I understand from reading the comments on other Samsung products that it is advisableto update the firmware over the Internet, I just ordered a Samsung 3D Plasma and the Pioneer 1020; based on your comment I will hold off on this Blue Ray player! It sounds like HDMI has some issues...

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

XKTtsueercrr is the Seller. Looks like with Visio and ASUS, they sell all kinds of models. I thought I bought the wrong thing, but the case if for external use. I bet you could install it internally by removing the case, but I wouldn't. They do have a web site you can go to by the same name. I looked and the Blu-ray wasn't listed. You can contact them through email. I can't do everything for you.

7970m and No Blu Ray included. I will check on the network card later. I believe off hand it is a Centrino 223 something like that-I remember drivers for this and for Wireless N. Also take note that it is in fact max. resolution of 1600x900 and not 1920x1080 as stated above. But judging from the looks of the the above updated information, there is more confusion. I own it thus far. Good luck on your decision.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

No, I opted for my money back and bought a new blu-ray player at Target instead. The Target price was good and the unit worked right out ofthebox. I have been pleased with most of my electronics purchases on Amazon, especially bevause you can get your money back if an item is returned.

My player doesn't upscale very well at all. And, I am hooked up using HDMI. No way does Blu-ray Disc compare to HD DVD. I used to have an HD-XA2 and an HD A35 and those players were amazing at upscaling. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between high-def and standard def.

To add to your question, you should Google different areas. here is one I found. http://reviews.cnet.com/blu-ray-players/sony-bdp-s185/4505-9991_7-35069566.html

I'd buy the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray player, read up on web-site's about what to buy, Samsung,I have one and love it!, especially that since I also have a Samung 5084 50 inch Plasma TV also, HA!, so far everything I loaded into it has played without a problem, I have a Harmony 550 remote and down loaded codes from thier site and I'm having no problems so far. Haven't used the netflex yet but I can't see a problem there, but I think you got to have to right router (wireless or hard-wired) to use anything your going to use, maybe your just thinking to hard about this crap, buy it and read about what you have bougth and learn how to use it. I have a ONKYO TX-SR605S receiver with HDMI that I run this thru, and I never would even think about buying a F'*ING SONY, I'm sorry I forgot they own half of the ""USA"" !, "OH CRAP", sorry again, Rolacoy, I'm a happy person with Samsung so far, just "read" what the hell is in the box, and I see you know how to use the internet,surf the web and you'll find just about anything you might want to know about this S!!T, hoped this had a clue to what you need, like the old saying, It's better some time's to be going without being asked.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

I'll wait too! Just came to Amazon from Consumer Reports where it is listed as recommended with price of $200.00. I was shocked when I saw the price today. Hmm, maybe for $100 more, I'll buy the higher rated Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Disc Player with many more features, in stock here at Amazon and eligible for Amazon Prime! Read the reviews on it! Also, it is just at the MSRP of $499.99!

Thanks. I already have a Toshiba A30 which works perfectly and delivers an amazing picture to my Samsung LCD. But when I get tired of the BOURNE, MATRIX, and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE trios, and the dozen other HD DVDs in the library, and i get over the fact that the unfinished/unfriendly format won the war, I may very well want to get a Blu Ray player!

I know I am going to get blasted for this. I personally think that as far as Blu-Ray standalones that this player is the best option available. That being said investing over $400 in one of these when you don't have an HDMI V1.3 display (1080p/24p) is just plain insane as you are spending a whole bunch of extra money with technology that you won't use until you upgrade your set/projector. I would go with a Toshiba A3 which has 720p/1080i capabilities and costs a whopping $118.49 shipped. If nothing else the price difference is significant enough that you could make use of it until the prices on things like the panasonic or the better HDTV sets comes down to the point where it is more affordable.

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.
