OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Worth the money ... well earned reputation
Don't expect to pick the OPPO-Digital up-converting DVD player for half-price from a wholesaler ... Like a BMW, this product out-performes the competition, and won't be be found on a discount lot. <br />The test ... Top Gun DVD on Hitachi 50\\" Hi-Def TV. <br />Tried it both with and without the \\"up-convert mode\\" kicked in. <br />Makes all the difference in the world! HD players and DVD's won't be out until 2006, but you can experience the beauty of 1080 line HD images now. <br />One thing, though ... I visited OPPO-Digital's web site and pulled down better operating documentation than that included with the player. Also, check the site for the codes to check for firmware version installed on the unit. <br />Player comes with DVI cable ... My TV is equipped with DVI input. <br />All in all, this is now my front line player, a real must for consumers with big-screen HD TV's.
