The technology of Samsung is promising: right fixes drive, compared to Toshiba significantly quieter fan, networking, HDMI 1.3, bitstream output of all the new HD sound formats via HDMI, reasonable remote control (though unlit).
But now the practice, and since the Samsung is not satisfactory as a result. As such, the Samsung has a very good Blu-ray image and a clean and powerful digital audio via HDMI. If it because running without problems .... and he is not with me unfortunately. I have looked to the device 4 Blu-ray discs and here the Samsung but violent sound repeatedly showed particular glitches. I then heruntergeladern last week the new update from the Samsung website and install, but unfortunately without success. On The Contrary. When playing the last BD after the update I was 5 misfire count. Since this acc. The experiences of numerous owners, see the relevant forums, such as the AVS Forum, is not an isolated case, I have decided to send the unit back. A position as a beta tester is to annoying for me definitely.
