 For new technology, it's pretty good June 19, 2008
C. R. ALVERSON (Chicago, Il)
This is my first Blu-Ray player and I'm pretty happy with it. I also only paid $180 for it because it was an Open Box item at Best Buy. Having said that...
It is a little slow but after reading a bunch of reviews for many other players, it seems that they all are somewhat slow. I remember when DVD players were new and they were slow too, at first. So, in time, I imagine newer models will run much more quickly. I'm not in a huge hurry when I sit down to watch a movie so the fact that it takes a little while is REALLY no big deal. It just makes me appreciate the quality of picture and sound of the movie THAT much more when it begins to play.
I have a 1080P 42' Panasonic plasma tv and the picture this Blu-Ray player puts out is amazing. Very sharp and very clear. I also have a 5.1 Dolby Digital home theatre system, not the 5.1 Dolby HD, and the sound seemed better that my Sony 1080P up-conversion player puts out. So, I am thoroughly please with both the picture and sound.
This Blu-Ray player has an Ethernet connection which is awesome. Unlike some of the other Blu-Ray players on the market, you have to download the updates on your computer and burn them to a disc and then load them onto the Blu-Ray player. Now if I wanted to, I could do that with this model but Samsung designed it so that I don't have to buy and waste blank cds. The only downside to downloading straight off the internet using the Blu-Ray player is the fact that there is no status indicator showing me the progress of the downloading update. I just updated mine and it was very simple to do and it only took maybe 20 minutes or less to download and install the update. It just takes a little bit of patience. While I was waiting for it to let me know that I can update it, I just watched TV and flipped back to the Blu-Ray every 5 minutes or so to check up on it. I think the lack of status notification is the only true set back on this Blu-Ray player.
So, if you can buy this model for a good price, like I did, I would recommend buying it. It's a great Blu-Ray player. But if you can't find it for cheap and your forced to fork over $400... don't. Buy yourself the Panasonic something model 30. That's the one I would liked to have gotten but I just couldn't pass up on the cheap cheap price of the Samsung 1400!
Good Entry Level Blu Ray Player June 13, 2008
itsme (New Jersey, NJ USA)
I've had this player for about a week. right out of the box, i upgraded the firmware and because it had an ehternet port (major selling point for me), the upgrade took about 10 minutes. The picture is amazing and I only have a 1080i TV. The only complaint I have is when I watched "3:10 to Yuma" on Blu Ray Disc. It played up until 47 minutes and then it froze up. I took the movie out and put it back in and it played up until 1 hr and 17 minutes in and froze again. I did the same thing and it played for 2 minutes and froze again. I went to the Samsung website, and saw that there have been problems with that movie playing in Samsung players but they were working on a solution. another very small gripe, is that the there is no resume feature, but missing about 30 seconds of a movie you are going to watch again isn't that bad. Overall, i did not want to spend over $300 and i didn't want to have the hastle of downloading firmware to a CD-R for every update. If you are looking for a goor entry level player for about $300, i don't think you can beat this Blu Ray player.
Problematic CD playback June 13, 2008
D. Phillips (SoCal)
Unit will not play audio CD's through the digital ports unless the HDMI-connected display is on. This makes no sense and only wastes energy.
