Samsung HT-J5500W
For a superior 3D Blu-ray surround sound system from 2015, the Samsung HT-J5500W offers plenty of features to turn up the volume of your movies. The built-in Wi-Fi gives any TV access to all the most popular apps—Netflix, Pandora, Vudu, etc. Another nice inclusion is wireless rear speakers. Finding a place to mount rear speakers without showing too much wire has always been a problem with surround sound systems. Thankfully Samsung has directly addressed this problem with wireless speakers, this alone adds a great deal of value. The Blu-ray player in this set features 3D playback as well. This may be a technology that is phasing out, but more and more TVs are including it. Regardless, the Samsung HT-J5500W offers the advantages of Blu-ray in a single passage, attractively priced around $400.
