Opinions on Blu-ray with a 480p DLP projector?


I own and love an Optoma H31 DLP projector which I would like to keep in my system using a 92" diagonal screen. Has anyone else on the 'gon that still uses a 480p projector tried feeding theirs with a Blu-ray player?

I understand the resolution is limited to roughly DVD quality on my Optoma, but was curious if you've tried a Blu-ray on your 480p projector did you notice an improvement in overall contrast, color saturation, shadow detail, etc. compared to regular DVD?

I'm wondering if it's worth moving to Blu-ray if I'm planning on keeping my projector for awhile..

Why not try an Oppo upconverting DVD player or the BD-83 Blu Ray? You have a 30 day trial period.

John,
You seem to understand the ups and downs. Why exactly isn't the Oppo your 1st choice for audio? Your original question was about video, audio depends on the rest of your system. Again, I say, 30 day in home trial.
