Well the LG BD390 IMO is not comparable to the Oppo 83 at all. If youre looking to compare LG BR with a Oppo product it must be their Oppo 80 model.

Here in Denmark atleast, the LG BD390 priced around 1800 DKR and the Oppo 80 is about 3000 DKR region free. The Oppo 83 is 5-6000 DKR region free.

What makes the Oppo 83 and the 83SE for that matter, so great; is what inside tech you get for that price. And yeah the build quality is in another league too. Not B&O style, but its good.

By dvd upscaling, I mean that the signal the BR player sends to the tv is good. Not how the tv handles lets say a standard dvd signal or something like that. There are various dedicated chips for upscaling DVD's to HD resulotions, and the one used in Oppo 83 is amazing. Atleast, that its available in product in that price range. In other words, the better the upscaling the better the picture you will get.

I don't know if the LG BD390 is in B&O puc table, but Oppo is. Otherwise if youre going for the LG, and its not in the PUC table. I'm sure your dealer can generate a table for it - then the handling of the LG from B&O is as good as if it was an Oppo, or something else in PUC table for that matter.

Best regards

I won't be going for the LG, now I'm looking at the Sony BDP-S570. I just didn't like the LG, ugly interface and bad build quality.

Oppo seems great but I can't seem to motivate the price difference and it lacks a few features that both the LG and Sony has. Sure, it has a great DVD-upscaler but the Sony seems pretty good at that too. And can't I make the BR player output SD when playing DVDs, leaving the BV10 to upscale??

Anyway.. Will try out the sony and see how it feels.

From memory,the upscaling chip used by Oppo in their BDP-83,is the same one used by DVDO in their Edge,and Duo,AV Processors.

Also,the BDP-83 has excellent sound quality.

The PQ from my BDP-83 is equal to that from my Sony BDP-S5000ES which is still Sony's flagship player.

One would need to connect the Oppo to the BV10 in order to compare the upscaling ability of one with the other.
