For what it's worth, I agree. The Samsung digital upconverters have always had their share of problems, and some of them appear to have been the result of the low price point. The 841 also used PC black levels that were all wrong for video displays, crushing blacks mercilessly. I'm all for low prices but not to an extent that compromises build quality. Neither HK nor Denon are likely to suffer from that kind of problem.
