After reading raves about the BDP-83 I decided to buy one. OPPO said
"No, we're working on a new model and we'll let you know when it's
ready." I actually liked that they didn't continue to produce and sell
the "83" to people that didn't know a new model was in the works. I'm
not interested in today's 3D TVs and would have been fine with the
"83", but the "93" sells for the same price so why not get the latest?
I also just purchased a new 55" Samsung (not 3D) and because I didn't know how long I'd have to wait for the OPPO BDP-93 I also purchased an inexpensive Blu-Ray player. Nice TV, excellent picture, but there was little difference between the picture of a Blu-Ray DVD and any other digital input.
Within two weeks I was notified that the BDP-93 was available, and the first DVD I used to check the operation was a non-Blu-Ray Pirates of the Carribean. My wife and I, and our two teenagers, watched for a half-hour remarking on the clarity of the picture and the detail that had not been evident with the other player. A few Blu-Ray movies later and the difference between the video output of the the OPPO and the admittedly low-cost "place holder" player is simply stunning.
I've thrown a few varieties of audio disks in the player and it has yet to reject anything. A few MP3 compilations that would not play in my Sony CD/MP3 player were handled flawlessly by the BDP-93. I'm looking forward to trying some better digital audio disks and retiring the Cd player.
Piling on with the other reviewers, I can also recommend the OPPO BDP-93.
