I was researching another issue but your article has me puzzled. I received a BD-P1400 free with my TV. I have had no issues at all playing standard DVD's like you described, all play perfectly in 16:9 mode filling the screen, no bars at all. (in movies with the proper ratio of course)

Hi,

It seems that this was a problem with a specific movie that even though it was "widescreen" it was sending to the player that it was in fact 4:3 making the described problem to happen. This happened with two movies (Streets of Fire and A Night at the Roxybury). This Samsung player doesn't have a function to solve this -- or at least I couldn't find it. I think I was naïve and should had made a more in depth analysis. I corrected this on our Sony BD-S300 review.

Cheers,
Gabriel.
