  My Oppo BDP-83 finally arrived. I found this player impressive. I bought for 6000 Norwegian Kroner.That would be 973.428 in USD, according to Xe.com . I can tell it worth all the money. This player is very fast, what i mean is that it loads a disc in just 10 seconds. My old dvd player used probably 20 to 25 seconds to load a dvd. That is great.

  My first Blu-ray film i saw was the first Matrix film. I saw this film on the early afternoon. That`s why i could have the loud volume. I have seen it many times before on VHS. It`s probably like 8 years since i last saw it on my big brothers VHS. And now watching it again on Blu-ray is like watching it for the first time, it`s a completly new experience. I was very impressed by the razor sharp picture quality and the dynamic and bass heavy Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio track.

  The picture was SO detailed and sharp with strong and great colours. In the fight scenes and the shoot-outs, they bass was very deep and clear, also they sounded real. It sounded like they were fighting and shooting right in front of me in the living room!. One scene i really liked  was when Neo was shooting with some kind of huge machinegun in a helicopter, the bass so loud and cool. I just turned up the volume more and enjoyed the much too brief scene. I always turn up the volume when action scenes shows up, then i turn it down when it`s finished.

  I would like you to see a comparison between the dvd versions and the Blu-ray version at the link below. There you can see the much improved quality, compared to the standard definition dvds. It`s best if you click on the Blu-ray pictures, so you get a much bigger picture..

  And, as always, don't forget that the grabs only give an indication of how these discs look. The screen-grab process itself brings its own issues with it (such as jpg compression), and give absolutely no idea of how they actually look in motion.So, they look much better when you see it on tv yourself.
  
  

   

  Very good player with plenty of great useful functions. I couldn`t be more happier.
