Title: Style Over Substance (and quality)
Review: The picture quality is good except during fast panning even in progressive scan. A fast pan creates a slight stutter in the image which some may not notice but its there. A much worse problem is the DVD drives well know "glitches" when playing dual layered DVDs. Layer changes are slow skip frames. The worse problem is that the drive will occasionally just stutter during a DVD when there is no layer change at all. These problems are known by the tech savvy on the web (just do a search) and plague many of the Q50 in US and abroad. I returned my first one and got a replacement. It was better but not 100%. I then found a firmware upgrade which also seemed to help a bit. The bottom line is that this drive is not worth the hassles at any price.
Is the review positive or negative?
