The editors didn't like

  • Though it's not a failing of the player itself
  • There isn't a particularly wide selection of 4K discs available yet

  • znakomita, wysoka jakość obrazu, przeskalowywanie DVD do 4K, dobra współpraca z telewizorami różnych marek, świetna obsługa multimediów (w tym HDR), dobra obsługa NAS-a, niezłe funkcje Smart, szybkie i ciche działanie
  • pilot niezbyt ergonomiczny, brak wyświetlacza, cena
  • Pierwszy odtwarzacz Blu-ray 4K UHD na naszym rynku zapewnia znakomite wrażenia wizualne. Ponadto UBD-K8500 jest urządzeniem, które pomimo iż pierwszej generacji, działa zaskakująco szybko i stabilnie. Choć wygląd jest nieco kontrowersyjny, a pod względem...

  • Uitstekende beeldresultaten, Dubbele HDMI-aansluiting, Zeer goede upscaling, Prima mediaspeler, Handige interface, Goed smart tv aanbod
  • Afstandsbediening te klein, Geen display, Geen Dolby Vision, Beperkt aantal titels beschikbaar, (Voorlopig) geen HDR Netflix
  • De prijs is niet mals, maar voor een premium beeldformaat dat pas geïntroduceerd is, vinden we hem wel aanvaardbaar. Wie echt voordeel wil halen uit de speler moet bovendien beschikken over een recente, HDR-compatibele tv. Heb je gewoon een Ultra HD tv...
