I have a feeling that this is the only pratical solution but really rather not at the moment

Sounds like the Samsung up-convert POS I bought once. I exchanged it 3 times and each one did the same thing. It would lock up during a movie and the only way to get it going again was to pull the plug. I got my money back and purchased a "real" dvd player. Oppo DV-981HD

2nd the Oppo DVD Player being kick ass...
Except the blue display on the front is hard as hell to read, occasionally when I push the open tray button it doesn't work either...
But other than that is a great player, not sure its worth the money though.

I guess to each his own.
I didn't have any issue reading the displays and that ***** that you are having a tray issue. I would email them and see if they can fix it.
As to it being worth the money or not.
My brother recently got a new Pioneer 50" 1080p plasma. (He's a total Bastard) Anyway, we tried out a couple of different DVD Players on the TV. Here is how I would rate them.
1. My Fathers Arcam Diva DV-137 $1990
2. My Pioneer Elite DV-59avi $1000 (Price if it was New)
3. Oppo DV-981HD $229
4. A Phillips DVD Player (Upconverting) $70 ish?
4. A Kenwood DVD Player (NON-Upconverting) $FREE
5. A Phillips DVD Recorder (NON-Upconverting) $???? OLD
Anyway, there was a clear advantage with the Arcam it looked AMAZING. But, my dad wanted it back and it costs nearly $2000. IMO the Oppo blew away the Phillips DVD Player and was pretty close to the quality of the Elite. But, I think the Elite was a little cleaner and more crisp in the picture.
So, IMO it is very worth the money. But, that is just my opinion.
What about the audio quality on them?

Probably same order...
The Oppo isn't the best SQ player ever. But, if you are using digital it doesn't matter...

yeahh Ive ruled it was the eye burnt out. Might try replacing depending on the price than when I move get a kick ass home theater set up. On that note, I see Oppo is a good brand? Is there a forum for home theather stuff or a review site and what not?
