It arrived in 3 days with carton and contents in perfect condition. I now have 3 days experience with Samsung BD-H5100. It replaces a PS3 as my BRD/DVD/CD/Streaming (Netflix) player. I plugged in HDMI and Ethernet connectors to BD-H5100, then unit to socket, then hit power button. Home screen in 8 seconds, arrow keys to Netflix, hit key in center of arrows. Netflix screen in a few seconds. First time you will have to enter your login and password, after that when shutting down, DO NOT "quit" Netflix, or you will have to go through login procedure again....instead use "HOME" button and then hit red power button on remote, top LEFT to power down. Netflix will remember login and password that way. BR/DVD/CD play is easy, BUT I recommend using the eject button on the remote to open and close the tray as the tray feels a bit delicate and if you're clumsy, like me, you might damage it. The BR/DVD/CD screens come up quick. I was concerned about the quality of play compared to the PS3 which in my opinion is the bench mark. I played "Avatar" for comparison. The quality ON SCREEN is exactly the same. So is the audio. My audio setup is Sennheiser RS180 and imaging is the same. I recommend navigating "settings" if for no other reason, to familiarize yourself with what's there. You can download updates in settings and today, my third day, a pop up showed an update available so I downloaded it. I didn't notice anything really different except the Netflix greet screen had a different look to it. I changed nothing in settings, just let it do what it does. Power usage must be low because by hand touch toward the back of the unit slightly to right of center it feels just above tepid. The PS3 has a fan to cool it down and you can feel how hot IT runs by putting your hand around the back of the unit. The hotter something runs, the more kWh it uses. Heat = $$$$$. Think incandescent vs. fluorescent. This unit takes up very little space. User friendly, the remote build is high quality, logical and feels good in the hand. I've read negative reviews but have had none of those experiences. Some might need to read the manual before they begin. There is also a WIFI and 3D version of this player. I HIGHLY recommend this unit. UPDATE 11/28/14: This unit is still operating magnificently. I had read reviews where after a short time there were glitches. I, again, have not had any of those experiences. A few more things I would like to note. I have a Samsung 32" LCD LN32A650A1F TV...a bit ancient technologically. The TV is at about a 90 degree angle difference from the player which makes my line of sight remote difficult to use to the player. However, since it IS a Samsung....the TV picks up the signal and sends the commands from the remote to the player via HDMI. A really nice bonus I discovered accidentally. The TV and player communicate. Isn't THAT sweet?!!! I suggest playing with all the buttons on the remote to see in what ways it helps to navigate through movies, be it BR/DVD/CD or streaming. Review: A Very Good Samsung Blu-ray - I purchased this player "used-like new" from desertcart Warehouse Deals for a very attractive price. When delivered, some packaging was absent from the box, but the player had no visible cosmetic blemishes and worked just fine. I was so pleased that three weeks later I purchased another "used-very good" also from desertcart Warehouse Deals. This one appeared to be new, never out of the box, and the price was about $11. less than the first. The player does everything it is advertised to do, with a very pleasing user interface. It has many apps available, and is reasonably quick to load them. The unit is not WiFi, but if you read the item description, you should know that before purchase - you need an Ethernet cable to connect to the apps and DLNA. Also, be aware that desertcart Prime is not available as one of the apps. If you want desertcart, WiFi, or 3D capability, they are available on other, more expensive Samsung models, or choose a machine from a different manufacturer. Problems with Netflix, reported by other customers, have apparently been resolved, as I have had no problems accessing Netflix. Blu-rays and DVDs also play without any difficulty. As a side note, the Samsung BD-F5100 (that's "F" not "H") is being sold by some vendors, including desertcart, but is a 2013 model and does not offer nearly as many apps as the BD-H5100. I made the mistake of buying the "F" model from another vendor and returned it. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchases, and I would recommend checking out the savings available by purchasing one of the used units from desertcart Warehouse Deals. UPDATE: 9/6/14. Since I bought this player, Samsung has provided a software update that has added desertcart Prime as an available app. If you own this model, run a firmware update, and you should see that desertcart Prime is available. ## Features - Full HD 1080p Blu-ray Disc playback - Access content from Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube - HDMI and Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ICDAAX4 | | Analog Video Format | NTSC | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo, Surround | | Best Sellers Rank | #237,984 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #135 in Blu-Ray Disc Players | | Brand | Samsung | | Built-In Media | Remote Control | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Audio System, External Hard Drive, Television, USB Drive | | Connectivity Technology | HDMI, USB | | Connector Type | HDMI | | Controller Type | Remote Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,200 Reviews | | File Format | MP4, AVI | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00887276962931 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10.6"L x 7.6"W x 1.5"H | | Item Weight | 2.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Samsung Electronics | | Media Type | Blu-Ray Disc | | Mfr Part Number | BD-H5100 | | Model Name | BD-H5100 | | Model Number | BD-H5100 | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Blu ray support, Surround Sound | | Resolution | 1920x1080 | | Special Feature | Blu ray support, Surround Sound | | Supported Audio Format | Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Surround | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 5.1 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | UPC | 887276962931 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Video Encoding | H.264/AVC | | Video Output Resolution | 1080p | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo, Surround - **Brand:** Samsung - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** HDMI, USB - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Item Weight:** 2.2 pounds - **Media Type:** Blu-Ray Disc - **Model Name:** BD-H5100 - **Resolution:** 1920x1080 - **Special Feature:** Blu ray support, Surround Sound ## Images ![Samsung Electronics BD-H5100 Blu-Ray Disc Player - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UBITF2AJL.jpg) ![Samsung Electronics BD-H5100 Blu-Ray Disc Player - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31IUliP6mOL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: composite video** A: zjpd01,The BD-H5100 supports only HDMI outputs, and has a Coax digital audio output.

I also have Amazon Prime (which I strongly suggest purchasing) and this was eligible for free shipping which was a convincing factor. The player itself is incredibly lightweight. The top of the player has a small touchpad that allows you to control the player easily in-case you lose the remote. The remote is standard as far as Samsung products go. If you're unfamiliar with Samsung electronics: all remotes works for all products. That means this remote works for my television as well as the blu-ray player. And, indeed, this was the case. I turned it on and decided to choose the quick-start option, which allows for the player to remain in an active sleep state when not in use. When you're ready to use the player, it turns on immediately. When I say immediately, I really mean immediately. There is virtually no delay when pressing the power button on the remote for the player. I've used products with quick-start options in the past and none were as responsive as this. Next, I set up my Netflix account to be associated with the player. It didn't provide me with an access code and instead had me log in with my email and password. Fine with me; saved me the trouble of opening my laptop and whatnot. It will keep you logged in until you decide to log yourself out; this includes shutting the player off. Netflix was very responsive and I have zero issues with it still. It also has Hulu and Pandora on it but I don't use those often so I didn't bother checking them out. Overall for the price, this player is easily the best on the market right now. My one complaint is that it doesn't have wifi. I had to hard wire it into the router but we keep it next to the television anyway so this was a non-issue. Still, it's a little strange that it wouldn't have wifi being that this is the most recent model of *this* Samsung product. It's the year 2014; we have dedicated wifi in airport bathrooms. Why isn't this blu-ray player equipped properly? This is the only thing keeping my rating at 4 stars. Otherwise, what a great product. I highly recommend grabbing it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1143319-samsung-electronics-bd-h5100-blu-ray-disc-player](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1143319-samsung-electronics-bd-h5100-blu-ray-disc-player) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
