Solid Mid Level Player
on February 5, 2013

This is a solid mid level bluray player. While it's missing some key features that Samsung won't let me mention, it does have a decent online component and solid playback. Would definitely recommend as a second player.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: missing some online features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

a GREAT disappointment

As a DVD and Blu-Ray it works fine, slow loading but OK.
But do not purchase if you want Wi-Fi or SMART tech as it will not consistently play NETFLIX. Wireless does not work at all, period, Had to run a solid wire ethernet, to Router. Helps just a little but still can not use Netflix consistently.
Sometimes it will play Netflix, but most of time it will do nothing but "re-buffer" the stream or lock up. When it does, I use my Samsung Plasma TV with "Smart" and it works GREAT with Netflix, Why do I use the DVD player for Netflix? Night time watching to keep the sound down. Because Samsung forget to put analog audio jacks on the TV for earphones and Netflix forgot to send the audio to the TV digital audio jacks. They only send audio to the internal SPEAKERS so they can not be muted nor can earphones be used EXCEPT on the DVD player.
Using the TV on Netflix, disturbs the entire house when the movies try to blasting you out of your seat at 1AM in the morning, Answer? Forget Samsung, all of them. Laptop on lap, watch Netflilx and use earphones on the laptop if you dont mind a small screen for 'after houses watching. Samsung and Netflix are NOT there yet. They both point at each other or to my ISP but my signal is 50mps + and works great on the Samsung TV.

This Blue-ray was purchased as part of a package deal. I'm very pleased with it. I have noticed though, on some DVD's, it does seem to freeze, always at the same point. I have not updated the firmware, so I don't know if its the DVD or what, but I am going to do that very soon. I have owned this product for over 2 yrs now, and have not had any other issue with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic product

I was out shopping for a TV and Blu Ray player. I did a lot of comparison shopping around town and online. I ended up buying a Samsung 46" 3D TV and they through in the 3D blu ray and some glasses. I thought for sure it would be less than useful but as it turned out it is great. I love the smart functions and the touch screen. The TV and the Blu Ray player work so well together. If your considering a Samsung I would highly suggest this one.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
