    I had a Sony blue ray for three years. I traded for the Samsung blue ray. It's faster better picture better sound. Love it!

    I researched Blu Ray players in depth and decided on this one, also recommended by Consumer Reports. We had a very old player, and was surprised at the quality of the picture. What a difference! Setup in less than 5 minutes was a breeze. The size of the player is small and will fit anywhere. It's also handy that there is a single on/off button on the remote for subtitles. Also chose this one because the power button was on the front and not top of machine because we stack our equipment. The only disappointment is the lack of a light to determine if the power has been left on or off. The sale price + my previous Best Buy reward points made this a BEST deal.

    This top-rated, 3D-capable model from Samsung delivers very good overall performance. It can play 3D Blu-ray movies (when paired with a 3D TV and glasses), as well as regular Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs. Like all the models in this Ratings, it delivers excellent high-definition picture quality when playing Blu-ray discs; it also does very well with standard DVDs. One feature that sets this (and other Samsung models) apart is screen mirroring: the ability to display content from a compatible tablet, computer, or smartphone on your TV screen. It's an Internet-capable model with built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to a home network -- convenient if you don't have a nearby Ethernet jack. It provides access to online content from several services. (See Streaming Services, below, for a list of the most popular services available). Given its performance, features, and price, it's a CR Best Buy.

    We wanted dual inputs of both wireless and hard wired and this does it. It is smaller than the old unit and easy to use. It does not have a lit panel in front so sometimes we don't know if it is on, but the TV knows.

    I received this as a gift. Needed another Blue ray unit. Love to look at UTube ideas and instruction on bigger screen. Would request light indicator on front of the unit for using unit better. I open DVD tray so I can tell if unit is on. Has 3D options or is ready. Not sure I will use in the future. Smaller unit on smaller shelf with cable box. Grandkids use unit with no problem. So far so good.

    I wish this unit had an indicator light to let me know it’s on. I like to save power and don’t watch enough Blu-Rays to justify keeping the unit on when the entertainment system has power. Other than that, the picture quality is phenomenal and the unit integrates will with my Samsung 3D TV. Seamless setup.

    Had to replace my blu-ray 3d player just recently because my children got a hold of the old one. I must say this one is EXCELLENT!!!!I'm not going to name the name of the last brand but, this Samsung is SUPERIOR over that one -there's NO comparison. My husband noticed the quality of the picture right away and the 3d is theater grade. I couldn't believe the difference, from the graphics, to the crystal clear clarity, and the price was unbelievable. It's really compact too-the other one we had was pretty long and large-so if your looking for a space saver-you can't go wrong with this unit.I highly recommend it.

    this is lite and a small form factor. It is quick to load and performs well. It has apps but so does everything else so that isn't being used. The only thing I dislike is a visual indicator the unit is on. Not even a small light... nothing. Overall I'm pleased and would only change the power indicator or lack thereof.

    As the title suggests, the player feels and looks incredibly cheap. Aesthetically, I don't care for it at all. However, it was a decent price for a 3d player. It comes with the apps I wanted for streaming (netflix/amazon/vudu). I had to return the first one I purchased as, out of the box, it wouldn't read any discs, nor would it access any apps. After a chat with support, going through all the troubleshooting steps, I was told I could send it in for repair. I chose the easier route of returning and purchasing another. Second time was the charm. Its not a luxury piece of equipment, but for my needs (and the price) it's a good investment. When it's time to upgrade again, though, I'll likely switch back to Panasonic.

    Does exactly what it says. The wifi was a breeze to hook up. Netflix and Hulu stream no problem. Reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 is because I am having trouble getting the mirroring effect to connect. Other that that I recommend this product.
