4.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, May 4, 2011

This review is from: Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (Electronics)
I haven't much to add to the recent decent reviews for this product. I'll give you my $0.02 and let you decide whether or not it helps.

I bought this after the death of my beloved LG BD390 whose ability to recognize any and all disc both puzzled and frustrated me. What I loved about that player was its ability to play almost anything I burned to disc and the added convenience of Netflix streaming. What I didn't like, even when it was working, was main menu structure and the lack of sorting/searching for the Netflix app.

So flash forward to March of this year when I lost the ability to play any discs and was left with a device that could only stream Netflix (although a bad interface) and computer content (which was the spotty dnla) and I'm ready to research the purchase of something that will hopefully last longer and be more of what I want in an all around player.

With the expansion of online content I was hoping to find a player that was... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Lack of Knowledge, April 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (Electronics)
It surprises me how many negative reviews I read about Blu Ray players in general that have nothing to do with the player, but has everything to do with the person's lack of knowledge about electronics. While researching for a Blu Ray player for my parents, I came across a guy who gave a player a negative review because the player's box didn't tell him that the cable modem that he was using wasn't capable of supporting two Ethernet connected devices and that he would need a router for the player and his home computer to be hooked to the internet at the same time. It is not the Blu Ray manufactures job to inform the customer of basic facts. That would be like getting mad a car dealership for not telling a customer that the automobile needs gasoline to work correctly.

The next one that drives me crazy is when people complain about firmware updates. Wake up people. Your player is a dumbed down computer that is made especially for videos and will need updates from time to time... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, April 27, 2011
This review is from: Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (Electronics)
I bought this machine about a week ago. Was concerned about the reviews that critized the Netflix streaming but comforted by the person or two that said the firmware updates would cause it to work. Anyhow, no problems. I followed the set up instrucitons on the screen and it has been working fine. Pic is great. Streaming is too. Have viewed several movies--streaming and DVDs-- and everything seems to be as it should be. I am receiving my internet from Comcast using a Netgear N 150 router (a recent addition from them). And by the way, if the firmware was updated during installation, I wasn't aware. All I did was follow the instructions as they came along ----entered my password from Comcast ---and the one from Netflix.
I have never written a review before (it probably shows) but felt I should cause a lot of the BlueRays have been receiving some bad press. Almost went for a PS3 even though I am not a gamer...but that would have been a waste of another 100 or so.
