The Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray Disc Player is an exceptional multi-format disc player with support for 3D content, built-in Wi-Fi, and access to online streaming when paired with an internet connection.
First off, if you have 3D content the BD-D6500 offers full support for 3D visual experiences that will draw you into the action of your favorite movies and games. Along with additional 3D accessories (sold separately), you're all set to start enjoying the intense 3D visuals encoded on an increasing number of Blu-ray discs.
For your collection of DVDs, this player has the answer. It upscales to near-HD picture quality when you watch your favorite DVDs. In addition to the sharp imaging of full HD 1080p resolution, it also supports 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i resolutions. Since it can support playback at 24 frames per second which is the way most movies were filmed, you can enjoy cinema quality imaging effortlessly, along with a TV that also supports this frame rate.
While this player offers superb video playback capabilities, it also features built-in Wi-Fi along with an internet connection and gives you access to Samsung apps once you get online. Samsung Smart Hub gives you access to hundreds of web apps to give you additional interactivity. The player also supports BD Live and BONUSVIEW content, and if you download a Samsung app to your compatible mobile device like a compatible smartphone, you can control everything from one device.
All of this connectivity, high performance video, and audio processing comes in a slim package that looks smart anywhere you put it. The BD-D6500 is an exceptional entertainer from top to bottom, and its appearance is no exception. While it is compact enough to fit in any room of the house, its black and silver finish ensures it lends a sophisticated edge to any space.
- 3D Ready
- Take advantage of immersive, realistic 3D visuals with this disc player. Along with 3D content materials, a 3D-ready HDTV or home theater projector and 3D glasses (sold separately), you're on your way to stepping into the next dimension of home entertainment. With more and more Blu-ray discs being released in 3D, this disc player is fully equipped for the future.

It also handles 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i resolutions for flexible compatibility with your source materials. With BD Wise, the player automatically sets the resolution to match that of the Blu-ray or DVD if you connect it via HDMI to a TV with this same feature.
- 24p Playback
- The Movie Frame (24Fs) mode allows you to adjust the player's HDMI output to 24 frames per second for improved picture quality. Since most films are shot using this frame rate, this allows you to see it as the director intended. This function works with TVs that support this frame rate while the payer is in the HDMI 1080i or 1080p resolution mode.
- Upscale Your DVDs
- It can be expensive to upgrade your collection to Blu-rays, and DVDs are still a great way to enjoy classic films and new releases alike. With the BD-D6500, you can see your DVD library in near-HD quality thanks to the integrated upscaling feature.

The "All Search" lets you type a phrase into the search window and access a list of material from subscribed channels, the internet, a home network and other wirelessly connected devices, including smart phones.
- BD-Live
- When you're watching a Blu-ray disc that supports the BD-Live function, you can download content provided by the disc manufacturer through a network connection. This gives you access to movie extras related to the disc you are watching to give you a fuller entertainment experience.
- Anynet +
- The BD-D6500 supports Samsung Anynet + (HDMI CEC). This network system automatically controls Samsung AV devices and eliminates the need to use different remote controls for different devices. With the Anynet + feature, all you need is one remote control for a simple user-friendly experience.

It supports decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS, DTS-HD HRA and DTS-HD Master Audio with support for 7.1 channels (both Dolby and DTS). The unit features digital audio output as well as HDMI for high resolution sound to accompany your favorite movies.

Got this player because I was looking for a reasonably priced Blu Ray player with built in WiFi that I could connect to an older big screen TV via component video while also being able to use with more modern HDMI TVs when I was ready to upgrade. This unit met all my requirements. Wireless setup was not as straightforward as I had hoped when attempting to connect to a MacBook via Internet Sharing. This is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. I now use ethernet directly but think a dedicated wireless access point should resolve my wireless issue. Overall, great product though! Sleek design, great picture, and good apps (Netflix, Vudu, etc.)!

My PS3 got the yellow light of death, and I wasn't playing many games on it so I decided to just get a standalone blu-ray player. I had some good experience with Samsung in general and some of their blu-ray players specifically, and this looked like a good bet. Maybe I was too used to the overpowered processor in the PS3, but this thing takes, no joke, two minutes to load Netflix, and besides that the Netflix app has been buggy and slow. I also discovered that it won't play several of my blu-ray discs. I haven't tried all of my discs yet, but it only played 1 out of 3 so far that I watched with no problem on the PS3. Unless there is a firmware update in the next few days the addresses these problems, I am planning to return this.

Comments about Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray Disc Player:
I've been very late to the Blu Ray party but after seeing a couple of them at friend's houses well, it was time to upgrade. The connection to my home wi fi was super simple, took all of 3 minutes. It then took a couple of minutes to download and install the various apps. Been having a ball watching some TV shows on Netflix. Will be watching some Blu Ray when they arrive in tomorrow's mail. So far the streaming has been fine but it is the middle of the day now and not prime time so we will see.

Comments about Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray Disc Player:
I bought this player to replace a 5 year old Samsung that had started to reject some of my picture DVDs. So far I'm extremely satisfied with the ease and quality of this model. All of my older DVDs now play again.

Comments about Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray Disc Player:
What a nice-looking, efficient, feature-packed blu-ray player this is! You have all the internet features in this player that you would if you purchased an expensive "Smart" television set. You can wirelessly access NetFlix, Vudu, Blockbuster, HuluPlus and more, including various Samsung apps. And the price is excellent.

Comments about Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray Disc Player:
This blue-ray player works great and is very good for the price.
The only complaint that i have is that id you try and stream video from your computer via windows media player or using the samsung allshare it does not work very well.
The ps3 handles this much much better even though this dvd player has DLNA capability.
Overall if you want to play Blue-Ray, Stream Prandora Netflix, Hulu Plus it works perfectly.

This is a great player for media from the past, present and future. I'm using it with my Haier HD TV and my Bose Wave music system. It is so thin it almost gets lost on my wall unit, also the white illumination is a poor choice alongside the other green and blue.
