is it worth the upgrade: Would it be noticable on blu rays and video games.

I'd wait till April or May, that's when the new 2011 models will be coming out. The VT25 does look real awesome but its bezel is distracting. I do not own it myself but I've been researching this model very much, including having made Fry's hookup different things to it, like Blu-rays and a PS3 while in 3D. Picture is just awesome and a lot better than the ultra thin LEDLCD from Samsung right next to it. I know the 2011 will be better, as far as quality there isn't much to improve. Well, they are improving the whole look, and the 3D aspect portion.

Your BD30 should upgrade video signal through component connections to 1080i, if HDMI it would upscale to 1080p. Others Blu-ray players would have same problems as BD30. The one you have is the best in Blu-ray right now.

Good info, totally makes sense. Im excited for the 3D and all that but I am also looking forward to the 240Hz in 24" and at the price as there is currently nothing like that now. Will probabaly have to use a different Blu-Ray player for movies to have that smooth look to them as I don't think the PS3 can play movies past 60Hz. Still curious how it looks. I personally like smaller HD screens and am curious how it will look.

My Blu-ray player has not indicated it needs an update, however, the internal memory on your machine needs an update, so you should say OK, or whatever prompt you get and let it spend a few minutes updating. It will improve the quality of your reception.

There's little point in getting it for only movies and gaming unless you actually have some 4K movies and a video card beefy enough to get 30FPS gaming at 4K resolution with eyecandy turned up in the games. We could say it's an investment for the future but modern TVs don't last that long.

Oh sorry duh lol my bad, I just wasn't sure, I'm new to the whole upscaling and blu-ray technology thanks I'm glad that someone took that time to respond to my question.

I found this thread that tells you a way to optimize your PS3 settings for Blu Ray movies if it might help anyone.http://gear.ign.com/articles/938/938051p1.html

I would like to know as well what the best setting on my PS3 for blu ray and gaming so that i don't have to change it every time/ever? but will still output the best quality possible.

Yes it's worth the upgrade! 10 times higher contrast ratio. With a projector, that is everything.

Yes. I would not, then use it on blu ray player, for the best results use on one or the other.

John - you have been incredibly helpful and i appreciate your knowledge. My receiver does support all of the lossless sound formats regarding DTS HD masterauduio and tolby True HD. I am thinking that the PS3 does as well. In your opinion, what are the best looking Blu rays that you have personally seen or own regarding visuals and effects? Thanks Again!

Yes. It clearly states so in the description I'm looking at right now. Just in case it changes, the first line currently reads, "Upgrade your DVD collection to near high definition quality using HDMI connection (cable not included)" Hope that helps.

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

No.Only blu ray movies will play at 4k because it upconverts 1080p at 24hz,which the ps4 outputs natively for movies,not games

There are no further firmware updates for this model. I ran into a similar problem, although my unit wouldn't load a Blu-Ray at all, much less play it. After much frustration looking for a non-existent solution, I got a nice Panasonic Blu-Ray player - that does Internet TV *much* better, I might add - and now can enjoy my Blu-Rays while still using the rest of the Samsung unit's "home theatre" functions, which pretty much boil down to the sound system at this point. The short answer is yes, it's crap.

Dear Peter,Thanks for your inquiry. Since there are no 4K or UHD discs available, the Blu-ray player itself does not upscale. There are however, many audio receivers that do upscaling and perhaps that is what you are asking. Hope that makes things clearer for you.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo
