samsung BDE5400/ZA reviews

I went with Samsung at the time because I had just purchased a Samsung TV and I thought, like everyone, that if a company's TV is good, the same thing can be said about the DVD. Well it's not like the Samsung was bad or anything, but it just wasn't as solidly built as the TV, so I sent it back and bought a Yamaha. Very sturdy, tough....and heavy!

As a basic Blu-Ray player it is great with the one problem that you have no eject button on the remote only on the player again as a very basic Blu-Ray player it great but cheap build if you want a cheap player it works well for me.

I returned mine. The overall quality was very poor in my opinion and the cheap price was in line. I did not have sound issues but the picture and sound were both underperforming, regardless if the price. For an additional $30 I gig a Samsung and sm happy

I just got delivery on my PN50B860 and no buzzing. My guess is that given all the negative publicity that it is fixed. No problems and the flat panel is awesome! Try contacting Samsung technical service to confirm as they should be able to inform you if the issue has been resolved.

Hi Dave,Sorry, my writing style isn't always clear - I wrote a review of the LN52B750 only. My encouragement was meant to say, read all the user reviews on the various models that one is interested in, because that is what helped me.BTW - that's some company you've got there Dave, sounds like I've benefited more than I know as a viewer - many thanks for your good work!

What vendor did you get yours from, by the way? And did Samsung tell you anything worthwhile?

The KDL-VL160 is last year's 46-Z4100 10-bit panel set Sony made for Sam's/BJs/Costco. It most recently was being blown out for $950 around Thanksgiving. People love it now that a firmware update fixed the auto-dimming issues. You cannot find a 10-bit set for this price, especially since Costco had 90d returns and 2 yr warranty for these. The V5100 is an 8-bit panel, as is the W5100, both w/ 120Mhz Motionflow. The V5100 gets good reviews, and is a bang-for-the-buck tv. AVS Forum discusses the V5100 audio popping issues, red flashing issues, and mild edge flashlighting, though most people still seem to like them. The KDL-46VL150 is the equivalent Costco/Sams/BJs set to the V5100, FWIW. W5100 has ethernet connectivity, on-screen TV guide, Bravia-Engine 3, and variable audio output with a smaller bexel. It's ranked higher than the V5100, right below the 240Mhz 10-bit Z5100. Best Buy will have the 46" V5100 + PS3 + PS3 game + Bluray movie deal for $951+tax this weekend thru 12/12, but most 46" V5100s are sold out from the Sony PS3 bundle Black Friday deals, so you may not be able to easily find them. You likely can't go wrong with any of them.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it. I conencted to my home server PC in about 5 minutes and instantly have access to 100s of my downloaded (torrent) Divx movies. Pretty sweet. Watching YouTube videos online is pretty addictive as well through the device, the Pandora radio also works slick.... I love the machine. They released a firmware a few weeks ago which I installed as soon as I bought my player (week ago) and have not had any problems at all. Maybe the new firmware fixed things?Each to his own, but for me the player works great and is super addictive with all the extra bells and whistles. Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it.

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

They'll make it right for $70 plus shipping. I called they're customer service not expecting much from what I'd heard about how helpful their staff is, and they had no knowledge that there was an issue despite the hundreds of posts I've seen on tech websites websites (cdfreak, engadget, amazon). I'm buying Samsung next time.

Try contacting Samsung technical service to confirm as they should be able to inform you if the issue has been resolved.According to a Samsung customer, (http://reviews.us.samsung.com/7463/PN50B860Y2FXZA/pn50b860-50-1080p-plasma-hdtv-reviews/reviews.htm) the buzz issue cured and there is a tech repair sheet out from Samsung to fix it so the newer TV's should be fine.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.
