Had to update the firmware on my Samsung before it would load at all.
Once updated it still took a few minutes to load, once it was loaded the
skull thing was ok, not jerky or anything, but bringing up the on-screen
menu seemed slow and jerky.
It does indeed look and sound great once it's up and running, but it's a
PITA do go through all that every time, especially if you just want to
demo it for somebody.
