I was in Brandsmart in Deerfield Beach yesterday. They had the player playing thru 5 or so wide flat screen Sony tv sets. The so called lousy 5TH ELEMENT disc was playing. Maybe this player is better than all the others because IMO the picture quality was stunning; crisp,clear and razor sharp. Two nights ago, I was in a Magnolia store in a Bestbuy watching this movie on a $7000 large plasma Panasonic being played by Panasnic's Blu-Ray player. It looked good but I was not impressed against what I saw at Brandsmart.
