Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-Ray DVD Player

Pros: Free, Plays Blue Rays, sync with Samsung TV, up converts,

Pros: Blue light on front is pretty. Forces you outside for exercise by not playing discs.

Cons: Won't play discs. Technical support unreliable. Picture quality barely acceptable.

The Bottom Line: Samsung apparently dislikes their customers.
