OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Excellent for HDTV (for now, anyway). Don't Expect Miracles
I own this player with my Samsung HL-R5087W and it works perfectly with my current crop of DVDs, especially TV-series on DVD such as Seinfeld and Entourage. Don't expect miracles though - Lord of the Rings does not look as crisp as it could be and Goblet of Fire looks horrendous. It's DVD-specific, lots of extras and specials crammed onto a disc leaves less room for a properly compressed movie. Some of my movies, like Star Wars, look excellent, while you can see some noticeable degradation of quality in certain misty scenes in King Kong.<br /><br />Remote works fine, no problems with usability. Perfect export of digital sound to my surround system. Included DVI cable seems to handle the job quite well. An excellent purchase.
