Nilay, I would enjoy more true HD content, but not at current prices. I was a relatively early adopter of 1080p and I find I'm quite happy with upscaled DVD content. DVD was markedly better than VHS -- no question there was added entertainment value. Upscaled DVD is cheap and adds a marginal bit of entertainment value. Full HD is great but not worth the extra cost.
I have an HD DVD box, bought four movies when I got it and never got another HD movie -- even well before the death of HD DVD. It's just that actual HD is no more entertaining or engaging that the upscaled DVD. And it's not my set -- I have a 52" Sharp that has an incredible display.
Strange that everytime I see a mention of Oppo, the comments are positive but when Toshiba does a new upscaling player, the comments are negative. Seems like online journalists have a problem with Toshiba. By and large, Toshiba makes quality products.
