Now, I'm linking below to the good old Digital Bits and their "My Two Cents" daily posting, so after a day or two you'll have to scroll down or follow the link for older postings. But today they looked at the first lineup of Blu-Ray discs and the Samsung player, and they were pretty unimpressed. They noticed problems when outputting 1080i instead of 720p, and also noticed a slight stuttering during playback which sure sounds familiar... I could accept it with my home-grown MythTV box, but not with a $1000 brand-spanking-new Blu-Ray HD player, that's for sure. They also said that The Fifth Element--certainly a movie that has and should be used as a benchmark--looked decidedly un-HD. They said the Superbit DVD, played through a good upscaling player like the Oppo 970HD, compared quite favorably to the Blu-Ray disc. Hm, $1000 for a Blu-Ray player, or $150 for an Oppo? Hm.....
