Samsung's Ultra HD Blu-ray player champions a 4K, disc-based future

2015-09-03
so one of the biggest problems with 4k TVs currently is that there isn't a whole lot of actual 4k stuff to watch on them here's a gadget that could solve that problem however it's an Ultra HD blu-ray player from Samsung so ultra HD blu-ray is set to be the next disc format that takes over from blu-ray the headline feature is that you'll get four times as many pixels as you would from a standard HD blu-ray but Samsung is also talking about lots of other improvements around color reproduction so the clips that they've got playing here at Samsung stand looked really good but we are going to wait until we get this thing into our labs for the full review before we can really really give the verdict from what caliber of image quality this thing is spitting out but finally let's also mention one little thing about the design which is at the front of this box itself it's curved in samsung says that that is to match the curved nature of its TVs so you can expect to see this thing going on sale next year there's no exact word on pricing yet though Samsung has told us that it's going to be aiming for under $500 the bigger question though right now is whether this new physical disc format can take off given the surge in popularity of streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime instant video which offered great convenience even if the video is sometimes of a slightly lower resolution so let us know what you think about 4k and whether you're excited about Ultra HD blu-ray or not and don't forget to check out Sina TOCOM slash Eva for much much more you
