Samsung BD-J6300 3D Wi-Fi Blu-Ray Player (2015 Model)

I got this as a replacement for a Sony player that froze up constantly and was super slow and couldn't stay connected to the internet. It has been good for the few weeks I've had it. Fast startup and streams like a dream if you have good wifi or are on a LAN. My wifi is poor so I got the tplink Internet Lan expander that uses your wall wiring and paired it with an ethernet switch and plugged this player and two other items into it. Now I don't have to worry about wifi and this works great. I streamed a Netflix movie the other day and it looked better than a blu ray disc.

I'd been messing with a 2 year old Sony player since getting it, to no avail. I was using it with my home wifi system, which had plenty of speed, yet the Sony kept rebuffering when I watched streaming on especially Hulu ( some Netflix too ) and it was hard to watch even one show in 2 days, because it would keep rewinding to a few minutes before that. It was like Groundhog Day! So I called Hulu support and expressed my frustration. The guy told me that they've had these kinds of problems with Sony players a LOT, but not with Samsung. So this was a highly rated Samsung, so I tried it. ( After wasting my money on the 2 year old Sony! Never again Sony! ) So this unit plays my streaming totally perfectly! It's like having my streaming on a DVR or something. I can fast forward,m rewind, pause, etc., all perfect, and it picks right up and plays, with perfect subtitles. ( I'm 30% hearing impaired, and the Sony would mess up the subtitles with that rebuffering problem, too! ) So I love this player and it will always be Samsung for me, from now on!

I purchased 2 of the Samsung BDJ6300. My old Philips Blu Ray player was acting a little weird after 3 years of heavy use so I swapped all of my DVD players out for Blu Ray machines. I've noticed that even regular DVD's appear to have a better picture when played through a Blu Ray player. The Samsung is a "smart" Blu Ray player offering WiFi streaming options and plays audio and video files on flash drives in a multitude of formats. I found both of the BDJ6300's I purchased to be a bit quirky at first. I've even made sure I have the latest firmware installed. However, despite a few minor quirks the machine plays Blu Ray and DVD's well. The ONLY issue that bugs the heck out of me is the disc menu. I read in the reviews this was a problem so it's not just me. Once the player brings up the main disc menu It's almost impossible to tell which button is highlighted. Play, scene selection, audio settings and any other options on the disc menu end up being a guessing game when trying to select them. I've even got right up to the screen and still had trouble seeing which option was highlighted.

I have been using this player for about 8 months now. It works beautifully and is very easy to operate. My favorite feature is that I can watch Netflix and Amazon Video on it. Many of the wifi players will only do one or the other. The reception is great and the playback is fantastic. I'm ordering another one for another TV because I loved it so much.

I had a Sony BDPBX350. It lasted about a year and a half and It capped out. It was never my favorite but it worked for me on a budget. This one has been excellent from my 2 hours of use. Shutting down and turning on quickly while Connecting to the internet in a swift fashion. It has a nice somewhat easy to navigate menu. I use amazon prime and Netflix on it. No trouble. The remote will take an adjustment period. I like it.

Excellent quality. Plays DVDs (Blue-Ray and Standard), music CDs, and has lots of apps (Netflix, Pandora, Hulu, etc). Easy to use, small and compact, and attractive. Sound and picture quality is as good as it gets (NOTE: IF you use high-quality HDMI cables, Speaker wire, and route through a quality component. I route through a Pioneer HDX-720 Theater surround-sound receiver with 4K capable HDMI cables). If I had one complaint, it would be that it is a bit slow in response...for instance, if you want to listen to Pandora, then you decide to watch a movie, the time it takes from "switching" from Pandora to Netflix (for example) takes several minutes. I guess I'm just impatient, so my wife tells me to "deal with it"...but all else is fantastic.

This Blu-Ray player was easy to set up and plays discs perfectly fine. I wish the on-screen display could be set up so the apps I use were on the primary screen (and if it can be set up that way, I wish setting it up was intuitive - I'm pretty bright and can't figure it out and haven't taken the time to look it up online). Streaming tv worked just fine for the first month or so, but now it stops every 30 seconds to 'load' -- seems to happen more in the evening, and the wi-fi tablet I use in the same room does not have the same streaming issue at the same time this product is having the issue, so it appears to be something with the unit. Maybe it's just not a strong wi-fi connection like on my device. This Blu-Ray player is on the 2nd floor of the house and our internet and router are on the 1st floor; if it helps, we have 9' ceilings and this device is about 25' off from being directly over the top of the router. There are no appliances or devices in between the two, just walls and the ceiling/floor. If this Blu-Ray player was connected to our main tv, which is feet away from the router, I can only imagine I would give this product a 5-star review. This product was a decent price and I have no regrets over purchasing it; if I can figure out the wi-fi issue, I will update this review.
