  • Pros:-Nice picture qualityCons:-NOISY-There are no "buttons," but touch-sensitive icons that are easy to hit unintentionally-Inconsistent playback (sometimes it would save my viewing position, sometimes it would go back to the main menu)-Plastic

Reviews around price (4.49 of 5)

  • I recommend for purchase this item as the price of the item is very reasonable.
  • I wanted a good disc player and got a good price and just did not pay any attention to what it works on.
  • It's disappointing that the products second biggest feature is so totally broken at such an expensive price point.
  • Since our aging DVD player needed replacing, it seemed like a good way to kill two birds with one stone, and the price was reasonable
  • For these reasons, as well as pricing (only the most expensive unit has an ethernet port) and reliability issues, I would not recommend any of these Roku units to anyone

Reviews around ray (4.29 of 5)

  • Unstable firmware - blu ray player intermittently reboots when watching movies and running apps.
  • Yes, this is a great Blu-ray player, but the greatest it's greatest feature is its wide array of apps
  • During the period that I owned it, I thought it was an incredible blu-ray player.
  • Great smart blu-ray player, however I can't figure how to get all share to work with my PC
  • I love all the Features and apps on this blu ray player, but I can't get the damn netflix to work, and that's the main reason I got the damn blu ray player!!!!

Reviews around dvd (4.28 of 5)

  • The DVD player I replaced played all the DVD's I created in Premiere Elements, I had to re-burn all the DVD's I made in Premiere Elements because the original's would not play
  • This smart DVD player has a ton of features, but comes with baggage
  • I have a lot of videos in that format that played fine on my old cheap DVD player but this new fancy one can't seem to handle them
  • I made the mistake of putting a blu ray DVD rental in and it wouldn't come back on or open up
  • Not too crazy about the layout of the smart menu on this device and just a couple months after we bought it, the system will freeze whatever DVD, Blu-Ray, or Netflix show/movie you are watching and then turn itself off and back on

Reviews around load (4.11 of 5)

  • Its fast loading and provides excellent picture quality
  • On the good side, the picture was beautiful and discs loaded fast
  • Then there are the slow loading apps, which Samsung just announced it is no longer going to support or make available or something
  • Crystal clear picture, fast loading, with several on line channels built in.
  • It probably has a few less possible programs than the best of the Roku devices, but they've all loaded well, and no programming has choked as yet

  • It runs apps like NetFlix, VUDU, YouTube, and many more
  • It connected to my wi-fi router with no problem, and it has a full-blown web browser and many apps

Reviews around device (3.56 of 5)

  • I would not recommend this device to ANYONE, it was a huge disappointment.
  • However, if you ever plan to use the internet with it then this device will be your biggest nightmare.
  • It really should have an eject button next to the tray, but the device works well with our Sammy TV.
  • Have Reset the device to factory defaults a number of times
  • On the other hand, if you mostly watch BluRays and your streaming is primarily Netflix, this is a great device.

Reviews around browser (2.09 of 5)

  • If, on the other hand, you want to use the Wi-Fi and internet browser...SLOW
  • The browser works but clunky, not why i own the machine anyway
  • i like the fact this player has amazon and netflex video service on it, the browser is very poor when you try and watch some videos online it will drop out back to the app hub, awesome!
  • The browser is more trouble than it's worth without them.
  • Web Browser: Once I connected a wireless keyboard/trackpad via the USB port, the browser is easy to useVideo Files: So far I've played AVI, MKV, MP4, and WMV files that were loaded on a usb flash drive.

Reviews around bite (1.95 of 5)

  • My future attempts will be a bit more careful, but its so hard to focus on buttons when you are in the "zone".
  • A bit slower than I'd like to load applications, but I've nothing to compare it to, it might be faster than others.
  • I like that it has a lot of choices for apps, however the interface is just a bit clunky and laggy, Samsung should work on that
  • Sure, XBMC is handy and slick, but support for online services like Netflix, Crackle, and others of that sort is a bit of a mess, requiring you to essentially exit XBMC and load them in a web browser
  • Only drawback was no bluray and it tended to choke with dvds that are really extended length (like 4 episodes on one disk) and it was a bit loud on playback (mostly while choking on the extended DVDS)

  • All these websites tell you not to waste your money on expensive HDMI cables that they are all the same.
  • However, those cables (only one needed for HDMI connectivity) are typically cheap on Amazon, so that was not a
  • I cannot be 100 percent certain that the cable was the problem since the item was already returned, so I upgraded my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.
  • My cables are about 4 years old but worked with all my other devices and computer on my previous TV.
  • There are a lot of web sites that state the cheap HDMI cables are just as good as the expensive ones.
