Please Help with Oppo BDP-83 HDMI Resolution Output Confusion with New UHD TV... - Blu-ray Forum

Greetings.

I'm trying to sort out some issues I'm having between my decade-old Oppo BDP-83 BD player and a brand new Samsung NU8000 UHD panel I just acquired; I plan on getting a UHD disc player at some point, but right now I'm using the Oppo for DVD and BD playback on this new display.

With my previous TV, a Sony SXRD rear projection set, I left the Oppo on AUTO output for HDMI resolution (everything is connected via HDMI in my system; audio and video are going from the BDP-83 through an Onkyo 605 for full video passthrough and then off to the display) which fed the Sony a 1080p video signal (always confirmed when I pressed the Sony remote's information button). Now, because that display DIDN'T support 1080p/24 video, I assume the Oppo was sending it 1080p/60 signals when the HDMI output was set to AUTO...

With this new UHD TV, I assume it can display 24fps video, so I have been running the Oppo in "1080p/24 - AUTO" output mode, which seems to send the panel 1080p/24 video (confirmed by getting the resolution information on the Samsung). But is this what I should be keeping the Oppo on for this new TV? Should the HDMI output be set to 1080p/24 FORCED on instead of AUTO? Or should I go back to using FULL AUTO for HDMI output, which would send the Samsung the highest resolution it can accept via EDID handshakes?

Here's the weird thing about all this:

When I first got the Samsung and connected it to the Oppo, I used the same HDMI resolution output: AUTO setting I was using on the previous Sony display, and this would send 1080p/60 to the new panel...but if AUTO is supposed to send the highest resolution the TV can accept, why was it sending 60fps video? Shouldn't it have sent 1080/24?

Can anyone assist with this?
