"very good" (4 out of 5 stars)
As the cheapest player on test by far, the Samsung started with a lot going for it, unfortunately its performance didn't quite match up with its impressive price point. Black levels didn't impress What Hi-Fi?'s review staff and they experienced a juddering to motion that was present even when using the deck's 24fps mode. Still, at the price it is offered, the magazine recommend it is worth a punt to dip your toe into HD waters.

"Picture quality is excellent on the whole, with detail presentation and colour intensity that could stop traffic. Our only qualm is some juddering during camera pans in the 24fps Movie Frame mode, which stops when you switch to 60Hz."

"... if you absolutely have to buy a Blu-ray deck now, and you're not bothered about BonusView, then you could do a lot worse than the BD-P1400, particularly when you consider its very reasonable price tag."
