nope. and when I researched TVs with Blu-ray, there were only like a couple that I could find and they had bad reviews.

No prob. I think that they won't be making too many Blu-ray tvs because the wave of the future is probably streaming movies online...

Joe the Anime Fan,Yes, it can play Blu-ray movies. It comes with Blu-ray compatible PowerDVD 10 software for playback.

Yes it burns DVD, and no, it won't play Blu Ray, it doesn't matter if it has HDMI, it needs a Blu Ray drive to play it.

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.* *Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

Yes, other models have a bluray player, but this one doesn't. It will play DVD movies and music from CD.

If you are asking if it plays the obsolete HD-DVD *format* that was briefly produced in 2006/07, the answer is no.However, all Blu-ray players will play *standard* DVD and upconvert them to simulated high definition.

I'm not sure if it play BluRay discs (I don't own any), but it does play both the English & Australian DVDs we have.

The only thing I use mine for is to play regular DVD's. It is supposed to play blu-ray, however mine will not play them. The streaming function is pretty bad too. I would not recommend this player.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

The does not have a CD or DVD or Blu-ray drive so will not play Blu-ray dics. I bought a portable disc drive to burn CD's / DVD's that attaches via USB.

Yes, but it does not have software to decode blu-rays and dvds you buy from the store. You must purchase separate software for this, or if you are techy, you can find freeware to download for decoding, too.

Yes and burns DVD's & CD's, only plays blue ray. I've had mine since 2012, very good quality/reliability. It came with a good software package as well.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

Yes, it does. All blu-ray players should be able to play both formats. You just can't play a blu-ray in a standard dvd player.

It will play blu ray movies if there is a blu ray player connected to it. The sound will be much better than if the player is connected only to the TV. The unit will not play anything on its own.

It doesn't appear to be able to with the software provided. You probably can get it to play if you purchase something like Arcsoft's total media player software, another $60 or so. I gave up after downloading few freeware programs and it still wouldn't play commerial Blu-ray discs & returned the player, as the item's decriptions never mentioned that problem beforehand.

It plays all region dvd's but not blu ray's.I bought it because I have several dvd's from France that I wanted to play and they work fine. Hope that helps.Thanks
