Samsung BD-P1400 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player Review
Bought this player from Best Buy in October 2007 for 9.99 and have very few major problems with it. I keep the firmware up-to-date by downloading the lastest iso from the Samsung site, burning it as an "image" to cd-r, insert it in the player, which instantly recognizes it as a firmware upgrade...follow the prompts & it's done(approximately 20 minutes).
This is one of the earlier blu-ray players, but probably one of the best ones at the time I bought it. The picture quality and sound is excellent and it does a decent job of upconverting regular DVD's. It has no problems playing movies or photos that I've burned to DVD on my computer(dvd-r, dvd-rw, cd-r), you just have to have the correct software & knowledge on how to compile & burn the movies.
Blu-ray dvd's are slow to load, but I've never owned any other blu-ray player for comparison. The only DVD that failed to load the first time was Ironman, the player just shut off, powered down, tried again & it worked. The player buttons don't respond on a couple of my blu-ray movies at the end of the movie, unless I press the Stop button just before the credits. If this happens, just power off & on, then the disc can be ejected.
Overall, it has been an excellent & reliable blu-ray player. It's been discontinued, but I'll buy another later model Samsung when this one dies.
FYI, PC World gives top rating to Panasonic & Samsung blu-ray players.
