Does it play blue ray discs? It states under the image gallery, but don't see it noted anywhere else.

I suppose you arent being funny because there is a fairly good description on amazon It plays blu ray discs besides DVDs and also media files stored on a USB drive such as mp3, mp4, wmv, avi & jpgs.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Sadly no, it doesn't However, since it has Full HD you can always download Blue Ray stuff and watch them

Tried a blue ray disc in mine and it did not play. So, no I believe it does not have a blue ray disc reader. But you cans till get High definition videos from the internet or some other site and it plays very well with the HDMI port to a HD tv.

Mine is OK. Since I bought I used in two different computers. Played blu-ray, DVD, CD, everything. I had to install a proper software first. I use Cyberlink PowerDVD 13.

No, it does not. I had problem with this All in One, because mine even doesn't read blu-ray.

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

I know that this dvd player is not Blue Ray. I have not tried to play any in there because I do not have any, so I cannot say for sure! I suppose that if it can play them, it would not be with the Blue Ray quality... This dvd player even plays dvd's that are scratched, which otherwise would not work in most other players.

It plays only DVD format (I think they call it VR mode), not any other video. It plays MP3 music and displays JPEG. That's it.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

As far as I know my drive is NOT blueray. It is labeled as 3D capable so I asume that is in DVD mode. One sure way of determining if the drive is Blue Ray is to check the drive door for the Blue Ray symbol. A "b" with a backward "C" underlined with the words "Bluray".

My experience was that with windows 8, you need additional software to play blue rays. It did play CD and DVD though.

No. It plays BluRay just fine as long as you have a program that can play BluRay. Windows media player can not and if this is all you have installed to play discs with than the disc will show as blank. I have PowerDVD from CyberLink installed and my machine plays BluRay just fine.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

I don't see a blueray logo on mine. I don't think it plays bluerays. however, the DVD drive in laptops are standard, modular, easy to replace and fairly inexpensive so you could swap it out for a blueray player of your choosing.
