if you need a blu-ray player then the Samsung bdj 5900 at about $100 is a bit of a no-brainer out of an image quality that is almost indistinguishable from a high-end player excellent loading speed and a friendly user interface but it has a lot of competition and there's also some things that could do better for instance the design is just odd sure it's got to have the Samsung curve but why does it have to look like corduroy pants there's also no display on the unit and not even a light to tell you if it's on or not connectivity is pretty standard with HDMI coaxial digital Ethernet and Wi-Fi as a 1080p blu-ray player it will also play 3d discs and load them really quickly in fact it's one of the fastest I've seen from ofto playing a movie in six seconds it also offers a decent selection of apps including YouTube Netflix Amazon and Hulu and responsiveness is good for a blu-ray player even though a Roku 3 will perform better and have a better selection the only thing that gives me pause in wholeheartedly recommending this player is that the Sony BDP S 5500 is better it's the same price and offers better features such as PlayStation games streaming well you could wait for 4k blu-ray to appear at the end of 2015 it's going to be really expensive and its catalogue will probably never match that of 1080p discs at $99 you really can't go wrong with the Samsung J 5900 and you can always pick up a fork a model when the number of discs starts to pick up later in 2016 this has been ty Pendlebury with cnet.com you
