^^^^I don’t share your faith in the hockey stick. I see the jagged hockey stick on my Panny 9000 in slow motion or freeze frame but not at regular speed.

I recently acquired an Oppo BDP-83 to compare. I’m outputting both the Oppo and the Panny at 480p to a video processor for scaling, and then to a Sony 4K projector with its Motionflow setting on Off. If I freeze the Oppo and then back-step, I get a hockey stick that looks worse than the Panny’s. I took a picture but can’t figure out how to attach it. The point, though, is the images illustrate how the players generate stills of difficult material. My Sony BDP-S6700 produces the best hockey-stick stills of the three players but doesn’t do as well on some real material (such as the Homecoming: A Christmas Story DVD I watched at Christmas, which the Panny handled better).

Viewing the Spears & Munsil montage, the Oppo is better than the Panny in some spots (such as the car hood a man is polishing before the hockey clips), but they both do a nice job. I don’t doubt that some Panny owners have had a different experience (and some people who aren’t Panny owners accept what they’ve read). I wonder if the type of display and its interaction with the Panny are somehow responsible for the difference, though I have no idea why that would be the case.
