The local Best Buy (Wilkes-Barre, PA) has the Samsung up in the HD-A1's former space, but the display (Westinghouse 42' 1080p LCD) was set up horribly. I'm aware of reports of macroblocking on "House of Flying Daggers", but this was ridiculous.

Faces showed a terrible "solarized" look for the lack of a better adjective. The image was noticably soft and filtered. I was on my way to work, so I didn't have the time to get a look at the display settings.

Fair amount of titles out, but I can't see them moving any units with this setup.
