I don't think any SD player can ever match an HD player, not even Oppo..but the difference evidently with there latest player is not as great as the current range of SD players..
Too true, especially when that HD player can output 1080P@24f/s...Right now, there seems to be a firm ware issue with the Benq so that it will not display 24frames, but rather clocks at 60hz thus introducing judder due to the 3:2 pulldown. (hope I have that right )

My HD860 produces excellent blacks and whites, and good shadow detail as well...and passes PLUGE..
A very underated player...But it sounds like the Oppo DV-893H will leave it for dead!


I found the 720p setting to be the best.

I'll be interested to hear the results..
The 950 I have will only pass PLUGE at 480 over component. Once it is set to a HD mode (triggered by the use of HDMI), the blacks are crushed as are the whites. The player is useful for subtitle re-location, but I have found that most films in HD have their subtitles in the active picture area where they belong any way...
