Mark, it's the HD860 I have..It only scales to 1080i..
At the moment I'm upscaling to 720p. from my 480p Benq..and it produces quite a reasonable image, so If I get a native 720p and the new Samsung 1080p7 upscaling player for about $170AUD..and then upscale to 1080p, I think I should get a very nice image...not quite true HD..
But feeding a 1080i source into a 1080P display - won't the display just de-interlace? Given that the source and display match, wouldn't it be better?

Don't get me wrong, I have been very impressed with 720 projectors, but having seen 1080's in action, and given the small price difference, it becomes a case of future proofing for me...

Yes, I 've read the review and it sounds like a fantastic player, but at about $400 US, they will probably be asking for about $600 here...
It wouldn't want to be that much given the strength of our dollar right now...

That would be the perfect BD player for our setups..but again, I would imagine that it will be very pricey.
Not always the case. In the past, the OPPO players have simply delivers stunning images, and they did not cost the earth. So here is hoping that they will continue to deliver that and support CIH...
