I have had the BDP-S300 playing on a 40 in Samsung TV for 6 months and I have never gotten a picture like that.

That is also not the PQ I see at Costco from the Spiderman 3 display on their demo.

My question is am I missing something? Is this the picture quality I should be getting? The benefit that I get from Blu-Ray is a crisper picture with more vibrant colors.....not what I saw at Best Buy.

I noticed at my WM and CC they have 720p TVs hooked to the blu-ray displays essentially not displaying the best possible picture.
Why? I dont know, CC has enough 1080p TVs to hook one up to it, but I think they are pro HDDVD or thats the vibe I get, as the HDDVD player is hooked to a 1080p TV.
WM on the other hand only carries 720p TVs for now

These are in my area
