Jane, Watford

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Very easy to set up - I'm a girl and even I could do it
I've not noticed the fan being noisy
Nice and loud
Blue ray wicked
Bad points:: The speaker wire for the sub-woofer not very long and had to extend it - easy to do but worth bearing in mind. The wires for the other speakers faily long, personally we still had to extend but that's only because we had to put all along the skirtings to hide wire.

Bad points:: Not the sleek design it could be as per other samsung bluray players.
