Samsung BD-P1400 review

We ponder the virtues of a Profile 1.0 BD-spinner

Ethernet port ; Stylish design ; Hi-res bitstream audio out

Not Profile 1.1 ; Some 24fps issues

Being Profile 1.0, there's only so much this player can offer, but for those with less cash to spend, this is a great Blu-ray option

Samsung BD-P1400 review

The Samsung BD-P1400 is, at this point, one of the older Blu-ray Disc players currently available. And its features reflect this: the Samsung BD-P1400 lacks both BonusView for picture-in-picture playback and BD-Live for accessing internet-connected...

At £259, the Samsung BD-P1400 remains among the least expensive Blu-ray Disc players available. But other models can offer better value.

A relatively inexpensive Blu-ray Disc player, the Samsung BD-P1400 has performance to match its budget price.

Samsung BD-P1400

The unit's gloss black finish and curved fascia are stunning, while on the rear connections include an HDMI v1.3 output and unusually an Ethernet port for making firmware updates (but not for accessing online movie content).

Great looks, good hi-res audio support, solid HD images

No picture-in-picture support, some juddering in 24fps, Profile 1.0

Samsung BD-P1400

Excellent value and spec along with good performance from Samsung's budget Blu-ray player ..

Taking into consideration its feature set and very good all round performance, the BD-P1400 currently represents the best value Blu-ray available. It can't quite match the Blu-ray and DVD performance of high end machines, but at less than half the...

Samsung BD-P1400

A cheap Blue-ray disc player

Supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution, powers up quickly

Poor audio reproduction, poor colour quality, trouble coping with complex interactive disc features

At $769, the Samsung BD-P1400 remains among the least expensive Blu-ray disc players available. But other models can offer better value.

Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray Disc Player

This Blu-ray player is inexpensive, but its image quality and features disappoint.

Very good menus and documentation ; Ethernet port for easy firmware updates

Disappointing picture ; Poor audio quality

At $400, the BDP-1400 remains among the least expensive Blu-ray Disc players available. But other models can offer better value

Samsung BD-P1400

The Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray player offers more robust audio capabilities than similarly priced players, but it's not exactly speedy.

Relatively inexpensive. MP3/JPEG playback from recordable DVD. Support for bitstream audio output (HDMI). Decodes Dolby TrueHD. Online firmware updates.

Sluggish disc load times.

Samsung Blu-ray player series (2007) review: Samsung Blu-ray player series (2007)

Editors' note June 9, 2008 : The rating of this player has been changed again to reflect changes in the marketplace.

Excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies; outstanding soundtrack support with onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution and bitstream output for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; relatively low price compared to other standalone...

Only Blu-ray Profile 1.0 compliant, so it will not play some bonus features on some new discs in 2008; below-average performance with 1080p output at 24 frames per second; some annoying operational issues.

The Samsung BD-P1400 delivers a mostly capable Blu-ray player at a relatively affordable price, but it's probably still better to hold off for newer models or a PlayStation3.

Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray DVD Player - The Rest of the Story

The BD-P1400 represents a decent Blu-ray player at an attractive price point but a mediocre SD DVD playback device. End users would be better off using a higher quality standalone DVD player for that library or looking at Samsung’s BD-P1200 if SD DVD...
