However, when I first took it out the box, it was a pretty much easy setup

The built-in WiFi automatically picked up my home network and setup was a breeze!

The setup was easy except for the primitive entry of text for my SSID and passwords which both are tricky for security reasons

But I've got to say I don't see how the setup could be any easier

The good:* quick setup including wifi connection* very good interface for wifi and other

As a blue ray player, it works excellent, great picture quality!

The Bluray picture is awesome, but Netflix streaming is awful to the

On the positive side, when the unit did play video, the picture was great.

And the picture is ridiculous.

* good picture quality* good netflix streaming although picture quality is not perfect* works great with my Samsung

my $.02.So far every app and feature on the unit works and works well

The best feature is probably the price for what you get.

He is very happy with this player, the features are amazing and it was very easy to set up

HDMI - Had to disable the Anynet+ feature because it did not work with any of my non-Samsung devices and it also did some weird things with power control.

The Samsung SmartHub feature works very well, although using the on-screen keyboard for Facebook is very cumbersome.

In the interim, I've spent hours on the phone with tech support where they've refused to let me use my warranty to send it in

All calls to Samsung tech support have gotten us nowhere; they've attempted to shift the blame onto Netflix, our ISP, our router.

Samsung tech support not helpful

I will say if you do need to use their tech support, it's wonderful.

Samsung put out an upgrade that completely screwed up the netflix app (the only one I use) and tech support could not help.

Never got a chance to access the Apps and use the Smart hub features

Hello,I eceived this samsund model with blu-ray (2D), the smart hub, and some samsung apps

Smart Hub freezes up about 75% of the time, requiring a pull of the power cord to reboot

Our unit was updated as of 10/12/12 but the smart hub and apps all took about 20 minutes to update themselves to the latest firmwares

About the Smart Hub, I was only interested in the Youtube app, but it's just worthless.

, I BOUGHT IT FOR THE RIDICULOUS PRICE

We researched for a blu-ray player and Amazon had a great price.

The price was great, the set up was the easiest I have ever experienced.

Buyer beware, though this player is cheaper than many, it's not worth the price!

"ready"....just build it in and be done with it), and this Samsung has the best features for the best price.

The worst DVD player ever, stopped playing DVD and blu rays, now the wireless doesn't work at all, only connects to the internet using the wired connection

you want a good Blu-Ray player that also plays videos from a USB, this one is highly recommended!

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a well priced Blu-Ray player.

This is a "smart" Blu-Ray player that has access to the same "apps" of a Samsung smart TV to include YouTube, Netflix, etc.

because it works 1 time out of 4, and because it's a good blu-ray player, we haven't replaced it

I don't believe you can setup Netflix without doing this kind of an round about way to set it up but it worked for me an streaming video works great.

Been using it for a couple of months and love it for both playing blu-ray discs as well as streaming from Netflix.

I had the same streaming issues and remote control problems it seems like virtually everyone else here did, but the most aggravating problem I have is that every few weeks or so, the playback of any DVD starts "jumping," getting progressively worse until I have to reset the player to factory settings.

The original product I had was the BD-D5700/ZA, the flaws with the original player were slow/low bandwidth streaming (NOT HD streaming), as well as tediously slow player response

I don't believe you can setup Netflix without doing this kind of an round about way to set it up but it worked for me an streaming video works great.

* good picture quality* good netflix streaming although picture quality is not perfect* works great with my Samsung

As a blue ray player, it works excellent, great picture quality!

However, BUYER BEWARE...the Samsung apps are very poor quality and pretty much ignore any and all tenants of good user experience

Blu-Ray picture about same as best DVD quality, but sound really wakes up the system

Amazing the quality of Netflix movies streamed through this player.

I would recommend this unit if you need a BluRay player and/or wifi access to the internet and don't want to spend a whole lot.

They can worry about the blame game when Costco sends this unit back to them as a defective unit.

4 transfers finally get to the "You will need to take it to a service center and they may determine that the unit is defective and replace it, or that they can repair it, or that it is operator error, in which case you will be charged a service fee

Love this unit and will get it when my other unit will dies.

The unit functions well and is easy to hook up wirelessly, but the Remote is hard to use in the

The picture quality on movies is great, however, I wouldn't recommend this product for the wifi feature.

I love this product and the fact that it updates itself

I realize I'm late to this party, but I finally had to take time to document one of the worst products I've ever purchased

If you want streaming avoid this product like the plague.

(Black)I love Samsung products, I read most of comments about this product before buying, i was nervous due to mixed reviews

If you want a good DVD player and the ability to sream Netflix, this is a good buy.

This player doesn't just have Netflix, it has Blockbuster, TOO

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a well priced Blu-Ray player.

The player is VERY sluggish, controls are slow to respond.

I would not recommend this player if you want to utilize the Netflix service on a regular basis

I wanted to wirelessly stream movies and video thru Netflix and YouTube, as well as from my computer

This player was rated very high by Consumer Reports as well as by Amazon

The ONLY app that ever had network connectivity problems is "Smart TV".I knocked a star for just how much of a complete botched mess "Smart TV" was

Yes, this thing gets one star because I actually do HATE an inanimate object.

Doesnt play standard dvds nearly as well as my $35 no name player

i don't want to sit here waiting on you when you don't have an answerVisitor: this is usually how false advertisement works...your company simply lied to consumers about this product...and i'm sure that this isn't the only oneVisitor: honestly

Samsung should be able to tell me how to do thisVisitor: otherwise this is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT

This player was rated very high by Consumer Reports as well as by Amazon

I can even give you a definitionVisitor: and cases and tell you how Samsung will lose in a court of lawVisitor: "Proof Requirement To establish that an advertisement is false, a plaintiff must prove five things: (1) a false statement of fact has been made about the advertiser's own or another person's goods, services, or commercial activity; (2) the statement either deceives or has the potential to deceive a substantial portion of its targeted audience; (3) the deception is also likely to affect the purchasing decisions of its audience; (4) the advertising involves goods or services in interstate commerce; and (5) the deception has either resulted in or is likely to result in injury to the plaintiff

The internet feature is painfully slow loading, even with a good wired connection

This player was rated very high by Consumer Reports as well as by Amazon

I've read reviews that have complained about slow loading times, and the fact that it "updates" itself

I bought this blu ray player two days back, very unhappy so far, here are my observations so far:1) super slow loading time2

Likewise, loading and navigation of the Smart Hub streaming services is also slow

both devices report frequent network errors when starting Netflix

This device has connectivity issues (my two pc's, iPad, android phone, and Roku on the same network do not)

I really love this device, but we couldn't get Netflix to connect, but we finally prevailed.

I cannot recommend this device as it is defective with its current software/firmware (current firmware and Netflix

The streaming apps (we use primarily Netflix and Vudu) lock up or performance gets so bad that it requires a power cycle (usually only straight-up unplugging the device fixes the problem).

I had no problems with this player and continue to enjoy it, I highly recommend it if you are looking for a player that is easy to use and set up

It's not worth the extra 50-60 bucks if you can't use the Internet, and the company that makes it doesn't care enough about customer satisfaction to rectify the problem.

The one annoying problem is the number of remotes involved.

Update: I found that disabling the wifi solved the choppy playback problem.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that keypress response on the remote is slow, so entering an e-mail to use Netflix in the SmartHub is measured in millenia, not seconds."UltraFastPlay" disc loading was was neither fast nor ultra

Some problems are minor (slow load times, occasional skipping) to major (not being able to play a disc at all or the disc stopping halfway though)

The Samsungs had a slow load time reviews (time it takes to power up the player and play a movie) and the Sony models apparently had some spotty WiFi video steaming (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube)

We tried to play several DVD and 2 blu-ray discs and had an issue every time, it will play good and then the volume will turn off, play them again and no volume at all

As with all Bluray players (as I have learned) slow loading times are to be expected

because it works 1 time out of 4, and because it's a good blu-ray player, we haven't replaced it

The picture is excellent (connected to Vizio 1080p via HDMI) and it does have a lot of features

There is a few second delay while connecting to Netflix and a few seconds delay to load the movie, but once loaded it streams smoothly with no pauses, just as though I were watching a DVD.

Decent Blue-ray player, however is slow to load when connecting to the internet and apps

"Can't load images" and lots of rebuffering/very slow connects

My only complaint is that the unit seems to be a little slow connecting to Netflix, but it is not a huge deal.

It takes every last ounce of self control not to throw this pos against the wall when I get the "network interference" error, which happens almost every time I use this player.

It's the same room as phone and computers that have no problem connecting, but 7/10 times Netflix (or other streaming apps like Pandora) just won't work, showing a "network interference" error

it is your own fault for not having the right networking equipment

Some times I would get the "network interference" message, when I didn't get the message, the thumbs in the menu would take minutes (yes minutes

Netflix works on every other device, wired or wireless, no problems

The internet feature is painfully slow loading, even with a good wired connection

I have found that a hard wire from my WiFi repeater to the device works best

I hard wired with a Cat5e cable and have no more issues.

In fact, where possible, I have hard wired all of my electronic devices to the internet.

Now it has split the screen in two in some videos, but I can always find another video were it doesn't do that

Another issue is the "black screen" that has happened at least three times over the two years

The screen did not render completely, and if I managed to select an application like "YouTube", the screen looked distorted and the videos did not play

you tube app works very bad, sometime hangs, sometime splits the screen into two and does not work, needed to reboot player in most of the cases to get back to main screen3

but it turns out that all those "we are having trouble playing this title right now..." messages, constant buffering issues, and missing titles in searches was a Samsung problem

On Netflix, titles display in a grid as opposed to a long line of titles in your queue.

About half of the discs I try playing have issues, especially titles from Lionsgate and 20th Century Fox

Attempting to play ANY title on Netflix now produces the error message stating "We're having trouble playing this title right now.

Any title selected in Netflix continues to display "We're having trouble playing this title right now.

Now I'm having trouble playing DVDs that I've watched many times before.

It's been a few years now and that player is giving me problems playing regular DVDs

Also, poorly transferred DVDs will not look so good because the 5700 applies minimal noise reduction that can only be slightly increased by the user
