Samsung uses Deep Color in the old Blu-ray sense (when that format was to get higher bit depths, but never did).

Soooo... for the Samsung to output the correct bit depths for 8 bit Blu-ray and 10 bit UHD Blu-ray, you need to turn Deep Color off on the player.

Got it. Thank you!

Problem on HDMI cable is not over than 17.8gbps.

Wait new HDMI cable 2.1 is more over than 23.7gbps. for next year. It'll enabled 4:4:4 12bit

If am I right and on my theory.

Can anyone tell me if the amazon prime app on this player streams HDR 10?

Yes, it does.

It's the Netflix HDR app update we're waiting for.

RockyIII · 09-17-2016, 09:41 AM

I dont get HDR on Netflix...Only 4K UHD (and Dolby Vision when streaming on my TV app)

flyry · 09-17-2016, 09:06 PM

Is there no way to add different apps to the homescreen?

I find it silly that I cannot figure out a way to do this without having to go to the apps menu to open other apps.

I just want to move 2 of the "Recommended Apps" to show as the 3 that show on the home screen

RockyIII · 09-18-2016, 08:22 PM

A word of advice for those who plan to use the player to play 4k/HDR discs on non-UHD TV's. The player will downscale to 1080, but you will end up with some major black crush in regular content...
Here is a scene from Spider-Man 2 in 4K played in original 2160 resolution and then downscaled to 1080 (both displays' Brightness calculated using Disney WOW)

My player refuses to play the Target exclusive Magnificent Seven BD, (it plays in my other players) it says disc does not meet specifications then spits it out. I have latest firmware, and samsung says they'll look into it, but wonder if anyone here has tried it.. Thanks

rroeder · 09-19-2016, 05:36 PM

Mine has played every disc I've thrown at it

I was curious if folks with sound systems have to make audio sync adj's thru the player much between discs? Seems it changes more now for me

Star Wars with Dolby upmixing kicks arse btw

4k no HDR, what does that have to do with audio sync tho?

I didn't have any issues before when I had the player connected directly to TV and the 2nd HDMI to soundbar, must have something to do with the new receiver and the pass thru connection.
