Part of the give and take with electronics and economy is the sacrificing of features for a lower price. In the case of the Samsung BD-D5300 Blu-ray player, this give and take may be a bit of a struggle....

Good quality picture, good quality sound, plenty of functions and easy to use when performing simple tasks
A little slow connecting to the internet, and not as easy to use when trying to input data through the remote control.
Consumer review (argos.co.uk)
GOOD POINT WITH THIS IS YOU CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET VIA ETHERNET CABLE OR VIA A WIFI DONGLE (WHICH MUST BE SAMSUNGS OWN AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE). IT HAS A PRETTY FAST START UP AND LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

The unit is unobtrusive and works very well
The supplied instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired. The manual on the Samsung web site supplied the desired information, but it should have been available in the supplied manual - or just a note pointing out that one must consult the web page.
