I can see where there may be some bad things with the sammy 1400. I have had it completely shut it self off when i pressed Pause, and sometimes the screen will flicker for a sec at the begining of the movie. Sometimes the load times are really bad. But I think alot of the complaints were people unaware that you really need to keep up with the firmware updates. The audio and video is excellent. I do think its a kind of buggy player, but I hope with more updates it will be fixed. But for $300 blu-ray its not a bad deal.
