4k blu ray player due march by samsung!

[nugget2014]

Not a good idea to buy a first generation player anyway. In the rush to bring them into the market, corners will be cut.

depends if i can wait a whole year for a 4k player. probably not

Will the Samsung UHD blu ray player carry the Ultra HD premium certificate like the Panasonic?

That's going to depend on what is in the MKV which is only a container. Most (if we are talking BD rips) will be H264 plus one of several audio codecs but typically AAC or AC3 for best compatability and there are not many H265 players and even fewer TVs which will decode H265 natively although more a question for the computer based media forum. plus you can have the audio passed through to avoid transcoding bottlenecks depending on your set up.
