I have LG 4K 3D OLED TV along with 7.2 channel A/V receiver. Player's routed thru receiver into TV. I have 4 blu-ray UHD 3D, around 7 4K blu-ray and tons of non-4K blu-ray / DVDs. All of them worked.
VIDEO Quality: 3D or 4K is detected by TV immediately. video output set to 4K quality. My A/V receiver video is marked as pass-thru. I have tried 4K blu-ray and display is phenomenal. Then I took normal blu-ray up converted by the player vs no up conversion by player. In case no up conversion, conversion is being done by TV. TV up conversion was slightly better in terms of buffer/jitters for fast movement scenes but that's expected. Overall impressed with the up conversion of this player.
AUDIO - I use - for audio PCM which I determined to be lossless (some players send PCM but loosy) and found my A/V receiver happily using the correct Codec. Quality : impressive.
User Interface: PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Hoorah. None of those streaming apps, etc 4 choices: Movies, Photos, Music, Settings. 1st. three - accessible via USB device if connected (player has a USB port up front) or some MHL (no idea). Settings - has network connection but will be used in case of firmware upgrades of BD Live content only. No wireless.
Construction: Full metal body and silent with none of the big LED lights up front. Another good thing - the provided power cord is long, remote comes with battery (very rare these days).
Negatives: Does not support network music/video servers and the remote is very small. Thankfully, could use my LG TV magic remote to control this player.
