The BD-P1400 is definitely Samsung's best (only good?) player. It's actually probably one of the best blu-ray players out right now actually since it can internally decode all but DTS-MA, and can bitstream all. The only downside is it's profile 1.0, but if that doesn't matter to you then this is definitely the best standalone (for the money). Unlike the BD-P1200, this player hasn't been plagued with compatibility problems.

Didn't this player have numerous incompatibility with a bunch of discs, including 3:10 to Yuma, and other Fox and Lionsgate titles?
TrentD @ Feb 28th 2008 1:08PM
Or am I wrong, and getting this mixed up with the 1200?

You are correct in the incompatibilities. It should be noticed that this review only really touched on the features of the player and barely considered real world use. While I agree this is one of the better players out there currently (have one myself) the player still has major flaws and anyone buying into bluray right now needs to be aware that, even though these are 3rd or 4th generation players, you're still on the "bleeding edge" of a still very immature technology that has major bugs to work out.

You are wrong. There are no incompatibility issues with this player.

Wow that's a pretty all encompassing blanket statement you're making there. I have this player running the current/latest firmware. It has problems. Just the other night, the player had problems playing the normal DVD version of Big Fish. Perhaps you should check the AVS forum thread on this player before you make such asinine comments. I like this player, I'm not trashing it, I'm just stating the absolute fact that it does have some problems even with the latest firmware.
