Testurteil: "3 out of 5"
Test: Einzeltest: Samsung BD-D5500
Zitat: The good: + At a cost of around £100 the Samsung BD-D5500 is an attractively-priced Blu-ray player that offers all the basic features one would need. Those being top quality playback and Smart TV access. Blu-ray films look great.
For an entry-level system, colours are bright and clear, and dark levels are commendable, and worth the entry free. It’ll even play back those 3D releases. The BD-D5500 also offers smart TV access to make use of online services and sites such as BBC iPlayer, Lovefilm YouTube and Facebook.
The Smart Hub that offers these services is a pleasure to navigate. Clean menus and a simple layout make it easy to find what you need. You’ll also find support for DivX HD, MKV, MP3, WMA and JPEG formats, which can also be played from a USB stick.
The bad: - Unfortunately there’s no Wi-fi. To access those Smart TV services you’ll need to use the ethernet port - a real bother if you aren’t close to a socket. The BD-D5500 does support Wi-Fi, but you’ll need to purchase a dongle sold separately.
The Samsung BD-D5500 is more than decent. For a low price you’d be getting a perfectly capable Blu-ray player. The lack of built-in Wi-Fi however is a real kicker. Shop around before committing.
