The only thing so far is that it can't decode DTS HD MA internally. But this will be fixed with the next Firmware update. I can totally recommend the Samsung Bd-P 1500
1.) Model: Samsung LE 37 A 552
2.) Why?: Because I wanted a Samsung Full HD and they had this one in stock.
3.) The picture quality when watching Blu Ray's or HD-DVD's
4.) Picture not perfect when watching over the cable box
5.)...
First time after updating my Ep-30 with the new firmware it started loading the disc and the said: "System Error". I unplugged it and turned it back on. Then I did load the disc but stopped before the movie started. After turning it off...
I really liked it. A Rambo with a story. Though, not too much of it.
And the technical aspects of the disc: Might be the best looking and sounding disc that's been released on Blu so far.
I had a laserdisc player with pretty good equipment.
For example "Speed" or "Independence Day" on dvd never even got close to their Laserdisc counterparts. Now with Blu Ray and DTS HD sound that has changed.

I listened to a few PCM Tracks and the to some True HD and DTS HD Master. Honestly I can't hear the difference. (And my equipment is very good)
The only thing that could really boost it would be, if they released some of the following titles:
Star Wars 4-6
Indiana Jones 1-3 (and then the 4th installment)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Well you get the idea..
