Universal blus skipping and freezing... anyone else?

I had a Sammy TV once. It was a great TV, however the color RED was so strong it bled into the image even when turned down in the settings. I had service pick it up and keep it for 2 weeks to bring it back with the same problem.

I used to sell TVS and I found Toshiba and Samsung to be the best BANG for the buck in terms of what features/quality you get for what you pay. However since then times changed and LCD and Plasma are leading the way where CRTs used to dominate.

I think my next TV will be a Pioneer Kuro in the far off future lol. Unless something else comes along in the mean time.

But back to the player. Ive been wanting a new player for some time now. I just don't know what brand to seriously look into.

Everyone says PS3... which only makes me want to stay away from PS3. As I am not a Sony fan at all.
