Strengths: Very good viewing quality, ease of use, energy efficient feature. Easy to use menus.
Weaknesses:Need to upgrade firmware out of the box, a task that is difficult for some folks.
Overall Evaluation: very good price, player does a fantastic job with blu-ray, a very good job with regular dvd. Be aware that to create the firmware update cd you must be able to burn an iso file. Other than that, a wonderful player. Energy saving feature comes on sooner than I like. I have gotten very good support from Samsung on the phone.

Strengths: Easy to operate, great picture quality, relatively inexpensive
Weaknesses:A bit slow
Overall Evaluation: This is my second purchase of this player - good product. Rememeber to update the firmware. I purchased it as a gift several months after buying one for myself. After a review of what is available on the market I decided on the same model.

Strengths: Havnt found one yet.
Weaknesses:Poor build quality
Overall Evaluation: I bought one of these players and couldnt wait to set it up. I got it home and immediatley unwrapped it. I set it up and switched it on. I first tried the film "300" and it played. I switched to off and then placed it neatly amounst my other players. I was disapointed to see that upon switching it on for a second time, the player "froze" and displayed "loading". I turned it on and off hopeing the player would sort itself out. NO! It didnt. Each time the samsung screen displayed and the player said loading. Nothing happened. I let it load several times for up to 20mins. Still nothing. I even tried other films just in case it was the film error and not the player. Still nothing. Dont buy this product. Too many problems noted by other users.

Strengths: Great Picture easy to setup, you can update the firmware on this one.
Weaknesses:noneUPDATE: 3 weeks later only plays blue ray DVDs, won't play standard DVD or even a CD. Samsung says send it them to be fixed.
Overall Evaluation: Picture looks fantastic. Sound is dolby digital. I've put 3 new blue ray discs in, and all of them have worked, and so have the old standard DVDs. Firmware can be updated through an ethernet connection for future Blue Ray formats, and any potential problems. Easy to use. UPDATE: 3 weeks later only plays blue ray DVDs, won't play standard DVDs or even a CD. Also will not reconnect to the network. Samsung says send it them to be fixed. They didn't even want to pay to ship it to them, so I had to call them back for that and complain once I received the email. At this point this gets an unacceptable rating I am out a DVD player for at least 3-4 weeks which will include shipping it to New Jersey, plus over $300 on a DVD player that's already failed once. I hope it continues to work after they send it back.
