I am using it in 5.1 mode and have watched Dark Knight, Spiderman III, Transformers, and Hellboy II on it - as well

I have watched Iron-Man and the Dark Knight and both looked and sounded great

Watched Dark Knight and thought the picture was as good as I was getting on my HD channels

Should only be better with 1080.Also after Dark Knight we watched an ep of Rescue Me,and I was pleasently surprised that the upscaling was better,to me,then the Sony upscaling dvd player we are using now
