Looks nice, I like the Samsung players really well. What can it do with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA? Does anybody know?

In Canada, Sears releases their Christmas Wishbook catalog every year about this time. Perusing thru the electronics I noticed 2 blu-ray players, 0 hd-dvd. One was the Sony 300 model, the other the new Samsung BDP1400 -- the book states its availability OCT 1.

Ah, you lucky Canadians!!!!!
I live in the US, and we haven't had Sears WishBook catalogs for years!!
I remember they were really fun to look through during the holidays.
I can't wait to move into Canada!!!! It's gonna be 4 years max, maybe only 2 years if I can play my cards right and catch a few lucky breaks from CIC in the process.

P.S. speaking of Sears, our Sears ad today (26 August) FINALLY has the Sony BDP-S300 advertised for $499 USD. I work at a Sears, and we're finally gonna get that little player.

But I've had my S-300 since late-June.

P.S.S. BD players 2, HD-DUD players 0. Gotta love that!!

I've seen nothing more revealing than the original press release which indicates the players support TrueHD and lossless DTS HD, which may or may not mean MA. Anything revealed via AVS in the past couple of weeks is unknown to me, since I'm avoiding the place so long as the inmates run amok in the asylum.

Cool.

Of course, the practical reason the retailers are choosing to support Blu-ray: They can make signficantly more money selling them. The margins are better.

People seem to expect the retailers to be in it for the cause. But, really they are mostly driven by good business sense. Can we make money on the players? Can we afford space on the shelves for the discs (Blockbuster).

$500? That's $150 too much. Does it even support 1.1?

gvortex7 · 08-27-2007, 07:19 AM

Amazon.com shows this unit to be available on October 1st.

krisjan · 08-27-2007, 01:56 PM

Here's the deal. If the 1400 is "officially" released on Oct 1 or later, then it is REQUIRED to be BD 1.1 compliant based on my understanding. Unless the BD 1.1 spec is just a suggestion (and not a requirement) then the 1400 should be able to handle the 1.1 spec. Perhaps Samsung will "officially" release this player on Sept 30 to get around the BD 1.1 requirement.

Would they design a BD player 6 months in advance knowing full well you had a 1 day window?

I mean if a technical problem arose and they missed the deadline by a week would they have to scrap all those players in transport?

I can't see them being that stupid.

No, and chances are that it won't.

gvortex7 · 08-27-2007, 04:53 PM

Just look at how quickly the Samsung BD-P1200 dropped in price, so soon after it was released. I'm pretty sure the BD-P1400 will be among the first players to drop to $350 by Christmas. The other logical choice in this price range would be Sony's BDP-S300.

And I have a feeling that even if it doesn't launch with profile 1.1, it will be a firmware updateable feature in the future.

Thanks for the correction. I was under the impression it was 4Q07 which would be Oct 1 onwards.

the 1400 is only DTS HD : High Resolution compatible as the logo state on the manual, the 2400 is Firmware upgradable to DTS HD MA ...

The 1400 can't read BD-R and BD-RE if that's important...
