    "This player does not work with Samsung LCD TV"

    by jturnidge on January 22, 2008

    Pros: JPEG and MP-3 playback

    Cons: Does not work with Samsung LCD TV

    Summary: This player had all the features I wanted, such as Blu-Ray 1.1 profile, JPEG and MP-3 playback, etc. except for one glaring problem: It does not work with my Samsung LCD TV.

    The screen shows absolutely horrible screen flashing problems, image artifacts, sometimes dropping out completely and displaying snow or black screen. I have a Samsung LNT5271F LCD connected via HDMI. After some online research I found others with this same problem on Samsung LCD and Plasma sets. I tried 3 different players, different cables, different ports and they all had the same problem. Apparently the HDMI handshake drops out.

    Be warned! If you have a Samsung flat panel TV, avoid yourself the hassle and get something else!

    Works great with my new Samsung Series 6 LCD. Am not experiencing any of the problems mentioned.
