Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray Disc Player Review

by Lincoln Spector

- The Samsung BD-P1400 ($400 as of 4/24/08) is, at this point, one of the older Blu-ray Disc players currently available. And its features reflect this: It lacks both BonusView for picture-in-picture playback and BD-Live for accessing Internet-connected content.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: nice picture (if working)

Weaknesses: Locks Up - can not retrieve discs

Overall Evaluation: I want my Iron Man DVD back. It is inside and it won't come out! Help! Been using this plaver on about 12 other discs - no big problems - though slow to load and loud (bearable, barely). Picture is good when it works - noticed I can't access all menu items. Was not aware I had to update firmware. Thought I would have a working player for $369. Imagine that was too much to expect. Now I can't even update firmware because locked up. Tried everything (short of sledgehammer). Have tried to contact customer service - NO HELP there! Do not buy SAMSUNG.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: none

Weaknesses: many

Overall Evaluation: Being a huge film buff, I was excited to finally upgrade to Blu-Ray and collect high definition titles. What a disaster it's been since buying this product. Literally, from the first day, I had problems with skipping, pausing and not playing Blu-Rays. After two firmware updates it still didn't work, so I sent it to the shop in NJ where they fixed the problem. It worked well for 90 days, now won't play Blu-Rays at all. so, once again it's back in the shop where they have ordered parts and I'm waiting to see if they can fix it. I've been on the phone with technicians 10 times and all have agreed that they provide more technical support on this product than any other. It's loud, slow, unreliable and a major disappointment. Save yourself the headaches and frustrations and do not buy this player...
