Krich:
I've read that the 981 is NOT recommended for DLP sets because of macroblocking. I haven't heard anything about a firmware change. Do you know if the issue has been resolved regarding DLP sets?

I'm itching to spend some money (but not too much!!) and would like to try an Oppo for all the great things I've read!
