But I will echo what everyone else has said....dvd upconverted on the HD-A1 are amazing....unless it is a crap transfer, then you realize.."hey, this was a crap transfer, and I was only vaguely aware of it before, but now I'm pissed off." Fortunately that is for very few movies.

Wow. On the bright side, going with HD-DVD and BD must look like a drop in the bucket.

Yeah....
Given that that piece of garbage Samsung player is its only option right now, the drop is still a bit too big for me to be an early adopter of BD too, however.

I watched Hotel Rwanda last night on my Toshiba and I could not believe how good it looked. It was very very good. I'm extremely pleased with the upconverting on this unit.

The Hills Have Eyes remake looked great. That's been one of the better dvd transfers I've seen. Fantastic Four also really benefited from the A1. Lost Seasons 1 and 2 also looked very good.

I looked at some side-by-side screenshots of the Seven Samurai discs, and I didn't find the image quality to be such a huge step up that I need to upgrade. The extras, on the other hand...I'll probably wait for one of the DDD 20% off sales.
