Bought this last time around. For my application, bedroom use, it works good. Wi-fi connection is good, hasn’t failed yet. Apps run slow so if you are someone that needs instant gratification this is not the player for you.
one more, if your looking for comments from non-woot-off or woot plus, when it filled it for sellout.woot afternoon after another product sold out–9 comments
That is correct. Amazon prime video is NOT supported on this unit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices
The only Samsung Blu-ray that support Amazon VOD are:
BD-F5900
BD-F7500
The model today is the
BD-E5900
I still bought one though. This player is normally going for $120-$140. It is 3D capable (a function I probably won’t use- but a premium function anyway). I use Netflix, so the Amazon VOD isn’t a big deal for me. I like the fact that it has a front display- many of the cheaper units omit that now.
So basically this is a great deal that I highly recommend …unless you need to have Amazon video on demand- in that case this will NOT work.
The description states that for 3D viewing “Active glasses and content required”. It will work with Passive 3D TVs as well. I’ve got this player hooked up to my 47" Vizio Razor Smart TV with Theater 3D. The 3D viewing experience is no different than on my PS3 ~ looks great!
The pre-installed Samsung Store offers streaming 3D movies to buy or rent.
An Amazon app would be nice but is not necessary. Maybe. In theory, you can stream content by accessing your Amazon account using the browser. I say “in theory” because the player seems to get stuck in forever load mode once I select my video. I am suspecting my inferior wifi set up to be the the problem. Netflix does stream as it should.
I am using a USB Logitech keyboard with the player and it works fine.
I bought this player during the last Woot-Off and really, really like it. We don’t know each other well enough to call it “love” just yet.
Technically, Woot, the “r” in “Blu-ray” is supposed to be lower-case, so either your writeup isn’t quite clever enough or you missed an opportunity for some seriously esoteric humor. Nevertheless, it was a solid effort, and I would probably enjoy the Blur-Ray player.
when they say “smart phone compatible” they mean exclusively Samsung phones. Effing richard heads. so the groovy phone control & streaming is only available if paired with shitesung phones
