Overview
Playing Ultra HD discs at full resolution with HDR, this renewed (refurbished) Samsung player also upscales older Blu-rays toward UHD. Wi-Fi connects it to the network, and a curved body matches Samsung curved TVs.
Native ultra HD discs with HDR and Atmos make the most of a large modern TV. The listing names no warranty, remote or cables for this renewed unit, so ask the seller before buying.
Who it's for
Film collectors with an ultra HD TV and an Atmos sound system get native disc quality. Viewers on a full HD screen gain little from a UHD player.
Pros and cons
- Native 4K disc playback
- HDR for brighter highlights
- Upscales older discs
- Dolby Atmos support
- Renewed unit, not new
- Warranty not stated
- Included accessories not listed
- Heavier box than a basic player
Performance notes
Picture gains depend on the TV: HDR and full ultra HD only show on a screen that supports them. Upscaling adds pixels to older discs but cannot add detail the source lacks. Atmos height effects need a sound system that decodes the format.
