Also, I'm less concerned with Aesthetics from a physical standpoint, and more concerned with the overall 'feel' to the way the DVD player works. Seamless layer...

Let me ask again.

As I have a 32" CRT 4:3 HD set, is the Oppo going to help me much? It seems to me the main advantage is with larger screens and with specific resolutions.
