Samsung BD-C5500 review: Samsung BD-C5500

Samsung BD-C5500

Excellent Blu-ray image quality; Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, and Pandora media streaming, plus the expandable Samsung Apps platform; DLNA-compliant.

Sluggish operational speed; no built-in Wi-Fi; compatible Wi-Fi dongle is too expensive; last year's Samsung Blu-ray players had questionable reliability.

The BD-C5500's expandable Samsung Apps platform and DLNA compatibility make it stand out from other entry-level players, although it's one of the slower players we've tested.

Samsung BD-C5500

BBC iPlayer picture and speed of response fantastic. Internet features good. Loads disks quickly. Great looking and very slim. Remote matches my TV and cinema sound and they all control each other.

iPlayer fast forward and rewind don't work, picture and response is so good I can forgive it, I am sure future update will fix. In some respects the Samsung remotes are too similar,which one to pick up in a hurry...
