Samsung - Refurbished Wi-Fi Ready Blu-ray Player

I did purchase this Blu-Ray player refurbished and I am definitely pleased with it's performance. Clear images and smooth scrolling. The setup for the wireless was fairly simple. If you know how to setup your home wireless router, this is a breeze (although typing in encryption codes is hard on the remote). I had to purchase the LinkStick separately, but it was recognized without issue and considering the hours we've watched Netflix via the player, it's only dropped the connection a handful of times and for only seconds at most. The Netflix/Pandora/Vudu accessibility is very cool. You can also view images, movies on an external hard drive from it. For what I paid, this is an A+.

blu ray start up was a little slow out of the box. it is also a little louder than i thought it would be. set up is easy. found my internet and automatically downloaded latest update through wired lan. netflix and apps streamed flawlessly and fast. picture quality is A+ and i am using on a 720p. after the last download player seems less noisy and blu rays seem to load faster. for $89 w free shipping this is a no brainer unless you need wireless connection. it aready broke once, what are the chances it happens again. on a side note, if people actually read about and understood what they are buying before they spent their money this player would have higher reviews. just sayin.

I like this br player for the most part. There are a couple features I really wish it had, and if it did I would give 5 stars. I would like to have a feature to browse and add to my que in netflix, right now all you can do is view things in your instant que and play them. I also wish that they would add the hulu plus app to the app store instead of only offering that app on 1 model. other than that I have not had any major issues.

I decided to enter the world of bluray after buying my 63 inch Samsung plasma TV, which is the center of my home entertainment center. It was time to leave reg DVD behind, especially since so many of my techie friends were into Bluray, and touting its superiority. This player was very easy to set up, and along with it's many features, like Netflix, and excellent picture and sound, I highly recommend it. Its a good value!

I purchased this blue ray player as a gift for my husband with a subscription to net flix. After we set it up we realized that WiFi ready really means that you have to purchase a LAN adapter to be able to connect to the WiFi. LAN adapters are $50-100 to purchase in addition! Sorry but that is false advertising. Maybe if I read into all of the small print 4 pages later, I would have seen that you do indeed need an adapter to connect. Maybe they should change the description of this product but I will be returning it regardless. What a pain in the a**

got three for family members over xmas. 2 of the 3 shipped fine but the third was broken when i got it and went back to the store to get a new one not a referbished one. it cost me an extra 50 buck which is not bad but wish they could have done something like get me another referbished one. checked with everybody and they like their players when they started working just double check on the shipping and that they dont rattle when you get them.

Player(C5500 BD) works well on dvds but the main reason I bought this was for Netflix access. This was direct wired but could not connect. The Samsung website trouble shooter advises this is a defect/repair issue and needs to be sent in...so this NEW player is going back to the STORE.. Obviously not happy

I could care less about the reason for a "Factory-Refurbished" stamp, this player was delivered to my doorstep, under the estimated shipping time, unblemished and included all the accessories that come with the retail packaging..only my box was a dull brown shipping vessel. For some a red flag immediately flies when they see "Factory Refurbished" or "reconditioned".....me, well I have a fully functional, simple to install, TWICE INSPECTED Blu-Ray/DVD Internet Ready multimedia player. A succesful business model most certainly would NOT include any product that had more than one visit back to the factory for necessary improvements. The Samsung Group knows that, and measures are in place to insure the refurbished product is at peak working condition. I feel rewarded because it performs flawlessly since we fired it up X-mas Eve! One point of contention is the akward interface setting up the Internet stream. Maybe it's unavoidable but typing set-up passwords and usernames from the remote was a slow adventure. I would feel confident in recommending this!
