Beware - don't buy.......2007-12-26
Do not buy a Samsung Player. We bought one, had to upgrade it to see 'Rise of the silver surfer' and it broke. So right now we have a player that has a Blu-Ray disc stuck in it and the only thing it ever does is greeting us with 'Hello' on its display when powering on and saying 'goodbye' when powering off. We tried to got support but unfortunately all they said is, that it is all our fault. Actually we have been accused very badly for doing something illegal. We got the feeling that they would have loved to put us in prison for trying an upgrade....
Nice player with stunning picture and sound still needs to have some kinks worked out (probably with further firmware updates).......2007-12-26
The Samsung 1400 has become one of the popular selling Blu-ray devices because of price and the general quality of the picture for the device. Overall, this unit is a good, solid performer but it does have its drawbacks and some of the firmware fixes that Samsung has posted lately haven't completely eliminated some of the problems. I wanted a secondary player that was relatively inexpensive, easy to use and could play most of my discs whether they be audio or video. The Samsung 1400 lives up to that need delivering a stunning picture and audio. I'd give the unit 3 1/2 stars and will reserve the right to upgrade (or downgrade)the ranking based on the firmware updates that come through. The price is certainly right for this unit and if you are just diving into Blu-ray this is a solid little performer that has some issues you should be aware.
The picture is truly stunning in both 1080i and 1080p. The picture can be adjusted to a variety of settings depending on what you prefer. The remote is clear and easy to use and any adjustments you want to make to the player are also petty easy to do as well. Audio sounds terrific and there are jacks in the back for 5.1, 2.0, an HMDI cord is included as well. The True HD sound comes across with remarkable clarity as well. The 1400 played DVD-R's, DVD-RW's, CD's, DVD's and Blu-rays with equal ease and did a stellar job with all of these formats. It does take a bit for the 1400 to start the movie but once it does the operation was pretty smooth and quick.
There is also a internet jack in the back for firmware upgrades something that some other models (including the Sony model currently nearest in price and comparable features)doesn't have which means you should be able to upgrade as needed should you have any problems.
There are a few negatives that consumers should be aware of as well. I haven't had any problems with jitter (unlike some folks here)but even after the firmware update (as of 12/24/07)I still do have occasional problems with audio/video synching (where you have lip flap because the lips don't match the audio). Usually this is pretty easily corrected (I push stop and then push start again) but it shouldn't continue to be a problem AFTER the firmware upgrade. I'm hoping that Samsung will have this issue fixed fairly soon. It's only happened on two discs ("Ghostrider" and "Star Trek: The Original Series" when I wanted to watch the non-HD-DVD side of the disc on this player)so far but it is annoying. It's not an isolated problem related just to the 1400 as it has happened with other players (and HD-DVD players as well)but it wasn't a problem that I ever experienced with a DVD player. Keep in mind, however, that any Blu-ray or HD-DVD player has more in common with a computer hard drive than it does with a DVD player). It's a minor annoyance but, again, something that shouldn't be occurring on even an irregular basis.
The booklet that Samsung has included reminds me of a poorly edited Reaader's Digest version of a novel--you get something of the story but miss the significance because so much is missing from the story. For example, when I had problems updating the firmware, there wasn't enough information to help me problem solve the issue. I figured it out on my own just fine but it could have been resolved much more quickly if there were more information on how to deal with firmware issues.
The update for the firmware took about 30 minutes from the moment it began downloading the changes until it asked me if I wanted to update the firmware. I suspect that most of that had more to do with internet traffic than with the firmware update itself (or at least I hope so). When I did have questions for Samsung and elected to call them vs. accessing them via their website, I couldn't get through at all. It seems to me that it would behoove Samsung to have more information with easier access outside of going to their website and struggling through the large variety of options.
Overall, this is a solid performer that has its quirks. I say quirks because most of the minor problems can be fixed up with competent updates to the website for download. I like the ease of use and the image/sound quality beat out the Sony that I used for comparison. Also, it had some nice bells and whistles missing from the Sony (for example the internet port in the back for updates). I'm pleased with the performance so far although I would like to see the firmware issue with synching audio/video (a big issue for me)be resolved asap.
Sending it back to Amazon.......2007-12-25
I don't think this is the worst Blu-ray/DVD player, but I have experienced inexcusable problems during playback in which a player of this price range just shouldn't have. Every five to ten minutes, the frame rate would unexpectedly slow down for a second or two, causing the video to become very jittery. It also had a really hard time playing back a slightly scratched Blu-ray disc from Netflix. When I tried the disc on my Playstation 3, none of the playback problems were apparent.
The Samsung BD-1400 definitely needs to go back into the oven for a while longer because it's just not done yet. Hopefully a software update will be issued soon to address the technical problems this player has. I advise any potential buyer to be aware this player is not going to offer 100% trouble free performance. For the price and value, I would still recommend the Playstation 3. It offers better Blu-ray playback, as well as future proof updates to upcoming Blu-ray software profiles.
AWESOME BLU-RAY PLAYER.......2007-12-24

Great Player at Great Price!.......2007-12-16
Don't let the one star reviews dissuade you from buying this fine Blu-ray player. Most of those are desperate attempts by HD-DVD supporters to promote a format that they obviously think will not survive on its own merits.
I have had no problems with the Samsung BD-P1400. I just plugged it in, connected it to the internet and started the firmware upgrade utility. After about 20 minutes, the firmware upgrade was successful and I played my first movie without a glitch. Every movie I've played since has also played flawlessly. You can also upgrade the firmware by burning a CD or if you don't have internet, Samsung will send it to you.
The BD-P1400 is an excellent player at a great price!
I think I'll use this in my boat........2007-11-30
received my BD-P1400 on my day off so I was able to set it up and stick in a SD movie within a few minutes. My first thought. Hmmm, the upconverting didn't look as good as my Toshiba D-VR600 ( both using Monster 1000 HDMI cables).Very surprising! Well I run to block buster to rent Live Free Or Die Hard. Well it wouldn't load up the disk.. @#$%!! I had read somewhere else that the firmware had to be upgraded. This is a PITA. I plug in my ethernet cable to the back of the player and start the DL. While I'm waiting I decide to watch satellite TV, I check on it in about 20 minutes and the player has reverted to the blue Samsung screen. I go back through the menu options and I still have the same FW version.. So I go the the process a second time.. samething!! Come to find out after the FW download is complete you have just a few seconds ( I think three) to confirm the DL or it cancels it self. You have to sit there and watch your TV screen and make sure you don't miss the end of the DL. After that it take about 15 minutes to process the DL. This part you can snooze through.
After a hour and a half of two unsuccessful DL and one good one the players still didn't play Die Hard! You have to DL and even newer FW.
SO after downloading two firmware version. It finally played Die Hard but the video jittered about 4 times through the movie. I'll give it another shot with a different movie but if it does the samething I'm going to tie a rope around it and see if it does a better job of anchoring my boat than it does playing movies..
I hade to give this thing one star because the is no zero or negitive star/s
UPDATE 11/30/08: the display is very dimm even in it's brightest setting
