This is the perfect Blue Ray #D Player is you have a Samsung TV with Built in wireless....No need to buy the higher models with built in wireless because the TV has it already. Get the same feature and quality and save a few buck.
This works perfect. Also, with the direct link built in with the TV it recognizes when it powers on and switches the input automatically.
Great features, Great menues, Great picture and sound...Overall a Great product.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Bad MKV DIVX and media playing
on May 30, 2011
Posted by: gabox001
I bought this player because it claims to be able to play mkv and divx from USB, but does it wrong, the movies are stuttering and making small pauses, also stopped from time to time to download (This did not happen does not happen with my previous Samsung BD player -P1600). This makes it very unpleasant to see a movie. It is a shame, because it has an image quality and stunning color. In the end he returned to the store for a refund.
Pro: Excellent image quality, stunning colors, Apps Samsung are very good.
Cons: Can not play media files correctly, (MKV, Divx HD)
Conclusion: Recommended for those who are only going to play BD, those interested to play media files via USB should think about another option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works like a pro

The BD-D5500 blu-ray player works very well for it's price and performance. The 3d works perfectly, the boot-up and disc load times are very fast compared to 1st & 2nd generation blu-ray players. I didn't have to update the firmware to be pleased with the player but updates are always welcome as they improve the unit every time. Picture quality from a hdmi 1.4a cable and audio quality via optical (TOSlink) cable to a home theater are amazing for the price. I highly recommend this device for any hd3d tv, especially Samsung units for the sync feature.
***Note: Sync to a Samsung PN43D490 43" PDP3D tv and works perfectly.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: unit is wi-fi ready not built-in but i don't mind
I would recommend this to a friend!

Plays almost anything

Apart from the obvious, DVDs and BluRays, it plays almost any video file you have in your AllShare connected computer.
Only read subtitles if they are in an .srt file, can't read embedded or .sub, will be nice if future software updates add this ability.

Good Blu-ray player
on August 13, 2011
Posted by: vbcoach
from Fredericksburg, PA
Expertise:Beginner
I have only watched one Blu-ray movie in 3-D, but the 3-D effects made it appear that the characters of the movie were in the room. The picture was vibrant and clear, and even the smallest details in the movie were easy to notice.
I have also watched 2-D Blu-ray movies, and the quality of the viewing experience was just as good.
The only negative with this product is the need to purchase a wireless adaptor in order to connect to a wireless network. However, software upgrades can be accomplished via flash drive content downloaded from a computer.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: need to purchase wireless adaptor
I would recommend this to a friend!

BD-D5500
on May 3, 2011
Posted by: SIMM
from Woburn, Ma.
DVD players have a come a long way going with the size they are now. It took some getting used to, comparing them to the giants they used to be. Compatible, compact, easy to read display are some of the pros. Smooth, quiet operation, and easy on-screen prompts make it a breeze to set up. I installed the HD upgrade and still a little dissapointed with the picture quality of old DVD's. Still snowy and grainy but maybe watching on a 50" Samsung "plasma" may have something to do with that. I would think a LCD screen may help. Still a great product for the value. Cd's sound great on the surround sound. The remote is easy to use. Not much else to say, other than you will not be dissapointed with this item.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: hd conversion did not help old dvd's.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Blu-Ray BD-D5500

Expertise:Intermediate
I can't imagine a better picture than the BD-D5500 has given me with not only Blu-Ray discs but also DVDs. I was completely floored with the high detail of resolution. The only reason I gave this 3 stars is the constant flickering of picture and sound when using the Apps. If all you want to do is watch a disc, i highly recommend this.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: apps not as good expected
I would recommend this to a friend!
