Although that is a review of the US model, I have found the same issues pretty much with the EP10.
I would go one step further though and say I'm not all that impressed with the 1080i picture either. I get jaggies, particulalry noticeable around bright white objects - a good example bing the white on-screen fonts for the 'Children of Men' titles, and indeed the recent 'Heroes' release.
What I don't understand is why the output for scaling HD material is any different from the XE1? Surely the Reon chip in the XE1 is *only* beneficial to standard definition material i.e. regular DVD's?
Either way, I will wait for the outcome of the september firmware update due, and if not noticing any improvement, will upgrade to it's bigger brother...if my resolve holds out in the meantime
