5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Easy to Use

2026-01-05    -S. M. Schwartz

I've only had this about 2 weeks but I truly love it! Set up was a breeze - and I don't consider myself tech-savy! I'm not an idiot but this was walk thru simple.I had my Netflix and Pandora accounts set up quickly and painlessly. I even plugged it in on another TV and have watched Netflix without a hitch there as well. No crazy connections to make, just unplug it from the wall and ONE connection from the TV and reverse process on 2nd TV -- voila! We don't have Cable or Dish or anything like that (I know, you just gasped!) - so this is perfect for me.Netflix streaming is flawless, I have watched about a dozen TV shows and full-length movies so far, and I can't say we have the best or fastest in WiFi connection either.Player is VERY light, almost feels like an empty box. It seems solid enough when playing DVD's, operation is smooth, no skipping or jumping - hopefully that lasts. Remote operates my Samsung TV as well as the player - so I'm not remote juggling.At this point, EXCELLENT player and even better than I could have hoped for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this "smart" blu-ray player! VUDU 3D here I come...

What is the point of having a 3D TV if the only way to watch 3D is to BUY the movie (can't rent them either). Not a fan of buying a bunch of dvd's. We had a Panasonic 3D blu-ray player that came with the Panasonic 3D TV, but found that none of the movie streaming apps on the device would stream 3D! Unless your cable/satellite provider has it so you can use "their" VOD from their box, you are left to buy the movie.Apparently VUDU is the only "app" that is really streaming in 3D right now, but Panasonic after more than a year has never rolled out the update to allow VUDU to stream 3D on its device, even tho VUDU has been capable of it the whole time.I found all this out when I called VUDU to ask why I couldn't find any 3D movies in their "3D movie" lists. So I asked them what devices did have it and they gave me a list of devices that had gotten the necessary updates, and the newer devices that are shipping already capable. I found this one on Amazon much cheaper than retail and I LOVE IT!The "smart" aspect is totally awesome! This player can not only stream 3D from VUDU, but has built in wifi (no adapters needed!) which is more than capable of handling a streaming 3D movie. The other apps are plentiful and varied. The only one it doesn't have is..wait for it... Amazon VOD...go figure. But my TV does that so I am ok there (got rid of Netflix when I found out about Amazon's streaming and it's cheaper, too.The only thing that does irk me about the player is that for all it does and all the video stuff you could ever find on the internet is this: IT DOES NOT HAVE A KEYBOARD REMOTE! using the remote to search is a PAIN. There is an app that Samsung put on the market that is a wireless like remote, but it too does not have a KEYBOARD..BTW...some of the other apps that will come on it are HBOGO (you must have it with your cable co) and PlayOn..With PlayOn (subscription) you have access to lots of cool channels like regular Hulu (not +), ESPN3 and more.

This player is technically used but it sure didn't look like it to me. Setup was really easy. 3D movies are phenomenal.

5.0 out of 5 stars BD-E5900 excellent value, good performance

Refurbished product came in different external carton. All important literature and remote was included. Player was in like new condition. Fairly easy set-up. Shipment also came with reminder to update the firmware upon initial set-up. Set-up to my private wireless router (linksys) was easy since I knew my password. Its DNLA found my pc network as long as my pc was awake. Its a little slow as most entertainment wifi's are but the connectivity is solid during my experience to date. The letter/number input is very painful but I am using bookmarks in the few areas I want to access blog websites. Apps are decent with netflix , pandora standard. Crackle app is available for my seinfeld episodes, all worked well. there's an ifood app and a national weather app that has regional radar on it, much better than dumb accuweather app. There is also the Naked Trailer movie trailer app. Of course the disc player for blu-ray and dvd is excellent picture wise. For the $52 delivered price it is a steal.

Blu-ray is dead but this is a decent player

Usually I ride the wave of technology. I buy most devices within a short time from when they come out. I didn't do this with Blu-ray. I waited a long time before buying a Blu-ray player. In fact, I waited so long that by the time I bought this unit, Blu-ray could be effectively declared dead. Now after that long pre-amble, I will say that this is a pretty decent player. It does everything you would want for a DVD/Blu-Ray player. Unfortunately, I just don't use it. It since with my other A/V equipment and is never used.
