My case is an exception. I have an older SXRD TV, and despite it being a 1080p display, it only accepts 1080i inputs, then deinterlaces them (thank you very much Sony!). Differences in BDP quality may be more noticeable. I've had a Samsung, a Sharp, and now an Oppo. The first two had a lot of other issues unrelated to PQ. I'm not sure I would recommend cheap BD players to potential buyers. They are likely to end up being frustrated.

Not trying to argue because what you saw is what you saw. See? Saw?
Anyway, 1080p24 (on disc) to 1080i60 (output) is a standard conversion that is more or less simple math. There's nothing complex about it and the link below demonstrates this: no player should have an advantage when it comes to the conversion from p to i with regard to Blu-ray playback. Deinterlacing is, of course, different and better players will put the signal back together closer to the original.
But $200 now can get you something quite acceptable/functional for HDMI PQ/SQ, compared to what you got for more say 2 years ago. Still eminently disposable.I am concerned about the lifetime of the BD drives though, I've seen almost no info on that subject. I would also like to know if Oppo would be able to replace the drive in the BDP-83 in 3 years (say)...it would be a shame to lose the whole "box" if not. Do they have a MTBF for the drive? So usage patterns could be adjusted, rather than using the 83 for "everything".
I'll guess your "issues" before were more related to the attitude of the manufacturers, especially re the timeliness of FW updates to play recent BDs. I hope things are a little more stable now re that, both from the players' and studios' ends. Every new-release BD is a bit of an adventure. I almost never buy any BDs as soon as they're released, I wait until they're cheap(er), so the FW has been fixed by then and I haven't had any problems of playability yet.
It's too bad you can't use the BDP-83's de-interlacer with your display. This is one aspect of the player that is definitely superior. Makes a joke of my Pio display's de-interlacing capability, and runs all over the PS3's. Well, it'll be good for your next display. My previous main display was a Sony too. It only takes 1080i, and still I think it looks really good with BD. I haven't tried the 83 with it though.
