There's a few other posts on this site regarding the BDP-83, all or mostly excellent. My wife and I are thrilled with ours. We've had it about a month. The first few disks we watched were standard DVDs upconverted to 1080p. After watching a standard DVD on a 52" screen in native resolution, the BDP-83 upconversion was a real joy. Now that we have our Netflix subscription switched over to Blu-Ray, we've had an opportunity to watch several Blu-Ray titles. The BDP-83 is an awesome player. I haven't hooked up the 7.1 analog to our 990, so we haven't experienced TrueHD audio yet, but the DD 5.1 audio has not been disappointing. Every aspect of the BDP-83 we've tried so far has been a pleasure to use. My middle-aged eyes even like the bigger buttons on the remote.
