Customer Reviews

Great Blu player by samsung
I was a bit apprehensive about this player but after some research i thought it was the best option for me considering the price. It is future proof, it has 1.1 profile and will be updated to 2.0 sometime later this year. I did not find loading times to slow, maybe because i have a Toshiba HD DVD EP-30 player.

First movie i played was I am legend, it looked stunning on my 1080p TV along with my audio system,. I connected it up with onkyo 606, it done true hd and DTS master HD. I then played Rambo (free copy with the player), looked stunning but froze half qay. I then downloaded the software from the samsung site took about 10 mins in total and plugged in the back usb port and wahla updated new software within 10 mins. Put Rambo back in and pic looked dstunning and no more glitches.

I have to say it is a stunning discreet looking player, menu is very user friendly and the remote is the same as any new samsung devices.

I also have a PS3 in the bedroom, put this player in my living room, it is very cheap player for blu ray considering the picture and audio is quality excellent.

I would say get this product if you want an entry level blu ray player that will play all the new features now and in the future. Maybe in a couple of years get a sony blu ray at a realy great price.

Sceptic to Advocate
We got this machine as part of a bundle with a Samsung HD LCD TV, as just another gadget for my husband to play with really. I sent for a few discs, and we were really impressed with the quality of the picture. DVD isn't a patch on this believe me. My only niggle is that isn't multi region, so I can't play some of my dvd's through it, so the dvd player has had to be kept online as well. As to the ease of set up, it must be really easy, because my husband managed it with no problems whilst I got on with the ironing!

So good I bought a second one
I bought this as I wanted a Blu Ray player for my lounge and hoped that it would fit the bill.

It exceeded my expectations so much within an hour I went back online and purchased a second player for my bedroom.
Outstanding service from Amazon as I had missed the special offer of the free BluRay disc on my first order but Brian at Customer Services was good enough to sort it out.
Thanks.
