Reviews: Blu-ray Players

Samsung's BD-C5500 is one of the manufacturer's entry-level Blu-ray players. It combines all of the features and connectors you need for everyday use with an affordable price tag. The BD-C5500 has a simple design in matte black plastic. The front is glossy, and features touch-sensitive controls. Above these, a USB port is hidden by a flap. You can use that to connect an external storage device formatted using NTFS, a feature that wasn't available on some earlier Blu-ray players. During our tests, the majority of HD videos in the AVC format (x 264) and those encapsulated as MKV files worked without a problem. On the other hand, the M2TS and MTS formats still aren't handled. Subtitles work fine if they're in a separate file to the video itself. If you put them in a container, though, you won't get them on screen. At the back, video outputs include HDMI, component and composite connections. For audio, there's a stereo RCA output (for 2.0 or 2.1 speakers) and an optical audio out (for an amp, 5.1 speaker system or your TV). Our equipment showed that the video output performs identically to the PlayStation 3: The BD-C5500 shows Blu-ray films with a striking amount of detail. It doesn't have dark areas that are indistinguishable from black, and it doesn't mix up colours either.

Samsung BD-C5500

Whether you go for an entry-level Blu-ray player or a more expensive midrange model mostly comes down to whether you need one feature--built-in Wi-Fi. Samsung's BD-C5500 lacks built-in Wi-Fi (although it can be added with an $80 USB dongle), but comes in about at $65 cheaper than the step-up BD-C6500 and still offers up the same excellent image quality. The BD-C5500 also features Samsung Apps, the company's expandable platform for streaming media and other Internet services like Twitter. While it may not achieve the same popularity as Apple's App Store, the platform is already well-stocked with names like Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, and YouTube. The BD-C5500 is also one of the few entry-level players to also be DLNA-compliant; both the LG BD550 and Panasonic DMP-BD65K lack the ability to stream digital media over a network. On the other hand, the BD-C5500 lacks many of the extra features that give the more expensive BD-C6500 its edge over the competition, such as 7.1 analog audio outputs and onboard memory. It also shares its step-up's other flaws, namely sluggish operational speed and the fact that last year's Samsung Blu-ray player seemed to have reliability issues.
