New Blu-ray player advice

[apcarandang]

Let us know what you think of the LG. I have the Oppo BDP 83 and may be getting the 93 when it comes out. The best feature of the Oppo is it really makes your regular DVD's look great and it will play almost any format. Unfortunately it doesn't stream Netflix. I'm hoping the 93 will.

At the same time AppleTv streams Netflix really well and comes with a very polished UI.
I really need to upgrade my displays to 1080p models first but I'm happy with the 720p displays I have at home.

If any of you upgrade maniacs are going to sell your Oppo 80/83, let me know... I was close to picking up an 80 largely for DVDA/SACD playback so that I don't have to use my noisy PS3 (which only does SACD). During movies, the PS3 noise doesn't bother me, but for music it does.

Oppo 83 has a fan but not 80 if noise is a concern.

Ah, thanks, that's good to know. Damn, now I sorta wish I'd pulled the trigger on the 80... I wonder if there's gonna be a 90?

I wonder if there's gonna be a 90?

Maybe in about a year?
Try ebay or A-gon for used 80.

I can't recall ever hearing fan noise from my 83.

maybe i just play the media too loud.

I can't recall ever hearing fan noise from my 83.

If the unit is located far enough away from the listener, I suppose.

This review has a nice graph of what player does what... It's for blu ray players around $250 though.
