Love this comp - but it has a hard time playing NetFlix movies without slowing down and nearly crashing - Thought of returning it - Any suggestions?

Have you tried opening the task manager and ending the Link or airplay process? I've noticed this eats up a HUGE amount of memory and slows down the laptop. If you don't use this program, you can probably end it or uninstall it.

I would return it. Mine didn't work out if the box and 4 months later I am still waiting for it to get fixed. Samsung sucks.

I too am having the same issue. When I playback the videos in large or fullscreen mode, it's jerky. In small mode, it's fine. I can't get Flip to respond to my email and can't get through on the phone, so I might be returning this one.

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

I have owned my Samsung Blu-ray for a few months now and have had a very good experience. Amazon is somewhat slow to load and Netflix can be even slower sometimes, but that has very little to do with the unit and more to do with networks and servers. If you get a frozen screen, the first thing to do is hit the return button. This will reboot the connection, taking you back to the activation screen to try again. Sometimes Netflix can get overloaded and you will not get on again. Again this would be nothing to do with the unit. Hope this helps. I love using it.

Never been able to watch any movies or t.v. shows. I have to restart it a lot, when the screen doesn't want to turn back on. Apps freezes or force closes on their own, especially the browser..

I am having the same problem as mentioned above. For some reason, Netflix movies (Universal) are not playing and I receive a plain black screen. The numbers say 00:00:00 but play will not function at all. There are no more updates according to the system tools. I am at a complete loss. Streaming works great on my end. I do not have any problems with Netflix stream.

I had that issue and converted the movie to mp4 with db converter and fixed the problem but from changing hard drives all the time the usb port broke off I am having issues with a different brand as well so they are not very hardy is what I have found was thinking of trying the chrome cast but that's later tired of these devises braking and don't want to power the tv and the computer to watch movies.

2015 and still having these troubles. Often takes 3 to 4 minites for netflix to load. Sometimes we have to stop and restrart multiple times. Planning to use ROKU and skip the hub altogether.

You need to also get a compatible keyboard to control it. It runs the Netflix app very well in my experience.

I have the 50-inch version and I have still have issues with Netflix, but nowhere near the problems I was having with my Sony Blu-ray. The problems mostly happen during peak hours (5:00PM - 9:00PM). As far as 4K streaming from Netflix...I don't think they have 4K content yet. I did have the Sony Server that offered some true 4K content, but it took forever to download videos (15 hours to download Elysium and I have a 35MB connection). I ended up taking the $700 server back since you don't get much for your money. Hope this helps.

I've also had issues with this unit in regards to standard DVD problems, e.g., choppy, freezes, disc errors. I've also noticed lack of audio sync occasionally with both streaming and on Blu-ray discs...yeah, go figure. It's really annoying because we've had to keep our old dvd player around to watch older materials. To anyone deciding, it might be worth just getting a cheaper Blu-ray player and buying a Netflix box separately (around $100).

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

I have had this computer for a couple months and so far I have not had any issues. I watch movies, netflix etc and check email. So far it had been great, I would suggest a mouse because the touch mouse can be sticky

We've had this player for awhile, and just recently we haven't been able to play certain Blu-ray discs, either. Seems to be Universal discs. I feel like I'm wasting my money on Netflix because I've had to send back the last 4 movies without even watching them.

At the beginning I had issues with netflix. Solution: make sure your internet provides at least 9Mbps in download (test it),wire your connection instead using wifi.

I haven't had a problem with Netflix or YouTube. It's a decent little computer and super thin and portable. Biggest gripe is that the paint where your hands rest when you type comes off pretty easily with repeated use and the keyboard has a tendency to double letters.

I have the same issue. Same movie, same player. I have netflix'd this movie twice thinking that it may be a bad disc, but both did exactly the same thing you describe. I guess I cant watch it. :-(
