I will add a vote for the Samsung 3600. Nice player, very fast, lots of features.
I will subtract one vote for the LG 390. Started ok but ended up not working as advertised. Spotty wireless function. Slower loading then 3600 I believe.

For us less technically inclined. . . I have a 10 year old 73" Mits RPTV finally getting HD via cable STB with HD Fury III (great product!). I am thrilled with the results/picture after set calibration, and now it's time to add BR. With 1080i will I see any difference between Oppo 83, PS3, or even something as mundane as Samsung BD6900? The latter comes into play with 3D capability once the Mits finally goes and is replaced. Do the Oppo or PS3 do 3D as well? Thx

I would go find yourself a $99 BD player and be done with it.

Don't look like there is a lot happening here, but ill post my experience anyway.
I have had some different BD players, and ill list them as i wanted to rank them.
1 Oppo 83
2 Oppo 93
3 Oppo 95
4 Sony 5000ES
5 Denon 4010
6 Denon 3800
I had the Pioneer LX 91 for a short time, but prefered the Sony 5000 at the time, dont know how it would do in my system today.
Reason for putting the Oppo 83 top of the list is PQ it beats up anything else i seen so far, The new oppo models 93 95 and Cambridge 651/ 751, whos all the same exept for analog sound output. They look artificial.. like a hard synthetic look to the pic compared to the old Oppo 83.
Then i have to admit i never consider 3D.
My reason to rank the Oppo 93 higher than the 95 is that the sound of the 95 is hard and anoying, and it got a noisy ventilator.
My Oppo 83 is without cover, the ventilator unplugged, and the analog audioboard trown away.
The Denon machines ar terible in my world.. Slow terible sound and not posible to do 4:2:2 output.
Its not that i dont like any denon machine, im using DVD A1XVA for DVD outputting 1080i 4:2:2 into my DVDO VP50 and there outputting 1080P RGB. Thats the best SD i seen so far.
All are tested on my calibrated JVC X7
Maybe some things will change after getting CRT.. Time will show.

Is this a dead sticky? At least one that needs an update.

This thread needs to be "upgraded" to "Whats the best 4K Blu Ray player" !
I just got a highly regarded first ever Panasonic 4K player - their DMP-UB900 - for a steal price of $100 , but I have nothing to display on yet so can't speak to it lol.
Cheers!
Dave

Have you seen the price of used Oppo players? Through the roof!
I thought I saw someone post that they sent their player to Oppo for a laser replacement recently. So Kal, do you know why they stopped production if they are still servicing them? Seems to me that most manufacturers do exactly the 'oppo'site, service sucks, then they go under. (thank you, I'm very punny, try the veal)

Hmmm I wonder if I send them my 970HD.. perhaps they could upgrade the "laser" to a 203 or a 205...?
seriously though, the 970HD is an awesome audio player but has a really crappy tray design that only lets you pick up a disc from the tray by putting a finger in the center hole.. no edge cut outs

A little quality time with a Dremel tool will fix that up right quick ...

I just purchased out-of-warranty service for my trusty and loved 2009-era Oppo BDP-83 for $119. For that price they will do all repairs inclusive of parts and labor for $119. Return shipping including - tho' I pay to get it there. I did email them first with description of the issues -- tray/transport sticking/not-closing most of time, initial media recognition sometimes not occurring. We'll see. I see transports seem to run $70 on eBay, replacement machines ~$200 plus or minus gross sums.
It must have been around 2017 when I sent it in for service before...for a similar price, IIRC. SACD playback using the unit has always sounded fantastic to my crappy ears and I hate getting rid of stuff. [ex) a crappy digital PJ is on ceiling, but all the ECP4500 stuff is STILL in my basement.]
Cheers, Matt

I had an Oppo 93 given to me that was in a fire with water damage, smoke damage, corrosion and just generally FKD
They fixed it. $100.
Use it for Halloween a few times. Works great now

How is the load speed ? I used to run an old NAD CD player that was silly slow until I gave it away and replaced it with my Oppo.. so ...so ...slow
