Well I guess I'm one of those volunteer Gamma testing
geeks. Last night downloaded the leaked update,(the 495th person to do so) and burnt a CD-R using Nero with no problems. The player update took less than 5 minutes.
Went through the Setup after powering up again and noticed/set the following two new menu items:
- internet connection speed
- cookie option (left it on the default on).
My careful calibrated audio analog levels and speaker distances survived the update.
Played and very much enjoyed POTO in 5.1 TrueHD!
Is it really a lot better? Only a double blind test can really give a valid answer. But it made me smile!
Superb picture quality and very clear sound. Possibly 4 more audio bits of resolution (go up to 20 bit / 48 kHz instead of the current studio HD DVD practice of 16/48 on TrueHD) might make a subtile improvement.
