The picture is stunning. I dont really need the apps for viewing, I just need the player to play physical 4ks or blu rays. And that it does! Sharp, beautiful color, great sound. Great price, easy setup.
I should have bought this first.
First, there is no indicator on the front to know if the unit is powered on or off. The only Power light is on top, which you can only see standing above the player. Not smart. Maybe I'll mount a mirror up there!
Next, I looked in vain for an on screen display of play time on a DVD, like minutes into the movie and minutes remaining. None to be found. My previous players all had that feature.
Also, there are apparently some feature that can only be used with a Samsung TV. There is a "123" button on the remote, for example, that seems to have no function in my setup. Too bad other TV's can't take advantage of whatever those special features are.
Finally: As I said, it's my first UHD player. HDMI2 cable is not just recommended...its mandatory for a UHD TV. Hooking it up with my old HDMI cable resulted in a "no input detected" message on my TV. GIven that, including an HDMI2 cable would have been nice for those wanting to unpack it and immediatley hook it up.
Still, it worked out of the box, was easy to set up and delivers UHD resolution so I can't ding it more than one star. If I find other issue I'll revisit this review.
Update 1: To see the time into or remaining on a DVD, hit the Pause/Resume button. That calls up a banner that takes up about 1/4 of the top of the screen, but eventually times out.
Cons: Was unnaturally difficult to set up. The device would not respond to the remote and screwed up my TV somehow so that it stopped responding to it's remote. I researched online and found that if I unplug the device and hold down the power button for 10 seconds then removed the batteries from the remote and hold down the power button for 10 seconds then add power back to both it would correct the problem. After I did this I was able to set up the blu ray player and the TV started responding to it's remote (Roku) again too.
After trying to use the player without the remote and trying to fix the remote, I have come to the conclusion the remote is not only problem. Every command issued from the remote is picked up as ok/play. Home, tools, arrow keys, nothing else registers as anything but play/ok. The player itself randomly powers on if I even pick the remote up without pressing any buttons. Initially the player seemed to work without the remote, but that means most of the options aren't available. As of today, I cannot even play movies without the remote, in essence the player no longer works at all.
*my initial review is posted below*
The player itself seems to work well and the quality is pretty good. The the significant downside to the player itself is that it is slow and unresponsive, trying to change menu options often ends up skipping right over what you wanted to select unless you are super patient.
The larger problem is the remote, not only does it not work well it seems to actually break the player. About an hour into my first movie I started having random/weird problems. When I went to check the menu settings, the remote wasn't working right and when I turned the player off it immediately turned backed on and had a blinking red/green light. After brief troubleshooting, I realized there is something wrong with the remote, it is constantly sending some sort of command to the player even when no buttons are pushed. When I took the batteries out of the remote, my problems seemed to go away. If they come back, I will update the review to reflect the fact the player doesn't work.
I wanted to address a couple issues brought up in the only other review for this unit. I can see the power light from the front at eye level easily its red when off green when on and second is info for the movie can be seen by hitting the tools button on the remote and selecting information from the top of the list. It shows all the timers also shows every bit of info for audio and video from the disk.
The UI on this player is great and I found it to be very intuitive.
The unit boots up super quick. The tv turns on and switches to the correct input automatically. The Netflix and YouTube apps work great.
All in all, it’s a really nice player. The only thing I didn’t notice when researching was that this unit has a curved front edge. Not a deal breaker but I would prefer a straight edge.
