The Panasonic BD30 as you stated bobs 1080i, lowering effective resolution significantly; I'd imagine most other BD players do the same because of cost issues.
However you can also get a player that can output 480i DVD/1080i Blu-ray directly to a scaler (i.e. Pioneer BDP-51FD/BDP-05FD) such as the Gefen Realta scaler ($699), Onkyo 875 receiver (Reon/$1000), or Integra DTC-9.8 processor (Reon/$1500) and get the 1080i properly deinterlaced that way.

Don't hold your breath for the Gefen. They have now put that one off until the end of the year or early next year. May not ever see it.

I can't get over that there isn't realy anything out there right now except the Denon 3800.
Right now I have a SD DVD solution that I am happy with. All I really need now is a BluRay player that just does HD properly. I guess I could just go with a "direct" player out to the scaler in my pioneer plasma, but I was just wondering if there was any other solution out there minus the processor/receiver route. I just a few months ago got a Marantz 8002 which I am very happy with.
I was hoping the denon 2500 did it properly cause a transport would be perfect cause it's all I need. I can live with the LFE bug with it's fix.
Does anyone know if the 2500 does it properly?
