For 1080p or 1080i sources, did you notice much difference between the Oppo and external video processor? I don't imaging you'll see much because 1080p source doesn't need any processing and 1080i source needs only de-interlacing.

I didn't play any native 1080i sources through Oppo so I don't have good answer. The Oppo is a great product...I just preferred using the new Runco processor and like the ability to send native rates into it. The new Comcast box also allows this and results in a much better picture...since some broadcasts are in 720p (ESPN). And some in 1080i. (CBS)

What size Screen are you using with it? The reason I am asking for more information is this. Monday afternoon my Runco Dealer is dropping by to provide me with a quote on the VX-11d. I now have the VX5000ci W/DHD controller. Which is a 720p or 1080i image. Screen is 123" W/4-way remote masking. I have a dediacted room for the HT and with the sconce lights out it is DARK like a cave. I'm very much looking forward to the New Runco VX-11d. If all works out for that to take place. Any further info. you could provide me with regarding the VX-11d I would appreciate. I have Dish Network for my satellite provider and wonder how this new unit picture is going to look versus the one I have now. I'm thinking it should be a dramatic difference in Contrast & Brightness. And the Blacks should be a major difference as well. Terry |

I use a 108" Stewart which is 16:9. I jumped from a 720p native single chip to the 11d which is a3chip 1080p native. The processor switched from vivix2 to the new vivix4. Bluray is the only native 1080p source...and vudu HDX puts out 1080p but I don't believe it's true 1080p. All signals are converted to 1080p by he processor. It was a big upgrade from the 720p 1000d. More vivid, better contrast on dark scenes, and the resolution is incredible. Brighter as well. Technology keeps changing...I would upgrade. Runco should give you some credit to trade in your 5000

You just told me what I thought would be the difference. On Dish you can buy movies that they say are broadcast in 1080p. So that I am looking forward to seeing what they will look like. You Demand. We Deliver! HD Movies On Demand, TV & Video On Demand - DISH Network DISH Network is the first to offer 1080p VOD. Watch your movies with stunning clarity, unsurpassed detail, and resolution equal to Blu-ray Disc! Select from thousands of movie titles and TV shows. Watch it as often as you like within a 24-hour period. Available for the 512 (SD/DVR), 522, 612, 622, 625, 722 and 922 DVR receiver models. Yes, I am getting a trade-in on the VX5000ci if all goes well. There would have to be something really weird to take place once he arrives for this not to take place. But I have been around for a long time so not taking anything as fact until it it is a signed work order. I'm really looking forward to this up-grade. I have had mine now for 9-yrs. so it is time for a change. Also going to add a Sony Blu-Ray player. Thanks again, Terry

I would strongly consider the Oppo blu-ray. Either the 93 if you only use HDMI for audio( digital out) or 95 if you want to use the players analog out.

Guys,
My DHD Controller has an issue and is down. Called my guy and found out Runco per the Regional Rep is {Dead}. Mine unit is still under Warranty so my guy is trying to see if Runco is still backing up the customers that are under Warranty. To be Brutally-Blunt men ........... This IMHO totally "SUCKS" !!! There goes $30,000.00 USA Dollars down the drain. Just found this out yesterday about Runco researching On-Line. http://www.cepro.com/article/goodbye_runco# Quote:
