I never saw my Oppo play so i cannot comment on the scaling. But i will only playback Blu Rays and most of them are 1080p23,976 anyway.

I agree that the display should not do too much. Only make sure the colors are coming are displayed correctly (which no display seems to do coming from the factory)

Is the chip in the new Oppo not the same one Meridian is using ?
