I have the player and 3 titles, the display is awesome. Significantly better than a standard DVD player. The new menu system is a major improvement over DVD. You can now select the menus while the DVD is HD-DVD is playing. In other words, while you are watching a movie, you can select the "Menu" button and the extra content and menu selections overlay the video, so you can select "Directors Comments" and turn this on and off while not interupting the movie. You can also scan thru the chapter selections while playing, see exactly where you are in the movie, etc.
Even better, you now have a "Bookmark" option to create bookmarks at various spots in the movie and easily go back to those points. For me, these features alone justify the price of admission.
