Hello Jill, I am not sure because I purchased them as gifts for my friend's girls, but I can ask my friend and will report back.

It lags, unfortunately. That is the only issue I have but I installed apps for daughter to view kid's stories, songs, abcs etc

thanks for your question but it will not stream Netflix it doesn't even have it on the there. it is very limited it does have youtube and Shoutcast radio and there hasn't been any update for a long time so maybe it might get it but i doubt it will get it it is a very good media player for any video you get from the web it will play it. it will not play web m video though but all the other common video it will play but if your looking for Netflix or the other services look elsewhere hope this helps you out

Thats a long freeze. I've never had one like that but I had plenty when I was using this player. It would freeze for about 10 seconds in several Blu-ray movies I owned. I've only heard about it from a handful of people so I'm wondering if random players are leaving the factory bad. Can you get a decent Blu-ray player for under 200 bucks? I had a Samsung before this that had Audio sync problems. At this point I have like 15 Blu-ray discs and no player. I refuse to pay more than 200 for one as I could spend a little more than that and build a Home Theater PC.

The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do. It works great on Blu-ray, but I noticed that when I am using Netflix, sometimes the machine just hangs-up and stops working altogether, and I have to basically "reboot" it by turning it off and then back on. It has it's hicups, but for the money I guess it isn't too bad a machine. It is just a little aggravating sometimes. But if you buy one and have trouble with it, I discovered a trick to get it to update correctly. This takes care of most of the problems these machines have (I have 3 of them). If you buy one send me another message through Amazon and I will help you with it if you want.

Games run ok. Screens a little small for gaming in my opinion. Thats why I own a PlayStation. Netflix runs flawlessly over WiFi. Depending on your signal runs fine over data, but you better have an unlimited data plan.

I just tried viewing a Netflix movie using the NB-505. Even upgraded to 2GB RAM, the video is decidedly jerky. I would not recommend this for Netflix. However, it plays local video just fine.

Ive had it for over 6months. I really like it. It streams hulu..Netflix and more. Only downfall is that it won't stream certain video types directly from the wed.

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.

It does Netflix and vudu but I cannot stress this enough-- it is a piece of CRAP. Mine just died last week after getting progressively worse and refusing to stream Netflix at all. It simply turned itself off and refused to turn back on again. I have a Sony now and I'm much happier with it.

I just bought one of these last week and the picture looks good from any angle. I am very pleased with the picture quality also, as well as it's wi-fi conections. My wife streams Netflix movies on it at least once a day.I hope this has been of some help for you.

I'm not sure the exact answer. But I can tell you: the lag is horrible. I cannot even watch netflix on this tablet. Apps force close (in my opinion due to processor overload). The only thing I'm able to use this for is a giant MP3 player...

I cannot answer for Netflix since I do not have Netflix. However, I do have streaming with Amazon Prime, and it is ATROCIOUS!!! About a quarter of the movies I stream with this samsung player, will all of a sudden and out of the blue stop streaming. The frustrating thing is that when I try to restart the movie, it does not give me the "Resume Play" option, so I have to restart from the beginning and try to guess where it left off. The other day, I was watching "Fatal Instinct" and the player dropped the connection over a dozen times (Im not exaggerating) so frustrated and angry I decided to finish watching the movie on my pc and it never got disconnected once. My old Panasonic blu-ray player NEVER dropped the connection; instead it would pause and pop a screen saying it could not continue in HD and if the movie could continue in standard resolution. Furthermore, it seldom popped that screen.

It plays all of your internet apps, like netflix, hulu, etc. but the main reason i bought it is that it also plays all of your own media. iv'e been consolidating my DVD library onto a big hard drive along with all my pictures and music. This device will easily play all of that.

Absolutely. This is why i bought this over the more fancy streaming devices out there. As i have over 1200 movies on my harddrive and wanted to be able to flip through movies instead of digging out the DVD for it. I run a 4 TB harddrive on it and there is never any lag and works flawlessly every time. It i use it for this and Netflix and does the job as needed.
