On the Samsung player (first Blu-Ray player released), it appears that the 1080p Blu-Ray discs will be decoded to 1080i, and then line doubled back to 1080p; it uses the same 1080i Broadcom chip that the Toshiba HD-A1 has. And this wouldn't be any different than if you hooked up a player that just output 1080i to a 1080p HDTV. Buyer beware, as your $999 won't get you a true 1080p output on the Samsung!
