMI outputs so older AV receivers can pass 4K video straight to the TV. Built-in Wi-Fi and apps like Netflix and YouTube make it a streaming box too. Reviewers liked the picture and the second HDMI output, but the curved blue design and the lack of Dolby Vision date it against later players.
