Actually it would look much better at 720p because I suspect the display is bobing to deinterlace @540p with a 1080i input and then up to 720p again. Yes, it looks great, but it would probably look so much better at a native 720p. If it wasn't a big deal why does every other player do it?

As for the later part of your post, I already had my color wheel replaced 2x (right off the bat too). Someone over at AVF got Samsung to refund their money on this model by *****ing that they had gaming lag, and Sammy said they wouldn't, but I haven't noticed it. I don't really want to be dishonest that way to get my money back. If I did see substantial gaming lag over HDMI I would put up a big stink about it.
