Digital camera reviews of Samsung BD-P1400 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player

Digital camera Review: There's Better Stuff Out There--but this is Quite Adequate.
Summary: 3 Stars

Pro:
-Get into the beautiful quality of Blu-Ray for a cheap price.
-Good looking upconversion of standard DVD's up to 1080p.
-Can program your speaker setup in the settings making for more accurate sound straight from the horses' mouth (as opposed to your receivers' encoding)

Con:
-The load time is fairly long for Blu-ray discs (1 minute+); but you must ask yourself; is the extra 30 seconds saved w/ a premium model worth the extra $100+ you'll pay?
-HOWEVER, if paused more than a few minutes, the video stops meaning you must reload it again which can be especially painful if it's a Blu-Ray (1+ minute of loading time). I've not answered phone calls because of this...be warned.

While this player has its' share of flaws; it's not a bad purchase if you're looking to lose your Blu-Ray virginity. I'll likely upgrade in a couple of years when my salary is a bit higher, but I have no problem with this as a part of my home theater.
