Features

So what’s it going to be? Is this home theater system all about its variety of ports or does it have some more surprises up its sleeve? That’s what you’re going to find out in this next category, which tackles additional features that make up the bulk of the Samsung HT-J5500W’s functionality.

Smart Apps

You can use Opera Apps in order to populate your home theater setup with as many super useful apps as you want. You can turn your regular TV into a smart TV with the help of the Opera Apps platform, and you can stream your favorite content from across other platforms. Aside from the apps themselves, you would be getting access to a smart hub where you can manage and organize all your content, similar to how you would do it on a Smart TV.

3D And Blu-Ray

Buying this home theater system also gives you access to a Blu-Ray player, and the capability of running movies in 3D. This is great for anyone that wants to enjoy a more realistic performance on screen, from a visual standpoint. It’s not often that you get a free 3D Blu-Ray player with your sound system purchase, but that’s one of the perks of our Samsung HT-J5500W review.

HD Upscaling

This feature will convert any video content into near HD material. While it wouldn’t be exactly HD, it would be close in quality. It’s impressive given the fact that you can pop in an old DV of a movie you cherish, and have it displayed in near HD quality. It’s an added bonus that you can certainly use a lot if you have a wide library of movies and videos that you would like to watch without setline for their original, not outdated video quality.

True HD

The SAMSUNG HT-J5500W prides itself with the TrueHD feature which upkeeps content at a high-level quality in both the audio and video departments. While the best Dolby tech is securing the audio front, you can enjoy HD and high-quality pictures on the video side of things through things like the HDMI connection.

Downsides

This category will host the problems or issues previous consumers have had, as well as known things that aren’t exactly stellar about the SAMSUNG HT-J5500W. Here is the dark side of this review, where I expose the reasons you might want to pass on this home theater system.

Low Bass

While for some it’s not a big deal, others highly value their bass so this home theater system might feel a little lackluster in that department. Bass is not the strongest quality of the Samsung HT-J5500W, as its bass levels are pretty low.

Poor Surround Sound

While this system is capable of surround sound, it’s not the best iteration of the feature that you will find. While it does a decent job with regular sound, surround sound seems to be a little too much for the Samsung HT-J5500W.

Front Speaker Output

Playback from external sources like a DVD, the radio or even from the TV will occur through the front speakers, while the rear speakers are not used. This can be a massive deal breaker if you’re looking for a universal surround sound system.

Pros

  • TrueHD and upscaling
  • Varied connectivity
  • Smart features

Cons

  • Poor surround sound
  • Front speaker limitation
  • Low bass

To buy Or Not To Buy The Samsung HT-J5500W ?

This system definitely has its quirks but in the end, it can still be a functioning system. It highly depends on what kind of content you’re going to play on the system since it doesn’t do so well with all forms or inputs of content. Make sure to leave a comment. Has this SAMSUNG HT-J5500W review given you a reason to consider buying it?
