Not to mention consistently late firmware updates. If you're going standalone, the new Panasonic is the only way to go. As far as the upscaling quality, I've heard the Samsungs actually do a pretty good job.

I have tested my PS3 with set to Linear PCM with DTS MA only. I will test it with TrueHD as well, but even if this will work this is no option for me as the PS3 will decode standard DD and DTS to PCM as well...

As for the Samsung, I have read a review that the upscaling pretty good, but not as good as the PS3. The Denon DVD players should be even better, but I don't want to spend that extra money...
