I own a DV-981HD which does a good job upconverting DVD's to 1080p on my 52" LCD TV. How would the BD83 and BD80 compare with the DV981 playing DVD's? If the BD80 is as good as the DV981 I would probably be happy with it. I've rarely used the zoom feature with DVD's, only time I've needed it was when viewing an old DVD that did not implement the letterbox in a way that worked with an widescreen TV. (IE: letter boxed inside a 4:3 window on the widescreen leaving black bars on the left, right AND top and bottom!) I can't see needing it on a BD unless I wanted to still frame and inspect something. Also how does the BD80 and BD83 compare to the DV981 on CD and DVD audio formats?
