I have read about the firmware problem. I would imagine that Philips would have fixed this by now. Any idea how I can tell if a new unit would be free of the glitches?

Supposedly Q50s sold in the US after a certain date should have the correct firmware. My Q50 had a build date of October 2001, and had firmware version 4.15f, while the minimum that seems necessary to address glitches is 4.15i; versions n and o are also available, but it's not clear to me that they offer benefits for US players.Now, with 4.15f my player was free of glitches, but for others this has not been the case. I upgraded to 4.15i just to make certain it was the most current.
The only way to tell what version the firmware is is through the menu system. This is described at avsforum, but I can't find where just at the moment.
