Samsung BD-F7500 4K Upscaling 3D Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player Review

BE SURE TO HOOK UP TO THE INTERNET AND UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE PEOPLE!!! While you're at it, be sure to upgrade the player's apps too! The player comes with firmware 1005 from Amazon and I think that most people are experiencing certain issues because they haven't upgrade the firmware. Today 5/3/13, I NOTICED FIRMWARE 1008 IS AVAILABLE. After updating to firmware 1007 when I received my player, I have not had any wireless drops as reported by others here. Upgrading is easy, just go into the player's apps menu to upgrade apps and settings menu to upgrade firmware. You can select to auto update if you like. So far I am happy with this player and it meets nearly all of my expectations... see the review below.

Review
-------
Samsung made this a very strong player to beat its competition by incorporating a dual-core processor, a new simplified user interface much like Windows 8, improvements to word prediction, improvements to picture color, depth and clarity, increasing the amount of entertainment offerings, and improvements to the web browser for ease of use and speed.

I was on the market for something that would offer me some of the latest trends in home entertainment and some features that my 2010 Sony TV lacked. This blu-ray player can give your TV and home entertainment system that upgrade. After doing a lot of research on new players for 2013, this top of the line Samsung player outshines them all. What was important to me in a player was the ability to play 3D blu-ray discs, ability to stream and play my media files from my networked QNAP TS-419P NAS (network storage device), and having a capable web browser. The Samsung had all these features and the dual-core processor put the icing on the cake for me.

This player is a powerhouse with a 900Mhz dual-core processor to handle all its demanding tasks. Pretty much anything these days will run faster and perform well with a multi-processor core. This player may be the only player with a dual-core at least for a good part of 2013. It does nearly everything quickly and smoothly. I say nearly because the browser takes a small bit of time to load.

As for the web browser, it is a full browser but with limitations. Browser startup takes between 5-10 seconds. After that browsing speed is great. The browser's limitations are that it doesn't allow installation of plugins and digital media file links don't work. It is understandable that these features are not included probably because of security reasons ie. viruses, but I hope they figure out a way to include those browser features. Currently there is a browser bug when it comes to entering your password for a site using the player's remote, it would keep moving the cursor out of the password text box after entering a few characters. By installing a wireless keyboard and mouse, you no longer have this problem. Its better surfing the web with a wireless keyboard and mouse combo anyway, and it works well with the player. The player's remote only allows you to navigate around a page using the left,right,up and down arrows. For reference, I am using a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse combo that works off of one USB stick which was perfect for the one USB port on the player.

I have been trying to find a good way to share my digital media files with my networked 55" Sony Bravia TV without luck because of the limitations that Sony placed on file formats that their devices can play. I am very disappointed that Sony didn't include certain codecs that allow playback of various common media file formats. I have tried using Serviio on my QNAP NAS to transcode on demand and stream digital media in a format that my Sony TV will accept, but the NAS did not have enough horsepower to do it smoothly. I then looked at media players. Media players would do the trick but can cost as much as a blu-ray player and I was on the market for a 3D blu-ray player anyway, so I started looking for 3D blu-ray players. Btw, I only found a couple of media players capable of 3D on the market. From my research on TVs I have learned that Samsung and LG included codecs that I needed to play my media files that no other TV included. When it came to searching for my 3D blu-ray player I knew I would be looking at Samsung and LG although I have looked at other brands as well. None of the players came close to having as many codecs to play various media files than my trusty two brands. I have thrown many different popular media file formats at this player, streaming from my NAS with no transcoding and it played them all flawlessly. File types I have tested with this player are MKV,MP4,MOV,WMV,AVI,MPG,MP4A,FLAC,and MP3. I have yet to try to stream wirelessly. I have read that the wireless performance of this player is exceptional.

While I knew all the players can play 3D blu-ray, the deciding factor for me came down to the web browser and video codecs that most players aren't good at. The Samsung BD-F7500 player has pretty much met these needs and the dual-core gave it a lot of power to do them well.

Overall I am quite happy with this player but some things that bother me include leaving out 2D to 3D conversion ability when playing 2D discs, its full web browser has limitations, and that one would think Samsung would put in a Gigabit Ethernet since that is the current trend for HD, but only 100BT was included. I hope that much of the players problems will be addressed with firmware updates and app updates. I haven't tested the 4K ability of the player, but have seen one of Samsung's 4K TVs and they have such amazing color and clarity that pictures look real. This BD-F7500 player was designed around Samsung's 4K TV and it too has great picture and sound quality. Aside from some minor issues that can be addressed, I highly recommend this player to anyone who is looking for a really strong performing 3D blu-ray player that can pretty much play all the latest digital media formats, that is at the fore-front of blu-ray player technology, and that which is compatible with future 4K TVs.

Update 5/1/13 Re: Player
-------------------------
I have had this player for several weeks now and have noticed some other problems. Being how new this product is it should not be too surprising that some things are left to be ironed out. The web browser can get stuck while surfing if you get a popup and would have to close and reopen the browser. My solution to this is to disable popups under the browser settings. Another issue is the forward and rewind with media files. If the forward and rewind doesn't work, try using the arrows. This is possibly another bug. Still overall an excellent player. I love the picture clarity this player outputs, it makes 3D come alive. But due to a number of minor issues I have dropped my rating from 5 to 4 due because I felt that Samsung could have made the firmware a little better before releasing this product. I understand that every company would want to be first with such a product. I'm sure Samsung will address the minor issues. I still love the capabilities of this player and am happy with my purchase!

Update 5/3/13 Re: Firmware and Wireless
----------------------------------------
FIRMWARE 1008 IS OUT! SAMSUNG IS ACTIVELY FIXING THE ISSUES... COMFORTING.
A couple of days ago I switched from wired to wireless and the performance was better than I thought. The wireless signal was impressive. Playing streaming 3D HD videos was quite smooth and the wireless never dropped when the player was turned off and on. Make sure that you have the latest Firmware! Today I noticed that FIRMWARE 1008 IS OUT and installed it. Looking forward to see what kinds of improvements I can find. It really looks like Samsung is taking care of things and actively fixing this player. That is comforting...
Firmware 1008 notes: One thing that I noticed right off the bat is an improvement in overall player responsiveness and performance, noticeably the menu system and web browser performance are much faster.

Update 5/5/13 Re: NAS Streaming Media
--------------------------------------
In an effort to find the best software for streaming video files from my ARM processor NAS to the Samsung player, I ended up switching from Serviio to Plex. The main reason for the switch is because the latest Serviio app is in beta testing and the older version I had didn't always work quite right. And since I didn't need any video transcoding when using this player, I tried Plex and really liked it. The advantages of Plex over Serviio was its ability to get metadata and covers for all your media files, how nice that was, and let you access your media just about anywhere with any device that can play them. The advantages of Serviio over Plex is mainly in its ability to transcode in realtime all of your media so that it is compatible with all your devices regardless of the type of file.
At least for now I am staying with Plex.

Some Notes on Plex...
When installing Plex, make sure you install Plex Media Server on the machine that host your files and on the client (blu-ray player) make sure you install Plex there. So for the Samsung player, just go to Samsung Apps with your player, find Plex and install it. Plex Media Server and Plex are two different apps.
When streaming wirelessly with Plex, I got stuttering audio. This can be fixed by going wired or playing files with less video resolution. I was streaming really high resolution HD video when I got stuttering audio. I went back to wired. One thing left to try with wireless streaming is to increase the amount of buffering in Plex.

--------------------------------------
Update 6/7/13 Re: NAS Streaming Media
--------------------------------------
I stopped using Plex and went with Twonky Media on my QNAP ARM NAS as the unofficial Plex for QNAP ARM doesn't work too well. Twonky seems to work really well on the ARM NAS.

-------------------------
Update 6/7/13 Re: Web Browser
-------------------------
Web browsing is better done with your computer or tablet if you're going to spend a lot of time surfing. At times the browser on the player may blank out and reset on you... this is very frustrating. Samsung really need to put some work on the browser. I am not happy with it.

-------------------------
Update 6/7/13 Re: Fast Forward and Rewind of Media
-------------------------
For those people having problems forwarding and rewinding their media playback using the remote, here is a great solution I discovered. Hit the "Tools" button on the remote and find the "Time Bar" adjustment and scroll away! This is the fastest way I found to go forward or rewind when playing media.
