Does what it should

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works as it should. Doesn't require drivers for Windows 8 or 10. Nice for adding a wired NIC port to ultrabooks or Windows-based tablets with a USB port. You do need to have a USB 3.0 port to get full 1Gbps speeds. Will work with USB 1.1/2.0 ports, but you will be limited to about 480Mbps for USB 2.0 and 12Mbps for USB 1.1 FYI. Nice metal construction makes it durable. It also works with Mac computer as well.

Good filter for the money

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good filter for general photography (non-professional). No issues that I can see in my pictures. Circular Polarizers help to enhance blues and greens (skies and grass/plants) in photos, so in general, a polarizer is a must for any photographer: beginner or pro.

Snap clear photos with this Insignia™ NS-UVF405 lens filter, which filters out ultraviolet light while offering a thin profile that stays out of the way of your shots. The filter protects your lens against dust and scratches.

Good general filter
on January 6, 2016
Posted by: Sithawkeye
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is overall a good filter to have for your camera. I wouldn't recommend it for pro use, but for general use (hobbyists and beginners) it works fine. Decently priced. When you do get to the pro level, you do need to start paying attention to the quality of glass used, so these may not be high enough quality for pro grade. But for the budget shopper or hobbiyst, they work fine. If you can afford a little more, get the Premium line that bestbuy carries (it's in a black box, can't remember the brand name).

Keep your notebook moving with this PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick. The low 1300MHz frequency speed helps to reduce temperatures across the laptop while ensuring it still has enough speed to keep data flowing to important programs. Each PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick is ideal for motherboards that have 1.5-volt RAM slots.

It's a memory stick - pretty simple
on January 6, 2016
Posted by: Sithawkeye
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not much I can say here other than it worked as it should, no issues. I do like PNY's quality compared to some of the other lower-cost brands out there. Adding memory is a fast and easy way to possibly improve computer performance. Price is a bit higher than other places (I paid about $45 for this module, whereas most places are about $20-30, but I was in a rush and needed it same day--didn't have time go elsewhere). On a side note, BestBuy is sometimes more expensive on items, although sales items are usually good bargains in many cases. Non-sale items are sometimes overpriced compared to online stores and other physical stores.

Stream media with this Samsung BD-J5900/ZA Blu-ray player. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Great for the hobbyst
on October 25, 2015
Posted by: Sithawkeye
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good bag for hobby photographers. May not have enough room of you have several lenses or larger focal length lenses or a big camera body. Good quality construction. Side access may be succinctly with larger camera bodies. I did like the extra strap to make it more like a backpack but ultimately returned for an actual backpack as I have several lenses and accessories I need to carry so not quite enough room for my needs.

Good quality at a great price.

Overall a good tripod at a great price. It isn't the lightest one out there but is good for non-pro shooters who just need a good tripod. I do like the fact it separates into a monopod. Center support is a bit annoying so you don't get as much flexibility as others when working on uneven ground.

Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, this Samsung BD-J5700/ZA Blu-ray player allows you to enjoy streaming media from your favorite content providers, including Netflix, Pandora and more. AllShare DLNA capability lets you stream content stored on your home network.
Can I stream movies saved on my home network via wireless?
I have my video library saved on my computer which is connected to my wireless home network. Can this device stream movies saved on my home network via wireless?
Or you can just get the Blu ray player for play video and a Roku player. roku players (even the cheap $50 model) can use the Plex media player app to play media from a Plex media server running on a networked PC.

No I don't think you can with this player, as it runs Opera. So unless Samsung has an Opera app to play video files from a network (which I couldn't find myself when I was looking fora Blu ray player) you will need to get one of the more expensive models, preferrably one that supports Smart Hub--then you can get Plex media client which will allow you to play media from a Plex media serve running on a networked PC. I got the BD-H6500 model, and it's a bit more money, but well worth it considering it does everything a new Smart TV will do basically.

Does this come with a cable to connect to the tv?
Do I need to purchase separate cable to connect from blu-ray player to tv before I could use it, or does it already come with it?
No it does not include a cable.
