The sound and picture from this blu-ray player is super crisp and clear; coupled with my Panasonic 60" plasma, it is a tremendous upgrade from the player it replaced. My previous unit had been the core of a packaged home theatre system (not that old, and not cheap, either!) that was starting to lose functions ... first it stopped recognizing and playing blu-ray discs, then wireless began stuttering,and finally the sound started fading. In short, scarcely a year after purchase, it was basically useless. I couldn't find a direct replacement, so in an effort to save what I could, I bought this Samsung and hooked up my speakers to an AV receiver. The results are much better than they ever were with the packaged system. So my advice if you're tempted to buy one of those theatre in a box solutions, is ... don't. When they try to do too much with one piece of hardware, they end up not doing any of it very well.
I bought this Samsung to stream video and play blu-rays ... and boy does it ever. I couldn't be happier. Setup was simple, and while it is not VIERA, it communicates beautifully with my SMART tv regardless. Color is gorgeous, and I can see every hair that's out of place. I generally prefer the layout of Samsung's apps vs. Panasonic's, particularly Netflix. The only thing I haven't tested is the web browser, mainly because I have no need of it--I have a computer for that.
