I got a Magnavox blu ray on BF and I must say the player is absolute rubbish. First off, Funai is not offering firmware updates for it(luckily it is a 1.1). Secondly, the player is slow as molasses. Takes about 20 seconds to read a disc and about a second to register input from the remote. Thirdly, the picture is absolutely gorgeous. I bought Sunshine from a Circuit City that is closing down. I already own it on DVD so I will test to see how obvious the difference is by playing the DVD on the 360 and the blu ray on different inputs(both HDMI). If you are having trouble calibrating the tv there are certain THX certified dvds that have calibration tests on them. I think Wall E is the first blu-ray to have some sort of calibration on it. There are also blu ray discs on Amazon that you can buy to help with calibration. Helps to set black levels and contrast and such. I am very happy with the image quality so far, just unhappy with the response time from the player. I guess that is what I get for buying a cheap ass player. Oh and I have a 40' LCD and I can tell the difference.
