    Samsung BD-D5700 3D Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) [2011 MODEL]

    • If you rewind for a few seconds or pause the movie, it comes back right away, but it's a pain every time you use it.
    • Takes time to set up, but worth it if you are patient.
    • 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)
    • A. Very very slow load times for the Internet apps
    • Most times I had to reset the unit at least once or twice to complete a movie because the unit froze up.
    • Don't waste your time...
    • Netflix rebuffs all the time and sometimes won't even work.
    • Just last weekend, while trying to watch a Netflix streaming movie, the stream was interrupted so many times for rebuffering that, out of shear frustration, I disconnected the Samsung and re-installed the Roku XD
    • because it works 1 time out of 4, and because it's a good blu-ray player, we haven't replaced it
    • The major impediment to using this is their old cell-phone keyboard format (press "1" slowly 3 times for c) and no option for a virtual Qwerty arrow around keyboard
    • They take a long time to load and my player crashes once in awhile when I'm using them
    • Don't waste your time or money if you want to stream Amazon Prime
    • As with all Bluray players (as I have learned) slow loading times are to be expected
    • I've read reviews that have complained about slow loading times, and the fact that it "updates" itself
    • Every time there is a problem you will have to delete al the apps you downloaded by resetting the player to factory defaults and re-download everything
    • 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
    • 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)
    • in the two months of daily usage it has lost signal approx 2 times
    • Do you get mad at Microsoft every time your home computer gets updates
    • The only real con (outside of the slow loading time which afflict all Bluray players) is that its black gloss texture is a dust magnet - but it is not something that semi regular wiping can't rememdy
