Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pro's: Looks great, Small, Quiet, Fast, Remote very responsive, Syncs perfectly using DLNA, Netflix and Vudu are easy to use and look great. Neflix looks much better than on the Roku XD/S
Con's: Remote not backlit and needs to be in line of sight with player to work, Nearly impossible to use Samsung Apps (including Netflix) if there is a disk in, Dust magnet, Nothing can be placed on top of device (because it opens up)
Apps: Most notable are Netflix, Vudu, Hulu Plus. All work well and Netflix has it's own button on the remote. Most notable absences: Ted Talks and Amazon Prime instant videos.
This is a fantastic little blu-ray player. Just a few years ago, blu-ray players were huge, slow, and ran hot. This latest model is tiny and stylish. It is a dust magnet and needs to be gently wiped off every few days. The remote is not back lit but it is intuitive with very responsive controls. Integration with a Panasonic TV was seamless. I love DLNA.
I experienced cross talk once with this device. I was really shocked because I had never seen it before in my system. Prior to this I have only had Sony players. Fortunately it resolved when I restarted the player. My HDMI cables are all the latest 1.4a spec.
There was one update right out of the box. It was fast an easy to do. I have not tested the wifi because my device is connected to the internet by the ethernet.
The Smart TV and Samsung Apps are colorful and nicely laid out. There is a separate Netflix button on the remote which is a great feature. The picture quality of the Netflix movies are noticeably superior to the Roku XD/S in my opinion.
Load times are fast. I was a little suspicious at first but I think my perception problem was because I was using discs loaded with alot of previews and other material that can't be easily skipped. I compared it with other players with several different movies and found the bd-d7000 it was surprisingly faster. I don't know what the fastest player on the market is and i'm sure it will change as new chips and processors keep improving things, but load times are fine.
The machine is very quiet and you can only hear some sound if you stick your ear next to the device.
All in all, a good purchase
