Avoid if you're using a Samsung player.

On both my Samsung players (BD-P1500, BD-C5500), this disc's audio playback stutters noticeably at several points in the film, mostly at or near climaxes in the action.  It's very distracting.  I bought a LG Blu-Ray player, and it plays them correctly, so this is compatibility problem, but it's one that Samsung should have addressed a year ago, as the same problem also affects part 1.

WB has been unresponsive to inquiries about the problem.  I'm not sure if the discs are out-of-spec in terms of peak bandwidth, or what, but the two Deathly Hallows discs are the only Blu-Ray discs that have misbehaved on either player.

I purchased this player a little over two years ago. Last March, it would no longer play a 3D Blu-Ray disc. I called Samsung support and was told to send it back for a $110. service charge.. I told them I could buy a new player for that price. Now, the 50" Samsung 3D TV I bought  has a black line going across it and it will only get worse. The fix is having to buy an $800 control board. See my review on their 50" 3D TV's. Samsung is putting out short life  span products at expensive prices and is doing nothing to help the poor consumers who have wasted their hard earned money on buying their piece of junk. The company is nothing but arrogant and could care less about your problems. Amazon, stop selling Samsung products, people are being robbed.

I bought this Bluray player specifically for usage with the Plex app. I found that this device is supposedly supported per the Samsung site here:

[...]

It says: "BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER
BD-F5100/ZA"

(Screenshot captured as evidence in case it gets updates without mention)

But upon receiving this device I have found that this bluray player does not include the SmartHub features and therefore you cannot install the Plex app. I contacted Samsung Support and did not receive any response.
No fault to the Merchant, but very misleading and a frustrating experience.

Not compatible with the Samsung TVs that we purchased these for.  Returned them.

My in-laws gave this Blu-ray player to me for Christmas in 2011. My family already had a dozen Blu-ray titles but no machine to play them on.

We encountered the usual title problems and yes, they're all on Warner Bros. Home Video: 300, Sherlock Holmes, etc. The Universal titles in our home library never had an issue. Now, watching HBO's "Band of Brothers" again, the Samsung player tells me, "I'm sorry, I feel the need to skip around these scenes."

And I'm like, "I've had it - you're dead to me."

I have known about Samsung's tizzy about dealing with piracy and software and firmware (that information is all over the internet!) but c'mon! Enough's enough.

While your player works, you forget about having to deal with the latest issue. Once the issue pops up, fun has left the building!

It looks like LG has a Blu-ray player with awesome reviews, so that's what we're getting. I don't even know if the Samsung BD C5500 is worth reselling: you'll just anger the next owner, and that's not cool.

I have samsung TV, phone but I will never buy a samsung blu ray player again! they break or samsung does not stay current with blu ray firmware. If you are looking to buy this for netflix blu rays you will have issues as netflix uses a codec that is not supported on some of their blu ray discs.

Also the warranty is really short on samsung blu ray players and WHEN not if you have an issue you will have to pay for repair only to have to have it repaired again.

DO NOT BUY!!! Will work great for a while but cheaply made

Most of the time im pretty unhappy with the results of the upscaling on my 40" samsung and then just 3months into owning the player my sound started cuting off about ever hour or so into the movie. You most eject the desk to get it working right..Pain!!

the Samsung website claims this unit is compatible with 304 apps, including the one i wanted (medici.tv); this is completely WRONG.  it can run only the three installed apps.  and Samsung customer service is Terrible!  don't buy this (or any other Samsung BD player) assuming the information on their site is correct; and don't expect any help from them when you discover that it isn't.

Issues using with a Samsung S5 and Samsung Big Screen. Would work then stop. Then other options would work. Then stop. I threw it all in the drawer. Ordered another - same thing. CHEAP!

I bought this player after much research, wanting the ability to watch netflix, pandora and stream videos from the computer with wifi. after 5 months it stoped playing dvds, would skip, pause and play the audio ahead of the video. After sending it into samsung 3 times and dealing with their horrible customer service...I finally got a refund and told them I'll never buy another one! I have a sony blu ray in the bed room, and will look for another sony!

NOT 2.0. Does NOT work properly with the Note series, which are capable of powering this adapter and providing HDMI output without needing to be hooked up to a power adapter.

Perhaps I have a defective one (the packaging was questionable, and there was no holographic Samsung sticker), but this unit would simply turn on (phone would say "HDMI Connected") and then turn off before any image could make it to the screen. What a disappointment!!

I advise caution when ordering this, especially from a vendor other than Amazon, as it may not be a genuine Samsung item. I certainly have my doubts!!

This is my first ever negative review of anything and I'm shocked and saddened that it's for a Samsung item. If you're just looking for a Roku alternative, this might be the device for you as it seems to have no problem with WiFi connectivity. However, if you're looking for a good Blu-ray DVD player, you might want to keep looking. Not only did the BD-F6700 I bought fail to play Blu-ray DVD's, but the replacement they sent also failed to play them! Yes, I'm sure you're thinking "That's not possible; it must have been something else, not the Samsung DVD player." Well, I tried out the player with a couple of different HDMI cables. Both cables were brand new and I tested them on other devices. Still couldn't get the Blu-ray DVD player to send DVD images to the TV. The TV itself is a Samsung(!) High-Def model and I've had Blu-ray players connected to it before with no problems. It wasn't the TV and it wasn't the cables -- it was the BD-F6700. Worse, it was the BD-F6700 twice!

The customer service, which I tried to make use of repeatedly by phone and online, was simply bad. Clearly their service employees are graded by the speed with which they dispatch callers rather than the effectiveness of their help, and it shows. I got pingponged back and forth between the DVD player and the television departments. And in the DVD department, the only solutions they could come up with were to have me check my cables and update my firmware, both of which were things I'd already done before trying the help line.

I'm sending this second BD-F6700 back, but this time I'm just getting my money returned. No way am I letting them send me another one of this model.

I've owned this product for about 2 weeks now and I'm about to return it. I own a Samsung LNT-4671F LCD TV and this Blu-Ray Player. I also updated the firmware to 2.5.

Pros:
1) Amazing upscaling for regular DVD's (only when it works). 9/10 times, I'd get some white artifacts flashing every 2-5 seconds.
2) Amazing PQ on blu-ray. Watched the dark knight and focused on the IMAX scenes. The first scene where the 2 joker wannabe's glide from a building to another building, you can notice the white building on the left hand side gets all blurry. I can't confirm if this is the disc itself or the blu-ray player. I watched the special features on the same spot and that blurry effect disappeared.
3) Fast boot-up.
4) If you have a samsung TV, the BD remote works for the TV as well. Right when you boot up the BD player, the TV finds the source automatically.

Cons:
1)As opposed to my first point on the pros section, it does have a few white artifacts flashing from time to time.
2)The video under the USB section DOES NOT WORK! tried avis, mp4, mkvs. NOTHING! not one video file worked.
3) The USB dongle for this player is waaaayy too expensive. For $80 you can get a new LG blu-ray player.
4)A small design flaw regarding the front panel. If you have a USB plugged in, that front face plate doesn't look that great.
5) No onboard memory for BD live.
6) Annoying popping sound when you hit the next button or when it transitions from one trailer to another.

Other thoughts:
I really want to keep this player if all the issues can be fixed via a firmware update. I'm still waiting for samsung to do this. 2 more days and I'm sending this back.

After researching Blu-Ray Players that would play Amazon Prime videos, I chose this model based on the reviews and questions from other purchasers of the Samsung BD-H5900 and that it was the newest model from Samsung. I was led to believe there was an app that could be downloaded to play Amazon Prime videos. Not so. I spent 90 very annoying minutes on the phone with Samsung to learn that maybe the next firm ware upgrade will include Amazon Prime video viewing. As far as a Blu Ray player, it is fine, nothing special. Set up was easy. Netflix streams fine. Be forewarned, dealing with Samsung and their overseas customer service team is beyond frustrating as are all such experiences. I was able to escalate my question stateside where I did I got an answer quickly and definitively. That experience has turned me off to Samsung products.  I also learned not to trust responses to questions from buyers/reviewers on Amazon.

I am extremely happy with the player - the looks, the one-touch controls, streaming, the speed at which disks are loaded etc. And my Netflix streaming works awesome with the player.

My problem was initially when I was trying to connect the player to my TV through a receiver. My TV is an older HDTV and supported only 1080i but the player always seem to send up 1080p to my receiver and the receiver passed it on to my TV. Since my TV could not support 1080p, there was no video, but the audio was still there.

I contacted Samsung support and was on the phone with them for several hours. But even their "Tier 2" support was horrible - they do not know enough about HDMI connections or receivers. Surprisingly,  they are not even familiar with the settings on their product or the contents of their own manual. What a shame! I gave up dealing with them and figured it out myself.

Now I am happy with a great player and a great TV (of course I am panning to get a new 1080p TV next :-))

After receiving this I hooked it up to a Roku, and it worked fine, and a PC which also worked fine, so I trashed the packaging. I also set it up with Wifi, which went fine and immediately downloaded the latest firmware update. But I did not use the WiFi for streaming or any smart features, like the Netflix app. Once I did, I experienced the same dropping of audio and audio out of sync issues with Netflix others have reported. I then hooked it up over a hardwired LAN cable to my router. The same issues continue, so this is a hardware or firmware issue.

If you plan to only use this hooked up to a Roku, PC or other device for streaming you will be OK. But if you are planning on using any of the not so Smart features, avoid this one. I can stream over wireless to a laptop or Roku and feed the video to the TV over HDMI and have 0 issues with the sound dropping out or being out of synch. Which is pretty unacceptable performance from the TV.

Samsung really screwed up on this one.

Overall, I am very disappointed in this product. If I had not disposed of the packaging already I would return it, which would be a first for any TV or Monitor I have ever bought in my life. As it is, I am stuck with it. Luckily I have enough old laptops and PC's laying around I can make do, but I was hoping to avoid having all those HDMI cables hanging off the back as it is wall mounted, and very unsightly.

This gadget is not good for the Samsung Galaxy phone. It has caused the little port cover, which makes the phone waterproof, to break off of my phone completely. It is also difficult to get the phone onto the charger, which is actually damaging the port opening. There's no casually placing it on the charger, as demonstrated in the video. I usually have to pull the charger out of the socket in order to get my phone situated to charge correctly. It's so exasperating. When I finally realized, "Hey, I should return this awful thing", Amazon tells me it is too late. This is a warning for those who have Samsung Galaxy: Stick with your old fashioned cable charger.
