I bought this player because of the high ratings it got on Cnet, but I totally regret it now. When it works, it's fast and has access to plenty of streaming sources. When it works. All too often, though, it just stops working and loses connection to the streaming source for no apparent reason.

it's fast; it's got lots of online apps

it's unreliable as all heck

They may not be giving us actual 4K capable spinners, we're awaiting the BDA and movie studios advices on that one, but there will be many a player capable of scaling up to a 3840 x 2160p resolution emerging in 2014.

Perfect 2D & 3D Blu-ray playback; Brilliant scaling of DVDs; Tons of video apps; Quick to load discs; Fantastic price

Limited connections; Uninspiring design

The Samsung BD-H6500 is a top-rated Blu-Ray player with 3D support and UHD/4K upscaling. Smart TV functionality is included, plus Wi-Fi and ethernet connectivity, and 7.1 channel optical audio output. It's outstanding value at just over £100.

Last week I was playing poker with a bunch of guys and our topic of conversation turned to home theater. I was asked what I was currently reviewing, and when I mentioned the Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-ray player, one of my friends was shocked. "They're still selling Blu-ray players! Why?

The Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-ray Disc Player is compact and unassuming, but don't let that fool you - it provides 2D and 3D playback of Blu-ray Discs, DVD, and CD, as well 1080p and 4K upscaling when used with a 4K UltraHD TV .

Let me get right to the point. This player has exceptional HD picture quality (I have not tested for 3D or UHD upconversion). Avatar (my reference movie for picture evaluation) almost literally jumped off the screen.

Control buttons on top of unit causes occaision unintended responses

I just bought this product for use mainly to play AVI, MKV, etc video files instead of having to burn them to Bluray disks or DVDs. It plays the files great, with great quality.

Works great, easy to use while providing access to streaming services. It also is attractive and in a very small package. Definitely recommend.
