Rating :  - Do Not Buy This Model Player !!
I have no complaint with the viewing experience of Samsung's BD-P1400: it's excellent. However, as "HD Guy" states, it's incredibly slow to load, which I could live with, were it not for the repeated problems encountered every time a new firmware update is issued.
Provisions have been made by Samsung to download and install new firmware updates by burning the firmware onto a CD or DVD-R from your computer. Clear and easy to follow instructions are provided at their site. Sounds great, right? However to accomplish this, you'd better have burner software compatible with the format required on your computer, such as the complete and current version of Nero, otherwise you can't burn the files onto the disc in the form necessary. Yet, even if you can do this, to date I've been unable to get my player to accept the downloaded ISO files from a disc following the manufacturer's instructions, either online or over the phone. This has forced me into having to rely upon Samsung to mail me the firmware updates on their own discs, a process that's proven far from expeditious. For example, after placing a request for firmware update version 1.9, I am still waiting 17 days later, and it took them over 7 days from the date of request just to get it in the mail! And they send it via the slowest snail-mail possible -- 7 to 14 business days -- in order to save postage!
So, between the player's inconvenient glitches, thoroughly discussed by HD guy and others -- and lack of prompt customer service support, I would not recommend buying this player, unless you don't mind sitting around a lot with movies you can't play while you wait for Samsung to get around to mailing the latest update. As for me, tomorrow I'm taking my player to have the latest firmware update installed by the folks at Best Buy, who for the moment are extending me far more customer service than the manufacturer. According to them, I'm not alone when it comes to this player.
