These are the settings in the PS3. Are you saying that the automatic settings in the PS3 does not work with the HD81 and you need to set the PS3 to the “on” mode to get your HD81 to accept 1080P/24 and display it at 48HZ? When you connected the Panasonic DMP-BD30 to the HD81 did you try changing the “HDMI resolution setting” from auto to 1080P and then turn on the “BD-Video 24p output” option?
So the PS3 is the only player you have been able to get to work with the HD81-lv? There does not seem to be standard labeling in the industry for this feature. On the PS3 the “on” mode will always output 1080P/24 for a BLU-RAY movie without using auto HDMI detection. It appears that most or all brands of standalone BLU-RAY players use auto detection when the “on” mode is selected where as the PS3’s “on” mode bypasses auto detection.
Perhaps one day a firmware update will be made available for your HD81 to correct this issue or you will only be able to use the PS3 machine as a BLU-RAY player. It does not appear that the HD-DVD and BLU-RAY standalone players are going to add any firmware updates so that the 1080P/24 output offers the exact same 3 options as the PS3 machine does.

I spent a half hour talking with Optoma customer relations last night about this issue. They have tested many players with the HD81-LV to find out whether they will operate din 24 fps mode. The only machines that will are the SONY PS3 and 300. Every other player they have tested, will not. They have no plans to update the firmware. I believe you should note that in your list.
