Their unloading it for the BD-35. Just hope you won't get into the "Why get the old one when the newer one is better" dilemma.

Hi Guys!

I have a thread called "Going High Def," I'm sure you've seen it. I tried reading reviews online and I found this review that made me worry....
I own a Samsung LCD...

"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!

Is this true for all Samsung LCD's or just the specific LCD mentioned on the review?

After auditioning at Sights and Sounds, I found out that Samsung LCD's work fine with the Pana BD30 Blu-ray Player. I don't know why there are issues in the US between the two being compatible.

Hi where can we buy this Pana blue ray and how much does it cost in pesos? Been shopping around for a branded budget standalone blue ray player and this would seem to fit the bill? TY.
