But as for the Samsung products, when they work, its beautiful, so nice to use the tv remote to control the blu-ray player, and all the optimal picture settings and 3-D settings work automatically because of the Samsung connection

Although the Samsung has a great Blu-Ray/DVD picture, the wi-fi performance leaves MUCH to be desired.

The Blu Ray player is very good and easy to use, the picture is great too & I love the 3D effect.

However, I DO know from experience that BD-Wise produces the best possible picture on my top-of-the-line Samsung D8000 TV, regardless of the source.

PLAYING YOUR OLDER DVDsAll, or nearly all, current Blu-ray players of any brand can play DVDs (i.e., non-Blu-ray compact disk movies), and in fact, produce a better picture (on an HD TV) than a DVD player.

this is very hard to find nowadays,although not play 3d through that cableIt has the best and excellent Remote control app for android phones with QWERTY keyboard

Impressive touch controls, makes the most of my 3d tv with 3d capabilities, Great Product for the price, perfect quality, handy control compatible with my Samsung Smart TV

You don't need "wireless" connection in order to support the remote control, 3D glasses

The controls are illuminated, and so, easy to operate even in a dark room, but the controls are identified only by symbols.

Interestingly enough, if I connect the USB stick directly to the TV I get very good quality

How many cents did they save by omitting this feature?Bottom-line: If you want the 3D BluRay capability and own a Samsung TV you will enjoy the picture quality of the combination, although I suspect that cheaper BlueRay players will not be much worse in this department

Indeed, the DB-D5500 does such a good job of enhancing (standard low-definition) DVDs, that replacing your DVD library with corresonding Blu-ray versions, or paying extra for Blu-ray disk (e.g., from Netflix) may not noticeably improve your viewing quality.

Good disk playability (tried both blue ray discs and 3d blue ray discs) and no problems seen on that area

[2011 MODEL] is a fine Blu-Ray and DVD player, but needs lots of improvement for the streaming apps and a networking problem.

the Blu-ray players which can fully support the latest TV features (e.g., 3D

Well ,, I give this blue ray 3D a 4 stars as being refurbuish,,But don't get me wrong ,,it works GREAT !!

Too much hassle to just watch a DVD.

It plays regular DVD's, Blu-Ray's and 3-D movies very well

This must be an issue caused by a relatively recent Smart Hub update that has now rendered Smart Hub, dumb

However, when trying to use the built-in Smart Hub or Samsung Apps, performance is TERRIBLE

Still "Installing..." whenever we try to use Smart Hub for Pandora or other apps

then it would no longer access the Smart hub which is how you get to Netflix and the internet etc

The main issue is with the Internet applications - Smart Hub

i love this blu-ray disc player for the picture and 3d it has good apps with samsungthe

this is very hard to find nowadays,although not play 3d through that cableIt has the best and excellent Remote control app for android phones with QWERTY keyboard

Cons are that the apps are terribly slow, one must manually select DTS or DD encode in the audio settings before watching a movie which is annoying manual work that must be done .

has nice apps such as blockbuster,vudu, yabazaam 3d, and youtube

So far it has been a great player with fast loading and nice apps.

Ignore the message, turn off your TV, turn it on and try again.

WIS09ABGN2 USB LAN Adapter FOR SAMSUNG 2009 - 2010 & 2011 BLU-RAY PLAYERS, 2010 & 2011 SAMSUNG TVs---a non-Samsung wireless adapter will NOT work.

If you use port #1, that seems to confuse the TV, and makes it sometimes difficult to select a "source"

I bought several blu-ray players as gifts as well as a Samsung Smart TV.

Like all products from Samsung and even better cause we got it free when we bought our Samsung 60" smart tv

All the other features worked just fine for me, Netflix worked like a charm wirelessly and movies generally loaded up at decent speeds

the Blu-ray players which can fully support the latest TV features (e.g., 3D

It plays all disc formats that I know of and it has the smart features to stream whatever you would like.

Most features are redundant because they are already available on your TV (if it is only a few years old)---but a few key features (such as 3D) require support on BOTH the player and the TV.

But as for the Samsung products, when they work, its beautiful, so nice to use the tv remote to control the blu-ray player, and all the optimal picture settings and 3-D settings work automatically because of the Samsung connection

Like I said before, the Samsung does its job for the most part (playing netflix at night while I lay in bed trying to fall asleep),

Blame Samsung engineers, blame your internet provider, blame your local telephone service or cable provider, blame your DSL box, blame Netflix for not supplying sufficient bandwidth, blame sunspots (which interfere with wireless transmissions), blame your router, blame your neighbor's WiFi for interfering with yours, blame your neighbors for all checking their email at 6PM, blame your neighbors for hacking into your WiFi because you were too lazy to chose a hard-to-hack WEP code, blame your son for using up all your bandwidth playing online videogames, blame global warming (no reason), blame your ethernet connection, blame your ethernet cables, blame your HIMI cables (which may be too long or an old version), blame those horrible flourescent light bulbs the Government is forcing us to buy (which cause radio-wave interference)----but don't blame the BD-D5000.

DVDs work fine, as well as Netflix works acceptably but not ideally, hence the three stars

Great product for the cost, and didn't even know it has a "smart" capability which allows the use of programs like Netflix... which was just super :)

Truth is, I have no idea if this is a good product or not or as to how it performs

Impressive touch controls, makes the most of my 3d tv with 3d capabilities, Great Product for the price, perfect quality, handy control compatible with my Samsung Smart TV

Samsung has permanently lost me as a customer with their shoddy product and terrible customer service

If you're building your 3D entertainment center this is a great player for you.

If you have the same setup as me, that is the TV connected to your LAN but NOT your bluray player, then turn off the player before trying to connect to the internet (for Netflix, etc.), if the player is "on", the player will look for an internet connection and fail to find one

This is because,to my surprise and for reasons that I do not have enough technical savvy to explain, I quickly discovered that this player and (I suspect) most similar 3D Blu-ray players, are not compatible with my 5-year old Insignia brand (manufactured by LG) 42" plasma tv (720p)

This player works just fine, but It didn't come with the

This player "accepted" new blu ray discs but refused to play them a second time.

The 3-D is great

This player constantly looses its code for connecting to Netflix and I have to go online and enter a new code to activate the player for my account.

It plays regular DVD's, Blu-Ray's and 3-D movies very well

I am not sure what specific BD title(s) the Dec 20, 2011 firmware update for the D5500 was supposed to fix, because it sure does not help the playback issues with Cars

Netflix app does not work, complains network connection not available

Like I said before, the Samsung does its job for the most part (playing netflix at night while I lay in bed trying to fall asleep),

Since the firmware updates, the interface behaves a lot better though still a little clunky

The interface is a little slow and the allshare software is lacking, but the player works good.

But I dislike this Samsung user interface for streaming services EVEN FAR MORE.I could take the initial "HITS" of time-consuming setup, but not on the daily use

I have bought three of this item for me and my two older sons, and from the first touch coming the big crash, I didn't think that is an item with unique voltage 110v only, because I well know that all electronic devices manufacturing now with dual electric voltage, 110-220v

could hope forCons:1)The ABSOLUTE WORST user interface for streaming services:2

When I bought the Samsung, Sony also had a reputation for such playground games, and there didn't seem to be any Netflix players other than maybe Roku that didn't tempt one to let the dog have a go at it or maybe throw it through an annoying neighbor's window.

Connection problems are VERY UNLIKELY to be the player's fault

However MY player is NOT connected to the internet, and therefore CANNOT POSSIBLY be the source of my connection problem.

CONNECTION PROBLEMSFunny thing, most of those really scathing reviews are about connection problems.

I didn't have a choice in getting another one, else based on the other horrible reviews here, I would have.

CONNECTION PROBLEMSFunny thing, most of those really scathing reviews are about connection problems.

I still see people posting negative reviews, but they also seem to be reviewing streaming and netflix not the actual DVD playback

Instead of fantasizing about taking the player back to the store and cursing out the salesclerk, or writing a REALLY scathing review for Amazon, just take a prosiac, and resign yourself to the fact that it you'll have to spend several hours studying the manual and a few more hours doing the setup.

ERROR MESSAGESSometimes after you've set up your internet connection and all is well, you'll get a message that you have no internet connection, or the "Network Interference" message; and offering you the opportunity to set up a connection

First, occasionally, the box gives you a network error - something like network not available.

Netflix app does not work, complains network connection not available

I bought this product and it worked for two days and on the third day I was not able to connect to the internet as I got network interference issue

Nothing helped, it would always give that same old "Network Interference" error message
