After a few false starts because my TV only had one HDMI socket (so I needed to buy extra equipment) I got this up and running and it could not have been simpler. I don't want anything complicated, just a player, and so it ticks all the boxes. Delighted - I know I can count on Samsung.

The unit is easy to set up and loads BR discs quickly. As a player it does the job well with easy to read menus and settings. The remote has all the functions you could need and also controls the basic functions of my Samsung TV. It would be nice to have some buttons on the unit (other than Eject, Stop, Play and Power). It connects to the network via cable only but this is straight forward and it streams a range of video file types from network storage. All in all a great budget device.

This DVD PLAYER was purchased as a replacement, and having a SAMSUNG TV and a SAMSUNG FREEVIEW+ DVD RECORDER,it made sense to go for the SAMSUNG BD-F5100 BLUE-RAY PLAYER.
What a good choice I made as it cannot be faulted in any way,ease of use,picture quality, the list would be far too long if I listed everything. All that I can say is that if you are looking for a FIRST CLASS BLUE RAY DVD PLAYER, look no further than this one and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed in any way.

I'm so pleased with the blu ray / dvd player and can't believe how compact in size it is compared to others. Its easy to use and set up. I was using it within 5 mins of setting up. The quality is fantastic. I'm a huge Samsung fan as I find them easy to use. The buttons on the top are small and are in a circle that is easy to use. No sound comes from the player. It's one of the quietest blu ray / dvd players I have had. Great value for money and lightweight product.

If you're in the market for a basic and cheap Blu-ray player from a big name in consumer electronics then you couldn't go far wrong in this product. It does what it's supposed to do and that's play Blu-ray discs. Forget about all the other stuff that might be marked as 'must-have' - network connectivity, iplayer etc. - do you want to play Blu-ray discs ? then this is all you need. OK touch sensitive controls can be a bit of a pain if your clumsy but you'll get used to it.

Player is a nice, compact unit and the DVD/BD funtionality works well. The network features are sparse with only YouTube and BBC iplayer apps offered but given the price it's still worth having. Unfortunately the iplayer app simply does not work, with it freezing the whole player when you try to play a program. Only a hard power-off or pressing and holding the power button on the unit fixes it. This problem appears to have been introduced with the latest firmware (Nov 2013) but as of end Jan 2014, there is no fix available. This is a great shame as i particularly wanted the iplayer funtionality so it will be going back if no fix appears soon.

This is a great Blu-ray player!
Very simple to set up (simply plug it in to power & HDMI), and off you go for DVD/Blu-ray. However, plug in the Network cable to your Wi-Fi hub too and you can see music/video files in the shared folder on your PC/laptop too! I've streamed high quality video flawlessly to my TV from my laptop via this Blu-ray player.
And if this wasn't enough, you can play direct off of a USB stick too.
Very versatile, easy to use and definitely worth the money - buy it now! :-)

I bought this player as a birthday present, unaware that it lacked basic features that you would expect from a modern blu-ray/dvd player.
This player does not have wi-fi.
This player does not support Lovefilm.
Samsung's feature page is very misleading as it shows a picture of a full desktop full of apps - whereas it actually only supports iplayer and youtube. The iplayer software is also dysfunctional. I am sure this player is only being sold strategically to increase the price of more expensive players. A very disappointing player which is not competitively priced considering the poor feature set. If all you want is a player for blu-ray and dvd discs then this player is probably okay, but there is no reason for a modern player like this to not offer other features. Frankly I was gutted when I found out that this player lacked any of the features I had expected, and we have since changed it for something else. I would really not recommend wasting your time with this player, and I really expected more from the Samsung brand.

This Blu-Ray player will play Blu-Rays but that's all it does well. Viewing YouTube is ok as long as you don't mind taking ages to enter your search words. BBCi Player also has worked for me but I still have problems with it not working from time to time. I have connected the Blu-Ray to my home hub along with a NAS drive to play video content but the Blu-Ray player stops responding all the time and fails to play media. I can watch an mkv file on my PC and it's fine but the Samsung player only allows me to watch about 20 minutes. If it didn't play at all I would put it down to Codecs or if it played with breaks I would suggest the Bandwith was insufficient. But I cannot work out why it would play 20 minutes without any problems and then just stop.
Another problem I have is the interface just stops working and I have to un-plug it to get it working again. I've been waiting for a Firmware upgrade from Samsung in the hope of a fix but still nothing!
If you just want something to Play Blu-Ray discs then this is a good player. But if you want to use DLNA don't bother.

We upgraded from our old DVD player to this (by trading in our Nectar points). A good decision - we have enjoyed its functionality as well as the quiet and unassuming way that it goes about things.

It is smart looking and small and cheap, and does indeed start up very quickly. However I've not managed to watch an entire film from start to finish without it freezing, jumping, or skipping. Not very happy at all.

Totally agree with previous reviewer...
This is a very nice disc player - small size, easy setup, quick start & high quality for playback. Small and stylish too. Particularly good if you have a fairly recent Samsung TV as the remote works with it.
BUT the inbuilt apps are very limited. The product description mentions "native apps such as BBC iPlayer and YouTube..." but in this case "such as" means "ENTIRELY LMITED TO" - these are the only ones available for this model! (I raised a support case and Samsung confirmed this)
I think Samsung are therefore over-selling it calling it a "world of online content" in the product overview.
Strange to have such a limitation on this particular model given that most of the necessary technology seems to be built in anyway.
For a bit more money I'd recommend getting a model with full app support if at all interested in functionality other than disc playback.

When I first purchased and started using this player I was very happy with it, the picture quality is crisp and sharp with a clean looking interface all packed into a tiny box with touch sensitive buttons that match my TV.
But then I discovered that the only apps available were You Tube and BBC iPlayer, there are none of the movie streaming services (Netflix/Lovefilm), or other TV stations services (4oD/Demand 5/ITV Player) available. It seems 'a world of embedded online content' is really not that much. Why these apps are available on the F5500 (same model but with 3D) baffles me.
Every now and then I find myself going back to my 4 year old Sony Blu-ray player as it's got far more apps and online content (even if the interface is painfully slow and complex). With a firmware update to match the F5500 this player would be amazing, but until then I'm going to be frustrated and disappointed every time I want to watch catch up TV that isn't from the BBC.

Le lecteur est bien dans son ensemble mais il n'y a aucune explication concernant les applications fournies avec.
Concernant YouTube, je me suis connecté avec mon compte, bizarrement quand je lance une vidéo YouTube correspondant à un de mes abonnements, le lecteur n'est pas capable d’enchaîner de lui-même sur la vidéo suivante, a titre d'exemple, la PS3 sait le faire, il me relit la même vidéo ?
Enfin, toujours avec YouTube, je ne comprend pas l'association mobile / écran et je ne trouve aucune explication sur ce sujet

It comes with Netflix, YouTube & Pandora already on it but there's no way to add any of the additional 131 apps the website lists as compatible with this device. Within seconds of powering it on after I hooked it up I was presented with a firmware update that installed successfully, it seems to me that if I have a network connection that downloaded & installed a firmware update in less than 2 minutes there should be a way to add other apps like Hulu and many others I'd prefer.

I got this particular player because I only needed a blu ray player and did not need the wireless since I don't uses netflix and other apps with the player. I have my TV for that. So I needed a basic player. This was the exact model I wanted. It works well. And it does exactly what I need. You will need an ethernet cord to use the apps on this model so be aware...no blutooth.

I bought two of these blu ray players and within 6 months I've already had to send both of them in for repair because they wouldn't my play blu rays. I don't play blu rays that often so i was shocked when it quick working. So, when I sent my first one in to get fixed I started using my second and within a week it quit playing blu rays again. Very annoying. Samsung is usually a great brand my home entertainment system is nothing but samsung. But after having these problems with these blu ray players I will be looking for another brand for my blu ray and home entertainment needs.

I was looking for just a simple Blu Ray player to compliment my 39 inch Samsung TV. This works perfectly. Didn't require any internet connectivity for streaming, have a Ruku for that.
This works flawlessly. Easy setup, blu-rays and dvds look sharp. Great price. Very happy.

The round buttons on top are have no mechanical feedback, and make the unit awkward to place.
The onscreen menus are awkward.
Overall the unit feels cheap and I don't like it.

When I am ready to use the player, each & every time, it loses it's mind. No pic, nothing! Each time my son comes to visit, he resets it and it works! When he's gone, I do the same thing he does and I have no luck. Also, I can find no help on your website. I am so very sorry I got this. It is extreme frustration. I'll hope to never buy anything with the Samsung name on it!

Je suis déçu de ne pas avoir vu apparaitre sur la boite qu'il n'y a pas de prise HDMI dans le pack. J'ai acheté le meme jour TV LED Samsung, barre de son 2.1 Samsung (pas de prise HDMI dans le pack) et un lecteur BD. je n'ai donc pas pu profiter de mon BD et de ma barre son car je n'ai pas acheté de prise HDMI (au total 2) afin de pouvoir profiter des produits.
