I recently purchased one of these units from a third party toted as "refurbished". Having purchased many Samsung products in the past, I figured what the hay, I'm sure their refurbished products would live up to the same quality. Upon receiving this unit, the device will not play Blu Ray discs at all, and any streaming services such as Netflix or Hulu crash the device to the boot screen. Doing a factory reset and updating the firmware proved to no avail. Trying to get the unit repaired has also proven to be a hassle as well. The user interface is nice and it has alot of neat features, but if the product cannot do what it was designed to do in the first place, then it shouldn't be available to the public. Buyer Beware!!
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, not functional
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used it mainly with our Samsung TV. Liked the built in WiFi, but it's extremely slow. Don't rely on it to download any movies! It'll take forever. We like the USB port in front of the player, saves a lot of time trying to connect a video camera or portable hard drive. Good picture, simple connection to the TV (via HDMI). Great value.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Too big, slow wifi
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worst Samsung product I've ever owned!

This product appeared to be a good buy at first: good reviews & good price. Worked great initially but soon began having issues with streaming Netflix. After about 9 months it started having trouble with Blu-Rays, DVDs, AND streaming! By 12 months, it won't even open to give me back my Blu-Ray disk! Boo!!!
