See moreThe Samsung BD-P1400 is a capable Blu-ray player at a relatively affordable price. The BD-P1400 has the classic Samsung style. The front of the unit is all glossy black, with a thin strip of silver along the bottom. To the far left is the Power button surrounded by a blue light, which unfortunately can’t be turned off in the settings menu. To the far right is the LED display, which is a little small when viewed from a standard seating distance. The BD-P1400’s high-resolution soundtrack support is excellent. It has onboard decoding for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD High Resolution, which means it can output these soundtracks either in PCM format over the HDMI output or via the analog outputs. The BD-P1400 also offers output for high-resolution soundtracks. Connectivity is also good. There’s an HDMI output capable of carrying both 1080p video signals and high-resolution audio. For high-def analog video, there’s a component video output (limited to 1080i), and there’s an S-Video output and a composite output for standard-def output. On the audio side, there’s the HDMI output, along with 5.1-channel analog outputs, both optical and coaxial digital audio outputs, and stereo analog outputs. Rounding out the connectivity is an Ethernet port, which enables you to upgrade the firmware from the Internet, a feature common to HD DVD players, but very rare among Blu-ray players. This player gives excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies and has an outstanding soundtrack support. However the Samsung BD-P1400 has no memory feature. If a movie is stopped it will start from the beginning. This can be annoying if you pause the movies frequently for breaks. When you pause a movie it will only pause for about 5 minutes, then it will go to the screen saver. After that, the movie will start all over again. This is quite troublesome.

Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray DVD Player - The Rest of the Story
31 March 2008Samsung set themselves apart from the Blu-ray pack last time around in our Secrets DVD Player Benchmark™ with the BD-P1200. While not the best Blu-ray player on the block, it did a commendable job with DVD playback thanks to the utilization of the new Silicon Optix Reon chip. We were really hoping that this would become the de facto standard with their upcoming players, but unfortunately that is just not the case. The new BD-P1400 does bring some compelling features to...

It seems that the time for hi-def player has definitely arrived. Discs can be easily found for buying at any Wal-mart and you can easily rent the latest releases on any Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. And the greatest news is that this month Blu-Ray players have finally dropped below the $300 mark, with players from Samsung ( Read more

Not the best.
Reviewer: N/A, Newegg23 May 2008- Overall 2
Wouldn't have been bad, except that it needed more software updates than should have been necessary for an off-the-shelf product. Read more

Great new-age video player!
Reviewer: Larry from MA, pcRUSH.com13 March 2008- Overall 8
It's all what it's specs say. Great picture and sound. Best picture on HiDef TV and best sound on digital audio amp. Firmware updates needed. A simple cord from unit to router. (suggest broadband) 10-30 minute uploads.(depends on speed) You will have black bars on top & bottom of your wide screen TV. DVD's are being produced in anamorphic widescreen. No full screen DVD's yet. I've rented 30 or so. What's shot on the movie set is what you get. Lose about 15%-20% of your... Read more
