I love the picture and sound quality. I cannot access the internet based features, even with the Samsung usb- wireless ethernet adapter, as my house is not hard wired to the location I installed it, and the device is not wireless compatible via that adapter. Looking for a solution, though.
. If you want NETFLIX direct streaming this is a great product. I have not had any problems with it at all in the past year I have owned it
I was going to purchase another P2550 as I had purchased and gifted. After having a few issues with the first few items- Amazon amazing customer support stepped up and made sure I got great service. but as it was no longer available- this is the model before. The player plays DVDs and Blurays quite well. Some of the Bluray movies do have a slower initial load time- once the movie plays however it is not noticeable. Although slightly comparible with a few drawbacks to the 2550 model- it is still a great player for the cost. Still no comparison to my PS3 however.
Now it will only play standard DVD without problems. It worked fine for about six months and them. We purchased one in Nov 2008 because we wanted one that could stream Netflix video. Any Blu-Ray disc even new ones suffer the 30 minute problem. We don't know what happened. Maybe it was a damaged rental Blu-Ray disc or a fault of the player but after about six months it would play a Blu-Ray movie for about 20-30 minutes and then seize up. Still works fine for streaming Netflix or Pandora but as a standalone Blu-Ray player it is useless. Have purchase another brand to replace it in Dec 2009.MEC
I bought the PD-P2500 from Amazon less than a year ago. Well there is no labor involved I say, because they have so many reports they don't even have to open the unit to know what the problem is. I have a Samsung 50" plasma and got this player for the compatibility. Last night it stopped reading ANY Blu-Ray discs, even ones it had played the night before and previous to that. I have more respect for a company who are honest about problems and don't take their customers for idiots. When I bought the unit, most of these reviews were favorable, but now I see all the problems that have shown up with other units still under warranty. Even though it has been replaced by a new model, it is still under the 12 month warranty. They should just replace it and hopefully the refurbished unit has the known problem corrected so I can get a year or two use out of it.
Sometimes after only a month or two or even a few days. Samsung expects me to pay an additional $85.60 to have the unit looked at because the labor warranty was only 3 months. We bought another Samsung LCD TV and two more Blu-Ray players for Christmas gifts, but now I am considering returning them unopened unless they decide to do the right thing. If they said they found a faulty part that failed after a short time and have since resolved the issue, I might be more inclined to pay for a refurb, but if I only get a few months use out of a refurb too, I might as well put that money toward another brand player and never buy their brand of anything again.
