"No green line, no video drop out, excellent upconversion"
Pros: Everything I put into it works great, Ratetoulle does NOT have weird icon.
Cons: Before firmware, Sunshine is Jerky if you bring up the menu.
Summary: I purchased this player a month ago. I decided to purchase this player instead of the Samsung combo player. Both players have issues but the Samsung appeared to have the bulk of them.
I tried the Ratatoiulle BD and it worked great. I didn't have the annoying camera icon everyone was talking about. There have been no audio or video drop outs, at least that have been noticeable. Hd-dvd menus are a bit sluggish,about the same speed as my hd-a2, but slower than my hd-xa2 (which I returned after the WB announcement). I have the first Pirates movie on BD and it looks AMAZING on this player, much better than on my PS3. While it still looked good, the PS3 bd image was always a little grainy (though not as noticeable to my wife!0. Hd-dvd's such as Bourne Ultimatum look incredible.
As far as upconversion, this player is just as good, if not better than my old hd-xa2. It uses QDEO processing, which is very similar to HQV processing. You have all the same settings plus a little more! I tried various dvds, everything from Frasier to Finding Nemo. This player is great at upconverting.I don't know what Cnet is talking about. I searched and searched for this green line but have yet to find it, and I watch alot of old movies so you'd think I would noticed.
If you have at least $225 worth of hd-dvd's or just want the best of both worlds, this player is for you. So far it plays all my discs without hesitation.
