Lenses too dark, December 14, 2011

Glasses are well made but lenses are too dark; therefore, 3-D videos viewed with them are too dark. Disappointed and rarely use them.

I bought this machine about a week ago. Was concerned about the reviews that critized the Netflix streaming but comforted by the person or two that said the firmware updates would cause it to work. Anyhow, no problems. I followed the set up instrucitons on the screen and it has been working fine. Pic is great. Streaming is too. Have viewed several movies--streaming and DVDs-- and everything seems to be as it should be. I am receiving my internet from Comcast using a Netgear N 150 router (a recent addition from them). And by the way, if the firmware was updated during installation, I wasn't aware. All I did was follow the instructions as they came along ----entered my password from Comcast ---and the one from Netflix.
I have never written a review before (it probably shows) but felt I should cause a lot of the BlueRays have been receiving some bad press. Almost went for a PS3 even though I am not a gamer...but that would have been a waste of another 100 or so.
Only negative is the remote. Too many buttons. Obviously not a big deal and at some point I may remember what I need to push without looking.

Not Bad for What You're Paying, April 27, 2010

I had a video game that could display the graphics in 3D. I didn't know how deeply I'd go into 3D images such as movies on the Internet, etc, so I opted for an inexpensive pair of anaglyph glasses.

The red and blue film is set in white cardboard. You wrap the temple pieces around both ears and you are good to go. There was some slight ghosting on some of the applications I viewed these glasses through but nothing really bad. I suspect that the ghosting was more due to the primary images being slightly off in color rather than the fault of the glasses.

For something almost less than a buck, these glasses should suit your needs for general red/blue 3D viewing. There are some complaints about these units being somewhat flimsy but you get what you pay for, so expectations for these glasses may be somewhat unreasonable considering the price point of these things.

Lack of Knowledge, April 24, 2011

This review is from: Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (Electronics)

It surprises me how many negative reviews I read about Blu Ray players in general that have nothing to do with the player, but has everything to do with the person's lack of knowledge about electronics. While researching for a Blu Ray player for my parents, I came across a guy who gave a player a negative review because the player's box didn't tell him that the cable modem that he was using wasn't capable of supporting two Ethernet connected devices and that he would need a router for the player and his home computer to be hooked to the internet at the same time. It is not the Blu Ray manufactures job to inform the customer of basic facts. That would be like getting mad a car dealership for not telling a customer that the automobile needs gasoline to work correctly.

The next one that drives me crazy is when people complain about firmware updates. Wake up people. Your player is a dumbed down computer that is made especially for videos and will need updates from time to time. Do you get mad at Microsoft every time your home computer gets updates? No, you don't. It may be annoying, but you do it anyways because you know it will make your computer run better. Also, whining about needing an update right out of the box is plain stupid. In fact, it makes me feel more secure about my purchase. It lets me know that the manufacturer is still working to make my device better even after they have my money. And it lets me know that if any new apps are released, my player may be able to handle them and, once again, make my home theater experience better.

The Samsung BD-D5700 was purchased because of the Built-in WiFi (I really have no idea why they even make WiFi Ready Players). I researched and compared all of the mid-priced Blu Ray players with Built-in WiFi and it came down to either a Samsung or Sony. I wanted the Hulu Plus App and these were the only two with that option. Both the Samsung and Sony models had decent reviews but each had a few negative aspects. The Samsungs had a slow load time reviews (time it takes to power up the player and play a movie) and the Sony models apparently had some spotty WiFi video steaming (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube). This player was going to be used at my parents on an N wireless router, so the Sonys were out. But a few weeks later I ended up buying a Sony that I hooked up to a hard line in my own house. Both work amazingly and have not had a single issue. But then I knew what situation each was going to be used for and planned ahead. And just so this review is complete, the Samsung does not load as fast as the Sony, but it is nowhere near the wait time as the earlier Blu Ray players.

Better than expected, May 4, 2011

This review is from: Samsung BD-D5700 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (Electronics)

I haven't much to add to the recent decent reviews for this product. I'll give you my $0.02 and let you decide whether or not it helps.

I bought this after the death of my beloved LG BD390 whose ability to recognize any and all disc both puzzled and frustrated me. What I loved about that player was its ability to play almost anything I burned to disc and the added convenience of Netflix streaming. What I didn't like, even when it was working, was main menu structure and the lack of sorting/searching for the Netflix app.

So flash forward to March of this year when I lost the ability to play any discs and was left with a device that could only stream Netflix (although a bad interface) and computer content (which was the spotty dnla) and I'm ready to research the purchase of something that will hopefully last longer and be more of what I want in an all around player.

With the expansion of online content I was hoping to find a player that was essentially a Roku box with the ability of playing blu-ray discs...and be able to play a host of other video filetypes (divx, avi, mp4, mkv etc) from streaming and from files burned to a data disc. I know that was a lot to ask, but I was hoping that this year's LG offering would be the ticket. After reading reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere, I see that LG is having difficulty implementing their online content (i.e. hulu plus etc. not coming online--something I was looking forward to adding since I don't subscribe to cable) and factoring in my 1.5 year short-lived player, I wasn't too happy to jump back on the bandwagon. So I turned toward Sony and Samsung (my TV is a Sammy and the Anynet feature was icing on the deciding-factor-cake). Sony has a good reputation and feature set (Netflix, Hulu+, dnla, etc.) however, they have limitations on what filetypes are compatibile with the player (for me, this was important since I have hundreds of compressed video for my kids that we use on the TV and portable devices).

So, stacking up the feature lists, this player was ahead...stacking up the reviews, I should wait until 2012 to buy a player. Well, I'm somewhat impatient and decided to give Samsung the benefit of doubt.

It's been a month, and so far so good. The online content does take some time to access. However, it works...just be patient; the dedicated Netflix button works well. I currently have Hulu+, Vudu, Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix, Picaso, Pandora, et al. all working fine with no problems with the high definition content. And having them all work, albeit slower interface than any computer, is better then having a faster interface with none or only a few of them working. Plus, the Netflix interface lets you search and see new arrivals! I find that I really like the Hulu+ interface and find myself using that service more and more. I do hope that Amazon VOD becomes available, but currently have enough to keep me occupied for the forseeable future.

Well, I won't be purchasing the Roku & Blu-ray combo. I don't need to. Wait, what about discs you say; afterall this is a blu-ray player: Blu-ray looks fantastic (I only wish one could skip all the ads from the Netflix discs), all content streaming or otherwise has worked (mkv, divx, etc.) and my kids are happy about that. I'll update this review if things change.

My daughter has some vision issues and the doctor recommend coloring exercises while wearing red-cyan glasses to help her pay attention to using her eyes together. I bought every pair of glasses Amazon sells for under $10, and liked these the best by far. These glasses were the only ones with the cyan (blue) side dark enough to nearly eliminate the blue ghosting in printed images. In many of the others, the blue side was too light compared to the red.

I also checked out some 3D red/cyan movies on the web, and these seemed to work fine for movies as well. By paying attention I was able to notice the red-side ghosting on screen that other reviewers have mentioned, but when I held different pairs of glasses to my eyes, when red ghosting was present with these glasses it was also present with other styles of glasses.

Not NVidia brand.

I bought two pairs of 3D glasses at the same time off Amazon: one cheaper set that was able to ship immediately, and these. I expected that the NVidia glasses would almost certainly have the best match for their Red/Cyan modes, so I paid extra.

Unfortunately, they aren't NVidia, and they have more ghosting than the cheaper set I got. They are also too small for me and pinch a bit.

They cost extra, took a week longer, and the images are a picture of what I wanted but not what I received. I've added a picture of what I received to the product page.

They are plastic 3D glasses, and I did receive them, so I'll give 'em a star for that.
