Great DVD player [Posted on 2008-07-30] Works great, picture is great - even with older DVDs being played on a large HDTV screen.
Great upscaling player - highly recommend! [Posted on 2008-08-03] Oppo has lived up to the hype for this guy!
I bought it after reading the passionate and raving reviews AND because I wanted a region free, upscaling DVD player that would play all kinds of formats to accompany my new big flat panel TV.
It's slick, sleek, smart, and so competent... I'm really impressed.
I have been in love since I turned it on and the discs I play look so great!
Older movies and even copied stuff looks sharper and richer on my big tv using this player.
I haven't put it to the test with all my own formats yet but I'm confident that it will hold up.
Don't spend $75 on a cheap player - OPPO is the way to go!
oppp dvd player review [Posted on 2008-08-09] Finally, I found a great DVD player that upscales with little effort to set up. Plays all my DVDs great.
SACD/DVD-Audio features [Posted on 2008-08-11] I ordered this player because it was certainly the best value for both a 1080p upconversion and a DVD-Audio/SACD player. I realize DVD-Audio and SACDs never really took off - but I had built a nice library of discs over the years. My last DVD-Audio player stopped working and I saw the Oppo as a good replacement. However, there nothing posted on any website (cnet, oppo, amazon, etc.) that stated the DVD-Audio/SACD features would only work through HDMI. I have a Denon AVR-4802 and Sony XBR5 - so the HDMI is great for picture, but I still use optical cables. It makes no sense to me why Oppo would limit the DVD-Audio/SACD features like this. I am pretty dissapointed, but hopefully will enjoy the features when I upgrade my receiver in a few years. Had I known these features would not work over the optical output, I would have bought a much cheaper upconversion player instead.
THE BEST DVD PLAYER... PERIOD!!!!!!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-14] I just hooked my OPPO 981HD to my SONY 52v4100 TV using the HDMI cabe that came with the unit.The playback of a dvdon this unit is is unreal.I tried both types of dvds ,store bought and dvds that I have created using blank dvd-r. The picture is amazing on both types. This is a great way to watch your old movies that you have created from your recorder(I have a samsung r155). You can use the default settings on the OPPO or ajust the video settings to your likeing,all eyeballs are different. Bottom line, the picture is awesome, not HD, but very close.You can buy a bluray but the upconversion on it will be no better than, if not as good, as the OPPO 981hd.Besides you will same $200, and who in there right mind would spend $25 to $30 for hd dvds to replace what you have now and will be recording in the future.Good luck in even trying to find hd dvds of the movies that you have now.Buy the way, the OPPO comes better packed than than a transplanted heart!
