Sharp?
HFD is not one of the better Blu-ray movies re: picture quality. Actually, it's been beaten up pretty badly by just about everyone in the online forums and the reviewing press. One of the main complaints has been the soft picture.

Better blacks?
Everything mastered for Blu-ray so far has clipped blacks -- all content <16 is gone -- and clipped peak whites as well -- all content >235 is gone. The Sony encoder has been used to encode everything out on Blu-ray so far and all Blu-ray discs are mastered by Sony, in MPEG2, at this point in time. Every disc has this same clipping aspect and there is no way to get it back (ie; it's not encoded on the disc).

Doesn't sound right?
Either the Samsung's channel setup tones are wrong or the outputs are wrong. I can't remember which one it is.

There's more, but I don't think it'll make a difference.
