Samsung BD-J5900
For only $99.05, the Samsung BD-J5900 is a valuable 3D-enabled Wi-Fi Blu-ray player. This lightweight, compact model won’t take up much space in your entertainment station, and it includes HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and HDMI-CEC ports. We liked that it boots up quickly, faster than other models we’ve seen. We have no complaints about the 1080p picture quality, and the 3D play works great, too. And its Wi-Fi connectivity means that you can easily stream content from major services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Our only gripe is that it doesn’t have a light to indicate when it’s on, but that’s a minor issue.
Strengths
Includes a USB port in front so you can easily access photos and movies Samsung remote will control both player and TV Quick loading time Easy, intuitive navigation screen Connects to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Weaknesses Lacks a power indicator light Streaming requires network speeds no lower than 10 Mbps, which may be an issue for some people |
