Are there small differences? Yes, there are. But those differences cannot be mistaken for large differences in picture quality and even then a person has to know what to look for: any big difference in picture quality between BD players when playing a BD with a 1080p display via HDMI represents a problem within a person's system (could be the display, the players, other connected equipment, etc). That's the concensus from experts to non-experts who own or who have owned different BD players and compared them in such a system.

The only exception to this that I have seen comes from Kris Deering (formerly of Secrets) when he commented on a prototype Ayre DX-5 Blu-ray player. Anyone familiar with his reviews of DVD and Blu-ray players knows that he isn't going to lend praise to a player unless it really impresses him. And at an MSRP of $7k - $10k, that fucker better impress!

Yeah, 1080p HDMI BD is almost foolproof... - cfraser 22:00:01 11/26/09 (1)
from the source end, these days. That is kind of nice. Especially compared to DVD. I am continually impressed by the Oppo's DVD capability, compared to my other Oppo/PS3/Panny playing DVD.

I play way more DVD than BD at this point, strictly because of the variety I have. I don't feel hard done by with DVD. Though there is a depth I quite like that you get from the better/typical BD that just isn't there with any DVD, even the best ones. I bet this "depth" can vary and be more prominent with the very finest BDPs...I would pay more for more of that.

  I haven't compared any of the better BD players, but I think that may be what the Oppo has that my earlier players didn't do as well.
