A shortcoming the reviewer mentions is when upscaling to 1080p and a CRT or projection TV with 1080p is the display choice, the picture may seem harsh. Not a problem for your LCD though. Another shortcoming is no Component output.

I went to the company's website, but not a lot of info about their history, mission statement, company profile was available. They're based in Sunnyvale though, and they maufacture what they sell.

That said, unless something better comes along when I'm ready to upgrade, that player will be my choice.
Thanks RnT (If I may be so bold as to initialize your name ) I sent am email to the Canadian dealer this morning to make an inquiry and just got a call from them (working on a Sunday..gotta like that) and they have a 15 day return policy so I ordered one to try out. Will keep you updated when I get a chance to watch it.

No component out is no problem, my TV has 2 HDMI inputs (one for future HDTV and one for the OPPO) I could also run it thru my receiver (it has 2HDMI in and 1 HDMI outs)

He also cleared up my question about the native resolution, I guess my TV will accept 1080 but will downscale to 720p. Will this make a huge difference to my aging eyes????

Cheers
