Customer Reviews for Dynex™ Wi-Fi Built-in Blu-ray Player
Review 1 for Dynex™ Wi-Fi Built-in Blu-ray Player
What's great about it: Easy to use, great price, small footprint, DVDs and Blu-Rays look amazing
What's not so great: Limited connection output options, moderately noisy when loading a disc, somewhat slow Blu-Ray load times
I'd been looking for a simple, inexpensive blu-ray player for a while now. I learned my lesson with DVD players when it comes to spending large amounts of money for electronics, only to have the 20 dollar player outlast the 250 dollar players by years. So when I saw this one on sale, I decided to pick it up. And I've been very glad I did.
Setup out of the box took about 15 minutes, connected to my network with no problem at all, connected to my Netflix and Pandora accounts in a few seconds and it was ready to go. Since our satellite was down and waiting for repair and upgrade for almost two weeks, this player got a real workout during that time. The menu is pretty intuitive, works just fine with my Logitech universal remote, and had no problem playing any DVD or Blu-Ray disc that I threw at it. I have not had one single issue with it so far.
As others have mentioned, it can be a little noisy at first spinning up a disc, but compared to my XBox 360, which sounds like a jet trying to take off, it's practically silent, and it never took over 30 - 60 seconds to load a Blu-Ray for me. DVDs spin up instantly and look amazing on this. It also does a great job of handling sound. Netflix is a little slow to load, but not enough to be a problem, but once it's all loaded it plays flawlessly for me. No stuttering, stopping for buffering, dropping connection or other issues, and we're on of the lower tier internet speeds. Pandora looks and sounds great, too, and I had no problem connecting an external USB drive via the front USB port. For those of you having a problem with this, make sure your drive is FAT formatted, instead of NTSF.
It is a basic player, so don't expect it to surf the internet or have a bunch of extra features, but basic is all we really needed since we already have other devices that fill in the gaps if we need them to. This player has a small footprint, which is also a plus, and we're extremely satisfied with it, especially for the price.

What's great about it: Small, easy to set up, good quality picture for price, sufficient features for average viewer.
What's not so great: Reliability. Video card failed after 5 months of use
This was a great deal at Best Buy. For Christmas 2011 I bought one for $59.99. I hooked it up and within 30 minutes was watching Netflicks and new BlueRay disks. I loved it so much that I went back and bought another for the guest room that doesn't have a cable connection. I was very pleased with price, performance and ease of use as well as ease of setup.
Unfortunately 5 months later the unit in the family room has a failed video output. I am not sure what the problem is but after researching on line this appears to be a common problem. If you do purchase one of these units I heartily recommend the extended warranty otherwise you are taking your chances.

What's great about it: When it works, it's not a bad blu ray player
What's not so great: Defective, Stops working after a few months.
I got this product as a Christmas gift. Loved it and was very happy happy with it. In Feb, I go to turn it on and there's sound but no picture. Called in geek squad to see if it was an issue with the tv. It wasn't, they said the player was defective.
Brought it back to exchange for another one. This time it lasted three months. Turned it on today and once again there's sound but no picture. Done with this defective product.

I was a bit apprehensive about this unit because of some of the reviews BUT when I got to the store to purchase this unti they had an "open-box" return for $49.99... I bought the unit, took it home, and had EVERYTHING fully functional within 15 minutes INCLUDING a new Netflix Subscription!!! The picture (HDMI) is STUNNING - true 1080P... GREAT BUY!!! I am buying another for my bedroom (grin)...

This was exactly what I'd hoped for in a low-end BluRay player. The internet features work exactly as I'd hoped, playback of discs is easy, and I couldn't be happier. For the price, this is unbeatable.

What's great about it: While it works, everything about it is outstanding. Easy set up, great picture, nice remote, good apps
What's not so great: My SECOND one failed for same reason, completely lost picture
Initially absolutely delighted with this. Did everything well.
After three weeks, suddenly no picture. Took a few minutes to figure it out, first nothing on screen at all. Then put in a disc, could hear the sound, but no picture. Checked all the connections, all were intact and unchanged.
Figured it was a fluke. Got another one. Two weeks later, same thing. No picture. Sound still worked.
Usually I'm a fan of store brands. We have an Insignia 42" TV that is great. This one however has been a big disappointment.

I used the reviews via Best Buy and am glad I did so.The item was excellent as others have shared via this process. No skipping on Netflix. Set up via WiFi was easy and straight forward. I have not used the Blu-Ray player but I got it for only rare use of DVDs. I wanted a WiFi capable player with Netflix connectivity. It also has other channels for watching Funny or Die, TED, etc.

What's great about it: Good picture, easy to set up.
What's not so great: Slow load times...
Overall, it does what it's supposed to, but I am having a hard time adjusting to how long it takes to start playing a blu ray disc. And if you buy it for Netflix, which is the main reason I chose this player, it seems to take FOREVER to load your Netflix user screen. I'm used to watching Netflix on my PS3 which loads right up without delay. Granted, the blu ray player is farther from my wireless router, but it's borderline ridiculous how long it takes to bring up my account. Oh, and I'm not in love with the remote either. Either it came with really weak batteries or it has a very short range. Not a complete disaster, but if I had to do it again, I would have bought a nicer player. Got what I paid for.

Great little Blu-ray! Literally plug it in and it's ready to go! The built in Wi-Fi makes this thing super easy to use and it's already loaded with Netflix, Cinema Now, Hulu Plus, Pandora and You Tube. The DVD works great too. It performs at a $1000 price but you get to buy it for only $80!! What a deal!!!!!

What's great about it: easy to set up
What's not so great: stops working
I've tried two of these Blu-Ray players and have returned both. The first one would eat my discs. I would insert a disc, it would play just fine, but it would get stuck in the machine when I hit eject, causing me to take the machine apart and retrieve it. The second one just stopped working after about 5 weeks. I used it one night, went to turn it on the next night, and nothing happened. It's very easy to set up, I had no problems with streaming or playing DVD's or Blu-Rays, but none of that matters if it stops working. Save yourself some hassle and just get a more expensive player. It'll be worth it in the end.

Don't waste your money or time. When it works it is fine. Bought in December and I am now on my third unit. Works for about 3 weeks then just stops working. Will never buy another Dynex product. Huge mistake, should have spent the extra $30 and got a Samsung or Sony.
