Oppo DV-981HD and DLP Sets

[jcsprankle]

I just bought a 52" 1080p DLP TV and am considering buying the new Oppo (981) but while researching, I found the following review on Amazon.

I bought this product through amazon and at first was very pleased. Weeks after I started seeing blotching in the dark areas of the picture during playback. Called Oppo and they can't return or refund since the purchase was through amazon. They told me that with the ferudja upconversion technology there was a conflict when it came to dlp televisions. Hopefully amazon will take it as a return.
Has this happened to anyone here? Is there any truth to this or is this just a fluke?

You might want to try the latest firmware upgrade first. There has been an upgrade since the units were packaged.

Its called macroblocking and there are some problems with some DLP/PLasma tv's. Check over at AVS Forum there are some big threads on the 981 along with ways to reduce macroblocking in general.
