Product Review: Samsung BD-FM57C Blu-Ray Player with Wi-Fi Streaming and HDMI Cable

 

I bought this as a new primary blu ray player since the Vizio player I was using is no longer doing firmware upgrades. I do not use the apps, but they are quite limited. Netflix, Pandora, and a couple others. Just as a player, however, it is fast loading for both DVDs and Blu Rays.

The initial firmware update that I had to do after set up (which is very quick and easy) took somewhere between 5-10 min total from download to install. I have played a range of older and newer blu rays on it, and I have no complaints. The blu ray discs that my Vizio player could not play, do just fine on this one. I have had no audio or video playback problems with the unit at all. The price on Amazon is a little high, so you may want to price shop, but overall I am very much satisfied with the purchase.
