Ted Aquino from Soldier has sent in review of Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray player.

November 15, 2008



Blu-ray players generally aren't the hottest looking product in your home theater system. And this player is no exception. This player has boxy appearance. A small strip of gray runs along the perimeter and the rest of the face plate is black with a blue "Blu-ray" logo on the far left. Farther to the right is the disc tray and just right of center is the LCD screen which is large enough to read comfortably from a seating distance of about 5 feet. The right side contains the standard playback controls.

The player's included remote control has a decent button layout although there are some missteps. The remote has a centrally located directional pad surrounded by useful buttons such as Back and Pop-up Menu. The separate rocker buttons for volume and channel control--for those who want to control their TV. The placement of the playback controls is subpar with fast-forward and rewind buttons located far away from central buttons.

This player is currently a Profile 1.1 Blu-ray player which means it can access picture-in-picture commentary tracks available on some Blu-ray Discs. It is not profile 2.0 also known as BD live. The manufacturer has stated that the player can be upgraded in future to be profile 2.0 compliant. Soundtrack support is pretty good although not flawless. This player can internally decode Dolby TrueHD but currently can't decode DTS-HD Master Audio. That's unfortunate because that means only home theater fans with relatively new receivers can take advantage of DTS-HD Master Audio.

This player displays a superb high-def picture. Manufacturer has cut a few corners from its previous models to keep the price below $500. A must have unit. Although it doesn't have ethernet capabilities it can still be updated by computer download and writing to cd. It is a simple procedure.
