                Last year's UBD-K8500 will be replaced by two new players. There are no major new features and Samsung continues to ignore the Dolby Vision HDR format, instead opting for the base HDR10 format. M8500 is more or less an updated version of last year's K8500, whereas M9500 offers some new features.Jul 5, 2017
