Sorry Rick, The first thing I did after taking the unit out of the box was upgrade it, I wish I had thought of playing a movie prior to the update, it would have been interesting to see how the update affected the performance. I can say though that after the update the PQ seemed every bit as good as the PQ of my AX2.
In regards to Transfomers I'm in the same boat as you, I enjoyed the movie but to me it I would give it at 8 out of 10 for PQ, perhaps just because of the way it was filmed, when I watch something in HD I like it to look more real and have crystal clarity.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
