You're not missing much, I got so impatient I went and blew the almost 700.00$ bucks here in Canada for a Samsung UBD-K8500. I use my HTPC, MPC-HC, MadVR and a Sony 300ES 4K projector.
I could not see any real difference with "X-Men, The Days of Future Past". With "Chappie" (which was drawn from a 4K master) I noticed that the trees and the beginning of scene 3 were sharper _ the 1080p Blu-ray with my HTPC was not as sharp _ almost 720p resolution, that was just with the trees though, everything else appeared just as clear and sharp as the 2160p Blu-ray as with the 1080p version.
No difference with the "Peanuts Movie" either. If you have HDR and a display that can make use of the wider colour pallet, then apparently that is more noticeable, but I have been told that these early UHD releases are still using REC.709 colour space, like the old Blu-rays.
I'm returning the Samsung player.
If and or when Cyberlink does release a version that will play UHD discs, I will buy it, mainly because I can buy an AMD video card and use its Smooth Motion feature _ my 300es doesn't have it's Smoothe Motion function at 2160p.
And the other problem with that is AMD has no video card (yet ???) that is HDCP 2.2 enabled or an HDMI port that is HDMI 2.0 enabled.
There was so much frame judder on X-Men, it pretty much spoiled the movie for me.
