I picked up my x50v for $359. For me, it was well worth it just for the better display (I had two x5's previously).
Also keep in mind the x50v has a hardware decoding card, meaning your video card in the x50v decodes the video - so your going to see not just better picture, but better frame rates - even if your cpu is throttled back to 200mhz.

i think you mention getting your x50 for $359 in about 90% of your posts!
As for the original question, I have a x50 mid and the picture quality is great! No problems at all. My movies are usually around 380 mb.
