Samsung BDP1400 Disussion Thread - Page 358

I've had the bd-p1400 for a long time now but I've been watching more movies of late. After trying to watch transporter 3 tonight and the player getting stuck on load as well as being a recent victim of the 5 min pause feature, I'm considering other options. Do allplayers take so long to load movies?

First let me say that I am in the middle of upgrading to fw 1.9 and hope that will allow me to was transporter3. Will know soon enough. And thanks to barney for his nice fw update faq.

SO I am out of the loop as far as the other low-mid level BR players rate. I will do my research but wouldn't mind some suggestions/comments.

Thanks

a suggestion-i find that cleaning the bd before playing seems to help in ~99% of the loadings and playings.
in the 8 months i've had my 1400 (fw 1.9) i think i had 1 disc that wouldn't load no matter what. don't even remember what it was.

the last (edit-3) bds i've watched (since fw 1.9) all loaded in about 1 minute.

rpm:
Check out the soon-to-be-released Oppo 83. There is a pre-release or beta evaluation going on now. Results are very promising.

I only am saying that "MILK" is a great movie. If you lived through that time and were old enough and smart enough to develop hatred for Anita Bryant you will get pissed-off all over again watching this movie... not to mention how crazy the jury was that found the murdering butthead Dan White guilty of MANSLAUGHTER because of his addiction to junk food...
Anyway, joebob this movie... great acting, great casting, good story, and an eye opener.

I have it on my Netflix queue.

I saw "Milk" when it opened. I agree that's it's a great movie but I have no idea what the posts you quoted have to do with any of this.

Can't say that word round here . It's Other People's Player Originally.

What's the story about, anyway? junk food addict/hippies protesting the war?

dropping like flies .

Finding a new BD player requires a little more understanding of your needs and wants. The type equipment you have, the enviroment, and your budget all comes into play. Last but not least, it should be A BS ... Anything But Samsung!

You gonna like the technical review for the boomoo Mongol tonite!

Well, I'm willing to admit I made an assumption (and all that implies) when I read those responses to the original posting about Brokeback Mtn. I guess I could just change my Milk "review" to an individual post... but I'll let it stand.

My fellow 1400 brethren, mark today's date. A date which will live in infamy . The 1400 has beaten the PS3 and tied the BD35 in loading time of a boomoo ! More on that later .

?????

Ya down wit OPPO?



...Yea you know me[o]

Wow Barney, three whole seconds....PS3 is a POS.

Hey, it feels great to be a 1400 owner today!

It's good to be King , even if it's for one day .

I am very proud of my boy!

I was able to watch Traitor and RockinRolla this week. Traitor was pretty decent, and RockinRolla wasn't so bad. But then I like the whole "British, fast talking, too hip to be scared when faced with death, bad guys are cool womanizers, one old guy who owns the underworld" type of movie!

Then I saw 6th Sense on TV and thought....my goodness that's a good movie! Too bad M Night Shamalama Ding Dong started out the gate with such a great movie. It's hard to follow that one up.

Hey gang, I just picked up a used 1400. I loaded the last update dated 12/2008. I am using a Toshiba 1080p LCD. I just rented a blu-ray disc and attempted to set resolution at 1080p. I get the separate box asking yes or no on the change and notice it will revert back to the original setting in 15 seconds if no picture. I can't get it to stay on 1080p. I am using a cheap HDMI cable between 1400 and LCD. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So, you can change it to 1080p, but it won't stick the next time you turn on the 1400 or it immediately goes back to 1080i or some other resolution besides 1080p?

oh btw, welcome to the Samsung 1400 discussion thread.

watched the electric mist last night, ok flick, had a view video hiccups during the movie. I am running the latest fw 2.0

Thanks for the welcome. When I switch to 1080p I get the sub dialog box asking if I want to make that change. When I click yes, the screen goes black and then goes to the blue Samsung page. I open the setup menu again and it is on 1080i. I am wondering why. The manual says if the display won't support a chosen resolution, the player will revert to a resolution it will handle. Of course this is making me wonder if my 1080p set does not actually support it. Evidently you have no problem with your 1400 making this resolution switch?

None whatsoever, buddy. It's one of those things that you set and forget about it.

Are you sure you are selecting "Yes" when prompted to accept the resolution change? The default is "No". You have to press the left arrow key on the remote to manually change it from "No" to "Yes".

When I change the resolution on mine, the screen goes black first. Then the blue Samsung screen comes up and the prompts me to accept the new resolution, "No" (Default) or "Yes". After selecting "Yes", I will have to go back to the setup menu >>> Display to verify the change. I can change it to any resolution supported by my tv and it sticks.

Try changing to 480p and see if it will stick. Also try setting HDMI-CEC Anynet to "Off" and see if this makes any difference. Let us know buddy.

electric mist, is this The Mist part II?

Does it have more than one version on the disc, Unrated and Theatrical versions? If yes, then it could be the ol' chronic seamless branching problem the 1400 will highly likely to have...

Have you tried a different HDMI cable yet? And which blu-ray did you use?

Anyone able to play Rachel Getting Married on the 1400? Got it from netflix, have the most recent firmware, and the thing refuses to load multiple times.

did u try cleaning the disc?
many times, it works for me (on my 1400).

Well I tried the other resolutions and it works fine. So I get our my manuals for my LCD. It is a two year old Toshiba. I see nothing about 1080p input, so I call. They confirm it only inputs 1080i signals but then up samples the pictures to 1080P. The TV does it, not the Blu-ray player. I am skeptical. Might be time for a new TV?
I am trying to watch Eagle Eye. Can you recommend a decent HDMI cable?

I'm not sure if the HDMI cable is a fault. If you want a new one just to be safe, than sorry , then click at the blue-jean or monoprice ad on top of this thread and let's get some shopping done .

What's the model # of your TV?

I just ordered one from Blue Jeans. Like the name. The TV is a 42LX196
