Many functions - Top image - shortcomings in Internet @ TV / DLNA

Samsung BD-C5500 Blu-ray player (HDMI, 1080p upscaler, DivX, DLNA, Wi-Fi ready) pearl black (Electronics)

Customer Review

I own the player now since 4 weeks and have used this extensively tested (except for optical output, because I have no such facility).
First of all, the player has many features that are not standard in this price range:
So both USB ports function (front and back) with external hard drives. The rear port is also still for firmware updates.
Wireless and network is possible; in wireless, there is also the price-effective solution via Hama Mimo Stick. Since I had a wireless router, I have this configured as a repeater, which also works fine.
Firmware updates, there are almost on a monthly basis by Samsung. These can be upload on the network connection within 5 minutes. Focuses on the compatibility of video files and the Internet functionality.

The player itself needs at a BlueRay (Avatar) but some time to read this. Here, the player also creates some noise. After that there was nothing to hear (because no fan).
In 2 DVD's of players unusually long sounds that were so not listen to a DVD player produced. But since I'm rather out of problems through the DVD's themselves.
The image is reproduced with me on a projector (HDMI). Just Avatar shows here as brilliant may be the representation. I have now seen several BlueRays and DVD's; the image quality was there impressive.

As some commentators the question arose:
Yes, it appears the current time and the remaining time. Furthermore, one can on the Tools button on any point in the movie, jumping by entering the entsprechenen time.

Now to the two points that are in my opinion not quite succeeded:
1) Internet @ TV is a nice try the Internet on the TV screen (or to bring Beamer). More but not yet. A browser is still missing (or I do not find him). The videos of Youtube can not be represented in the best resolution. And if you absolutely need the weather or other "apps" from Samsung, has to decide the individual.

2) DLNA and MKV / VOB
I do not understand here the approach of Samsung! MKV files work fine via USB hard drive. VOB files are not. I call the VOB files to MPG on, then he knows the file.
MKV files via DLNA be displayed, but produce the error "unknown file format". VOB files via DLNA play without a problem.
I've tasted it on Win7 with the standard functions of the operating system and with Serviio as a DLNA server. Perhaps here knows yet a solution.
Also, the coil is not as mature and requires further improvement.

Conclusion:
A successful BlueRay player with many features, a great image (with the appropriate output device) and a favorable price.
If even the support of the formats will be equalized, then there is in my view nothing to criticize.
Strong buy recommendation!
