If I go to the store and buy the player, I want to know what I'm going to encounter.

If you're reviewing the corrected version, then all the shipping players should be corrected by that time too.]]>Jul 30th 2006 12:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/
Just wondering.]]>Jul 30th 2006 2:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/The reveiw was on the consumer shipping version. There was however a sidebar on the updated version and the difference.]]>Jul 30th 2006 3:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/
"However, Samsung confirmed for us that the BD-P1000 converts video from the disc to 1080i before converting it back to 1080p for output."

Why on earth would any player capable of reading the 1080 Progressive data on the Blu-ray disk and need to 'interlace' the video AND then deinterlace the video before outputting it as 1080P?

You cannot 'process' video in interlaced form so I have to wonder why the disks are read progressively and then go through an unneccessary p-i-p routine, which to me only affords a couple of opportunities to introducing video artifacts.

This is about as as!n!ne as I can imagine. Someone dispell my obvious ignorance and explain the logic in this, because it seems overly illogical.]]>Jul 30th 2006 6:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/
The Samsung uses the same Broadcom decoder as the Toshiba HD DVD player, which outputs 1080i60. The samsung has a second chip that deinterlaces the 1080i60 to 1080p60 (while locking in the 3:2 judder)]]>Jul 30th 2006 6:54PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/07/30/sound-and-vision-mags-in-depth-review-of-the-samsung-bdp-1000/Jul 30th 2006 7:25PM
