At first glancetop surface is actually flat; only the front face curves slightly outward, producing the optical illusion that the whole device gently arcs. The front consists of two curved surfaces that angle outward and meet at a prominent front edge. The top surface holds Eject, Play/Pause, Power, and Stop buttons, along with two indicator lights. The bottom surface holds the disc drive tray and a USB 3.0 port. The back of the player offers a single HDMI output for video, along with a second HDMI output dedicated to audio, an optical audio output, and an Ethernet port.

The remote is a small, simple 5.4-inch black candy bar. The center of the remote holds a prominent square navigation pad flanked by menu buttons. Playback controls sit above the pad, while four color buttons and simple television controls (Power, Source, Volume Up/Down) are below. It lacks the precise air mouse/touchpad controls of Samsung's high-end HDTVs, but it's perfectly usable.

Features
The player offers plenty of streaming services and apps through the Samsung Apps platform. You can access Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, and YouTube for video and Pandora, SiriusXM, and Spotify for music, as well as dozens of other apps for news, social networks, sports, and weather. The K8500 has 1.66GB of onboard storage, which should be more than enough for your streaming and information needs.

Besides Samsung Apps, the player features a Web browser. Since the remote doesn't offer mouse-like abilities, navigation can be awkward. If you have a recent Samsung smartphone or tablet, you can also mirror your screen to the K8500.

Ultra HD Blu-ray Performance
Unlike when the first Blu-ray players hit the market, the K8500 loads discs very quickly. The K8500 got to the opening menus of the Ultra HD Blu-ray versions of Mad Max: Fury Roadand X-Men: Days of Future Past in less than 20 seconds each. While we don't have other Ultra HD Blu-ray players to compare it with, this is fast when measured against the first Blu-ray players and 1080p Blu-ray Discs, which easily took a full minute to start playing. Other current players regularly take around 10 to 20 seconds to load discs, putting the K8500 in line with the most recent technology used for standard Blu-ray discs.

Ultra HD Blu-ray discs can be encoded with high dynamic range (HDR) video, which sends a wider range of brightness, darkness, and color levels to the connected television than standard HD video signals. When connected to an HDR-compatible television, the K8500 played HDR video from both Mad Max: Fury Road and X-Men: Days of Future Past without a problem. If the connected television doesn't support HDR, the player accounts for that and sends a standard signal.

For audio, the K8500 supports Dolby True HD and DTS-HD surround sound formats, along with 7.1-channel Dolby Digital. This is powerful for conventional Blu-ray players, but Ultra HD Blu-ray discs can be also encoded with the more advanced Dolby Atmos and DTS-X audio. Those formats incorporate much more positional sound information than conventional 5.1- and 7.1-channel surround sound to produce a more immersive experience. The K8500 doesn't officially support Dolby Atmos or DTS-X, but readers have reported that the player can send these formats to a compatible receiver. We've been unable to test this.

Ultra HD 4K Playback & Upscaling: With stunning UHD 4K, Samsung's UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray Player gives you 4x the resolution of full 1080p HD and boasts incredibly life-like images with a level of detail and clarity like never before. You can even upscale your favorite non-4K video content and enjoy it in 4K Ultra-HD (3,840 x 2,160) with this Samsung UHD Blu-ray Player and your Ultra HD TV.

Note: To enjoy 4K, you must have a compatible 4K television connected to the UHD Blu-ray player via HDMI.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Video: With HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, the Ultra HD Blu-ray Player delivers dynamic UHD content in exceptional quality with a greater range of color contrast and brightness, enhancing details from the original film format. Experience sharp contrasts and brightness with deeper blacks and brighter whites.

WCR (Wider Color Range): The Samsung UBD-K8500 supports up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of ultra high-definition video. This allows the Ultra HD Blu-ray player to offer twice the color range of existing conventional Blu-ray players and 64x higher color expressions, surpassing the digital cinema standard. As a result, you'll get to enjoy realistic picture quality like never before.

Deep Color & x.v. Color: Deep Color allows more accurate color reproduction with deep color depth. The Samsung UBD-K8500 must be connected to a Deep Color compatible TV via HDMI for this feature to function. The UBD-K8500 also supports x.v.Color; meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs, such as AVCHD discs (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format).

Movie Frame (24fps): Movies are typically recorded on film with a frame rate of 24fps (frames-per-second). When a movie is transferred to Ultra HD Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc at 24 frames per second, the UBD-K8500 will output that signal to the TV at a resolution of 1080i, 1080p, or 2160p with no need for conversion for improved picture quality when watching a movie.

Full HD 3D: The Samsung UBD-K8500 UHD Blu-ray disc player supports 3D playback of high-definition (720p/1080p) 3D Blu-ray discs when connected to a 3D-Ready HDTV via HDMI, along with wearing a pair 3D vision glasses..

Backward Compatibility
In addition to Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, the K8500 is backward compatible with both standard Blu-ray and DVD media. Since Ultra HD Blu-ray is such a new format, it's good to see that the first player we've tested works so well. It's fast, plays HDR 4K with ease, and upconverts 1080p Blu-ray discs quite well.

The UBD-K8500 is equipped with an HDMI output, a frontal USB port for easy sharing from USB or external storage, or mobile devices and also allows you to rip audio CD files to MP3. This player also has a rear Ethernet port for improved internet connectivity when using 4K streaming. Features an optical digital audio output for maximum flexibility.
