NO, the Oppo BD83 made no difference on my Pana plasma 50" 1080i.

Your oppo made no difference compared to what? 1080i broadcast? 480i broadcast? 480p DVD? D-Theater?
Denon 2910 DVD player.
I have a Panasonic 50" 1366x768 plasma (6 years old). Through the best DVD player available today, the oppo DV-983H, the image is easily lesser than the ouput from my Sony PS3 or Panasonic BD-35 Blu-ray players when comparing a DVD to a BD.
And that's from 15 feet away.
That's pretty unusual. Admittedly some DVDs are excellent so upscale well (especially with the Oppo), and some BDs aren't that great. In general though, I would say there's a large diff. You can't create detail with an upscaler...Edit: I should mention that your and Funky Bob's panels must really be 720p native (source signal-wise). So maybe the conversions required with a 1080 source cause some weirdness or degradation. I've never used a 720p panel this way so don't know, mine are native 1080p and 1080i (CRT)...
