Samsung BD-P4600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Review
This is the form factor and set of features I have been waiting a long time for. Most everything you need for media is built into this unit in a very sleek, sexy package. We have the player mounted on the wall right under the TV and not only does it look great (you can hide all the wires), it is very accessible.
We are able to download and watch instant movies from Netflix with no problems. Very, very cool.
So far, it plays our existing DVD's and CD's without issues.
We can stream music, video and image content from our home network attached storage drive media server (Netgear Stora) via wi-fi with no problems.
Takes a little setup, but nothing unduly difficult. You just need to know the IP address of your media server along with account and password.
The Auto Network Search feature can find other computers on the network and access their shared folders, but we had to use the manual search to find the media server by IP address.
My box has a port on the back, inside a recessed cove, for the wi-fi dongle along with all the other plugs and it is completely hidden. There is also a back cover plate that hides all the cords and plugs and the dongle even if viewed from behind. However, there is also another USB port on the outside of the unit intended for downloading firmware or adding a memory stick, so maybe those who say the wi-fi dongle sticks out are plugging it into the USB port??
A definite raving thumbs up from me with a couple of wish list items, (and these are all software related) ...
1) Wish the player would remember the last network streaming connection(s). Have to do the manual search to find our media server each time the unit powers on. It remembers the last info you input, you just have to go through the screens each time, so I will probably program a smart remote to do all that.
2) Wish the player would remember the last play list or have multiple persistent play lists. The single playlist disappears when unit is powered off.
3) Would love ways to quickly navigate through large lists of media on screen rather than just scrolling away (search, alpha jump to keys, etc)
Maybe these will be features of a new firmware version...
