Customer Reviews

Almost what I was looking for…

As my first Blue-ray player I liked it, but it didn’t fit what I was looking for.

I was looking forward to the applications and potential of them as well.

Pros: For the most part, the player is great with some minor details that I didn’t like.

Cons: Some updates wiped out any saved application settings. Causing me to re-register everything. Slow processing speed when accessing INTERNET and applications.

The cons are minor, but were apparent to me.

The only issue I had when connecting (wifi) to the internet the first time was that it was unsuccessful. I made sure that everything was correct, but after I restarted the player the connection worked fine.

I would recommend this product, as it does a great job as a blue-ray player and I was impressed with the NetFlix quality of play back.

Amazing first Blu Ray

This is my first Blu-ray player. I purchased my first HD tv about a year ago, also a Samsung, and have been looking out for a player that I felt would give me the most bang for my buck & more importantly would allow streaming movies. When I found this Samsung I was amazed at how much it offered. Built in wireless connection, Netflix, Blockbuster, YouTube, Pandora, Vudu & more. When I got it home I plugged it in & connected it with an HDMI cable, very simple. Set up was extremely easy. It takes you step by step & found my wireless internet connection easily. I entered my password & it now automatically connects every time I turn on the player. One bonus is that since my tv & the player are both Samsung they sync up & the remote worked for both my player & tv with no setup needed. You can set up the remote to work for any brand of tv though & the manual contains the codes needed. Setting up Netflix, Blockbuster & Vudu were easy and required little time. I’ve watched movies with Netflix & Vudu & had no problems. Quality was great on both with no interruptions. Blu-ray discs play with great quality. I’ve never owned a Blu-ray player before so I can’t comment on how load time compares but I didn’t think it was too long. Not much difference from other DVD players I have owned in the past. I also played a regular DVD & found the quality to be great. There are other free internet apps like Twitter, YouTube (I was able to play videos flawlessly), Accuweather, USA Today and various games. I have read that additional apps will be added in the future, hopefully that is true. The only thing that would make this player perfect was if they added Amazon Video on Demand & Facebook! I’ve also received updates that the player notified me of when I first set up it up & they downloaded quickly & with no problems with the wireless connection. There is a USB connection in the front. I plugged in my flash drive & was able to use it with no issues, very simple! The only thing I haven’t attempted yet is the All Share option to sync to your home computer. Overall, I am extremely happy!

What a value

I’ve had this Blu-Ray player for a few weeks now and couldn’t be happier. Setup out of the box was a snap, replacing the DVD upconverter we were previously using. Samsung picture quality is outstanding! Wireless network connection synched right away for firmware update and we were off and running in a matter of minutes. Load time is quick for a Blu – no issues yet, and DVD upconversion is up to par. Streaming NetFlix and Pandora are really fantastic and easy to use. They need to work on the remote though – a bit cumbersome.
We’re very happy we purchased this unit and would recommend to a friend.

Solid and works as stated

This is my first blu-ray player. When looking I was a bit biased towards Samsung because I have a Samsung LCD TV. The idea of one remote running multiple devices was appealing. The brand wasn’t the deciding factor, though. I have quite a few family movies on a home file server that I wanted to be able to watch, and I wanted Netflix and Pandora streaming. This device advertised them all, so I took the chance. For what it’s worth – I would have liked Hulu too. Hopefully that’ll come soon.

Before this device I was using an XBox + PlayOn media server. The device worked alright for the purpose, but I was having quite a few issues with XBox hardware, so it got retired in lieu of the 6500. Maybe my expectations were product of my XBox experience, but I was really impressed with the ease of setup with Netflix and Pandora. Movies play well, and it was rather easy (though the interface was not super-intuitive) to connect to my file server. I was also impressed that I was able to use either folder browsing, or go through the PlayOn server to select a movie off the file server. And, because of the XBox, I had Cat6 cable running to my living room – so I’m connecting via the cable and not WiFi. I attribute this to the speed of accessing media over the network.

Everything works just fine. Picture quality is excellent. And the product works as advertised.

Everything I wanted and more

Wow, this is a great device. I bought this to supplement my PS3 which had been my previous bluray/netflix workhorse.

Aesthetically, this is very slim and not deep. It is as wide as my sony receiver. It has a very attractive finish. There are no buttons but rather backlit regions on the front panel that you press. I hooked it up to my 5 port hdmi switch (also purchased from amazon) and connected to my receiver via the optical port. Setup was did not require much user intervention, just language and video format. I hooked it up to my router via an ethernet cable. It downloaded new software which didn’t take long at all.

I mainly bought this for netflix and was lured by the youtube and pandora. This thing can also access Blockbuster and Vudu. It seems that with the updatable software we could see more functionality in the future.

I’m 100% satisfied with my purchase.

Potential improvements:
1. Better tactile feedback for the navigation keys (up down left right).
2. Now this would be killer, built in hard drive for music and movies. This thing would totally kill the appletv (which i also own). Now this player can hook up to your dlna devices and multimedia files from your computer which might make this a moot point. I haven’t tried it yet but will soon.
