I read the other reviews reporting problems connecting direct to a TV but thought I'd be OK having just bought a new Samsung TV (a UE40D7000 - brilliant TV by the way). I was wrong. The drive connects OK but essentially appears as a computer drive. With a DVD I could see individual files and in some cases play them but I couldn't just pop in a DVD and have it come up with the main menu screen. With Blu-Ray I failed to get anything at all.
Tucked away in the user manual you find:
Can I watch commercial DVD titles on the TV by using the AV connectivity function?
To play DVD titles, you need a recorder that can decrypt the encoded DVD
title. However, since most TVs do not support this function, you cannot
watch DVD titles by using the AV connectivity function. To watch DVD
titles, you have to use a DVD player or DVD playing software that runs on a
computer.
This would appear to contradict Amazon's product description which includes:
- plug this straight into any TV with a USB port and watch movies directly without the need for any other devices or power source
and
- plug and play blu-ray discs without any other devices
At best Amazon's description is open to misinterpretation. The drive can play movie files (avi, mp4, etc) that have been stored on a DVD or Blu-Ray disc but it cannot cope with commercial DVD or Blu-Ray titles.
As a PC drive however the SE-406AB works fine (subject to having suitable Blu-Ray software on your PC).

really good product, light and useful! the only issue is about the two (2) usb needed to support it with connection to the laptop/pc etc... especially for macbook air, this is a disadvantage!!!

I had no problemns buying this unit as my Father has one, simple connection and does as it say on the box with the bonus on being 3D ready. Not plugged into my television yet as I do not have USB function. I am not gentle on technology and tend to hammer things hard 'figurativly speaking', so far Reads and writes everything I have given it and still comes back for more :) The bundled software also works like a charm to make the whole atching, reading & writing experince even sipler. Thanks Amazon for swift delivery and thanks to Samsung for making a unit that makes 3D accessable to all without the hefty price tag.
