Amazing picture quality, worked great on network to download free movies from Netflix. Love it!

Pros:	High Quality Picture, Easy To Use, Consistent Performance

Cons:	Slow To Load, Difficult To Set Up, Flimsy Construction

Nice picture and sound but the difference between blue ray and standard DVDs is negligable at best. I bought this unit for the Netflix and Pandora streaming and they are both outstanding features on this machine. Don't waste your money on blue ray disc purchases. Renting is the way to go.

Nexflix and Pandora downloads work well

This player outputs great picture and sound but forget about using the online features. I spent two full days with both Samsung and Netgear trying to get the player to communicate with my wireless router without success.

Pretty Cool

Cons:	Inconsistent at first

This is my first Blue Ray player. My only compairson is my old Toshiba dvd player (a good player). Generally speaking the picture on Blue Ray is great on our new 55" Samsung UN55B7000! Load times are normally not too long in my opinion. The Netflix streaming feature works pretty good, much better than I expected based on what we had seen when doing this on a PC. Picture quality is usually quite good approaching Blue Ray, although, with quick panning of the camera some jerkiness is sometimes noted. We have watched three movies this way. Scanning backwards and forward is clunky on Netflix too but at least you can do it. The Pandora music service is a nice freebe. When we first got the unit we had a lot of trouble with freeze-ups that often required turning the unit off and on (occured during DVD, Blue Ray, Netflix and Pandora). The player and the TV communicate back and forth so I wondered if my $7 HDMI cable might have something to do with it. I upgraded to a $10 cable and these problems were greatly reduced. I've since got a $12 cable that is RoHS compliant (whatever that is) and am seeing how that works. Lately we have not had any problems. My only complaints on the design are the buttons on the top of the unit should illuminate and the remote should have dedicated buttons for zoom and slow mo like my old Toshiba did.

Samsung Blue Ray Players Rock!

Cons:	Inconsistent
Describe Yourself:	Power User

I love Netflix and I really enjoy the instant downloads you can get with this product.The system is very easy to setup and I got it going in about five minutes.Some issues I had. The first unit acted really strange and kept ejecting and powering off at random. The replacement unit was great and ABT exchanged it without any issues.Also, be aware that the adapter for WI Fi is not included in the [$]model. You must buy that for an additonal [$].

Buy One

What a great picture! Netflix was easy to setup. This player paired with the Samsung TV is a no-brainer.

An excellent addition to my A/V setup

By DaveE from Palo Alto, CA on 05/13/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Pros:	High Quality Picture, Easy To Use
Best Uses:	Home Theater
Cons:	Wireless to an AirPort

Excellent Blu-Ray player: quick to load, haven't experienced a disk skipping error yet and the remote is logical enough for me. Streaming Netflix is a nice addition. My wife, who had no knowledge of Pandora music box prior to the purchase of the Samsung, loves the feature. The hard part was connecting the unit to my Apple AirPort Extreme Wireless station. There are a couple of websites out there that provide some pointers, but you'd be clueless without searching for advice. The only other gripe is that the unit doesn't have a coax RCA output. You'll have to settle for the inferior Toslink output, and buy a converter box to convert Toslink to AES/EBU if you run your video to a DAC. I'm probably one of the few whose audio equipment far surpasses my video equipment.

Great Blu-ray player

I was so happy with my first purchase that I bought a second 3600 for my bedroom. As it was with the first, it was easy to set up. A little slow in up loading DVDs but certainly worth the wait (about 20 seconds). A small draw back is that sometimes during the movie there is a split second that the screen freezes.

Simply Awesome!

Pros:	Easy To Use, Consistent Performance, Easy To Set Up, High Quality Picture

Best Uses:	Home

This is my first blu-ray player. I did my due diligence and decided on this unit becuase of the stellar reviews on picture quality and fast loading times. Actual performance has confirmed the reviews. The deciding factor was that it has one of the highest ratings for standard DVD's and since that's most of my collection I wanted optimum picture from those DVD's. It also does a much better job of upconverting those standard DVD's than the Panasonic upconvert unit I replaced this with. The picture is simply awesome, the unit looks amazing, and it was so easy to set up. You will not be disappointed.

Good player with WiFi for Netflix

I am completely happy with the 3600, but I wish the user's manual had been more helpful in the setup for WiFi/PC router connectivity. After struggling to get it to connect, I was about to return it until I discovered how to specify an access point manually. No help from manual or Samsung tech support.

Samsung BDP3600

By Dann from San Mateo on 04/20/2009.

Pros:	Consistent Performance, Easy To Set Up, High Quality Picture, Compact
Cons:	Difficult To Set Up
Best Uses:	Home Theater
Describe Yourself:	Power User

The wireless was took a little time to set up and wasn't quite as seamless as I hoped it would be. This will only work with a N or N+. The picture and sound quality is great and it's much quicker than my older (and much more expensive) Samsung BDPU5000 (which has now been relegated to bedroom duty.)

Finally a solid product!

Pros:	High Quality Picture, Easy To Use, Consistent Performance, Easy To Set Up, Durable
Best Uses:	Home Theater

Pros Super fast wifi, pandora, netflix, excellent upscale for regular Dvds, dynamite blu ray play, great options for connecting hardware, sound is outstanding, crisp and clean. The design also fits perfectly with the samsung line of products. Cons Player feels a little delicate, top side button placement is odd, but a non issue with a remote, occasionally you have to reset your wifi connection when you close out, but nothing to lose sleep over. Summary It is clear that for 2009 and into the forseeable future, everyone will want a Blu Ray Player with wifi because it just makes life so easy. The Samsung is the first out to market, and it is feature rich and plays sound and video like a champ. The Dark Knight looked amazing and well. I would also recommend using a Samsung television with it if possible, the sync is a great feature, and once you have the perfect universal remote, your good to go!!! Great job Samsung!!

Have bought this product twice.

First bought this BluRay to compliment a Samsung 46 inch LCD and found that it was easy to set up and that both products "talked" to each other. I bought the same blu ray player for second LCD since I was so happy with the results. Best feature is that old DVDs play as if they are Blu Ray DVDs. Looking forward to setting up Netflix and Pandora features. Great product.
