I just found the 2550 BD player as an open box item at my local B.Buy. I bought it for $200, took it home and plugged in my Ethernet cable from my router. Turned it on and updated the firmware ( it detected the available update automatically) to ver. 2.5.
THE GOOD: We use our Samsung BD-P2550 as a basic DVD player attached to our Samsung HDTV (both can be controlled by one remote). DVD video quality is excellent, haven't tried blu-ray yet but everyone says it's stellar. By far the most innovative
I was looking at BD players for a while, I was trying to stay in the $300 range if i could. I purchased this for $314 at Best Buy, and picked this over the Pannies, Sonys, and LGs for the features that it included for only $15 more. It has 1GB of intern

The Samsung BD-P2550 is terrific! DVDs and BluRay discs look awesome and the improvement in sound quality is unbelievable. There are sounds that I never knew existed on our DVDs. The best part is the Netflix connection. Even though we don't have the
Pros: Great quality with Blu-Ray and DVD's. The netflix and pandora feature are awesome! Blu-ray loads faster than what i seen other models do. Cons: I had to do the firmware update out of the not sure if all 2550 come without the latest firmware upd
I bought this blu-ray because of the netflix movie streaming feature. It is so cool. After the initial set up is complete you simply log in to your netflix account and enter a code for the blu-ray. This code will then associate the blu-ray with your ac
We bought this blu-ray player -- our first and only -- in early December 2008 after lots of reading and shopping. I wanted a player that would not only render blu-ray discs beautifully (as probably most 1080P-capable players do), but which would also keep
My first Blu player and I am enjoying it very much. Other reviews here seem to have gotten bad players. the netflix connectivity was very easy and works very well for my setup and was the main reason i purchased this player. 100% satisfied!
The Samsung 2550 is the best video player I have ever had the pleasure of owning. The HQV video processor provides amazing quality DVD upgrading which is important to me as I love my classic TV series and my collection of standard DVD's have never lo
This is hands down the best value for a mid-range BluRay player available on the market today. Hooked up via HDMI and a simple ethernet cable, it provides a bonanza of entertainment alternatives. If you can find another player in this price range that c
Pros: Excellent picture quality, Netflix streaming, Pandora streaming Cons: Still slow to boot up compared to a DVD player, lack of Energy Star compliance, price Summary:
Keeping it simple - Samsung's top-of-the-line blu-ray player makes my old dvds look much better, plays blu-rays as I'd expect it to (perfectly), and does both with ease. I'm currently seeing its output on a 32" Toshiba CRT 1080i displ
After a LOT of forum searching and reading endless reviews, I chose this stand alone player for my home theater. My main requirements were that it had to have excellent picture quality, be compatible with the latest BD profile, and not require a second m

First off, I'd like to talk about the player, then I'd like to give some understanding to another reviewer. I had originally bought a Sharp Blu-ray player and had difficulty with certain DVDs. It wasn't bad, but it had some shortcomings, ev
I just bought this machine a week ago at Best Buy on sale. Only $349 that day! The main reason I bought the machine was because of how well it up converts. I have it hooked up to a Samsung LN46a550. I've watched Meet the Robinsons, Robots, Pirates o
This player is simply awesome. The updated firmware to get Netflix and Pandora comes with the system in a CD form. Just load it up and, wait a few minutes to update and your on your way. There are many pros to this player which I have mentioned above.
I was sold on the LG BD300 since I first heard about it a year ago and have been waiting for it ever since. I was planning on getting it until I heard about the Samsung BD-P2550 and figured I should at least research it a little before buying the LG, and
Thus far, I have had this player (the 2550 w/ Pandora) since December 2008 and have had only one problem which was easily rectified. The only problem I had was sometimes through a movie, it would behave as if the disk was dirty, stuttering, pixelization
Pros: up converting a definite plus Dvds look really good Cons: compatibility with disc formats slow load time Summary:
I couldn't wait to get this player home. My local retailer (BB) had it on sale when I bought it and I had lots of rewards dollars to use. I chose the BD-P2550 for the Samsung brand name, Netflix streaming, and it matches my Samsung HDTV. The playe
This Samsung player lists for $350, but this odd seller greatly overcharges - and Amazon aids them by showing no other options, Don't fall for it! It is a good player - at $350 or less.
I've only had one problem with this otherwise superb Blue Ray player. When I connect it directly to my Panasonic TV the audio cuts out while watching DVDs or streaming content from Netflix. It drops out for a few seconds perhaps five or ten times dur
One of the best blu-ray DVD players. BestBuy sells it for $350 so not sure why Amazon has such outrageous price. Things I like: - Netflix and Pandora interface works great - Blu-ray and DVDs look great Things I don't like: - No Wi-Fi interface. Didn&
Pros: DVD upscaling is the best I've seen. Netflix is a great add-on. Cons: Wished for a universal remote
Pros: Amazing picture for BluRay, great picture for normal DVD?s. Netflix HD picture was also better than I thought it would be. Pandora was a nice surprise. Cons: Long load time to get to the splash screen, when first reading a disk, BR or DVD the arm th
I bought this player last month and overall am pretty satisfied with the purchase. With the Best Buy holiday special, this was priced only slightly higher than comparable brands and offers greater features. It was very easy to set up -- it auto-discovers
Good points: More functionality than other models. The Netflix and Pandora functionality lift it above rival units and are really worth having. Nice menu system. A real step up in look and functionality from DVD players and some of it's rivals. Looks
My setup: - Firmware dated 12/02/2008 - Connected to Panasonic 1080p plasma via HDMI cable - Connected to my 10Mbps wi-fi network using Asus wireless adapter wl-330ge At first I got a lot of wi-fi connection drop when I used WPA2 encryption, but after cha
I love Samsung products. I own their LN52A750 and love many of their other consumer electronic products. Plus, I subscribe to Netflix. So you think I'd be a natural for this product - unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I also own the
Bought this product in Mid October 2008. It played BluRay disks like a champ. Easy to upgrade the firmware. User friendly was my first thought. After watching BluRay I didn't want to go back. sometime in December I started playing some regular DVDs.
I recently bought 2 of the BD-2500 because the 2550 was not available and that I thought that one can upgrade the firm ware to get the Pandora function with the 2500. I realized my error after setting up the first set and returned the unopened box. Sinc
As I write this the price via Amazon is almost $490 through TechNGnet. The Samsung BD-P2550 is a BestBuy exclusive item and it's on sale (in the store and online) there for $349.99. Go to BestBuy, save $100 and buy some DVDs :-)
After finally deciding to purchase a blu-ray I decided to buy the Samsung BD2550. I got it home and plugged it in straight to my Panisonic 50" 1080P plasma via hdmi cable. Although having never owned a blu-ray I thought the picture and sound were gre
Samsung BD-P2550 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player I purchased the Blu-ray BD-P2550 in Feb 2009 and am not pleased with 2 issues which I find unacceptable. First, after calling Samsung Support 5 times regarding very high volume audio "popping" and "
I bought my first blueray player last month, and set it up. I enjoyed 2 movies streamed from Netflix and one blueray movie. I also set it up to run pandora.com. Within a week, I lost the video output, and never got it back. The Geek Squad never showed
My husband bought this player two days ago, along with several expensive blu ray movies. Tried to watch movies yesterday, but the device freezes up in the middle of the movie. Called Samsung customer support who informed us we would need to download an
Actually I had two choices -- I could buy this Samsung or I could buy a LG Blue-ray player-- if I wanted to stream (download) Netflix's offerings to our TV set and play CD's or DVD's. That was my main reason for buying something new to us.
I have researched Samsung Blu Ray players since purchasing this piece. And I have found MANY instances of people complaining about playback problems. I can take a NEW Blu Ray disc out of a box and it might take 4 or 5 tries to even get it to load the disc
the player worked great for the first few months and the firmware did not have the netflix or pandora streaming apps, but then started having problems stopping half way through some DVDs. so i installed the latest firmware using internet connection and no
At first I loved this player - Pandora/Netflix/Blu-Ray picture was fine.. but the constant firmware issues plagued my experiance, and to top it off it will not play DVD's after 6 months of owning it. Or I should say DVD's play for about 10 minu
