Supports dual video streams (e.g. PIP commentary): No
Supports October 2007 Mandated Requirements: No
Supports Ethernet for Firmware Updates: Yes
Supports Ethernet for Interactivity, Enhanced Features, etc.: No
Blu-ray Video Quality: On par with other Blu-ray (no bad filtering enabled this time)
SD DVD Upsampling Video Quality: Better than other Blu-ray players, on par with Toshiba's $799 HD DVD player
It's too bad that Samsung couldn't have produced a player that was compliant with the October 2007 mandate. It's also too bad that a high-definition player built in 2007 still doesn't support the lossless Dolby and DTS codecs.
Maybe Sony's upcoming BDP-S300 for $599 will do better?

Audio support (or rather lack of) sucks for this player. The Panasonic DMP-BD10A looks like a better option.
