Very simple: Reon/HQV video processing. Silicon Optix's chipsets have proven to be king of video processing for SD and HD. On the high end $2k model, Denon uses Silicon Optix HQV processing, so it therefore implies that HQV is better than Denon's standard processing on the $1.2k model.
The Samsung also has HQV, except it is $1200 cheaper (and supports an additional format, too). It is not quite as full featured as the HQV on the $2k Denon, but I'd bet my britches it beats out the $1.2k Denon.
