OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
A MUST HAVE FOR ALL HDTVS w/  DVI/HDMI
I've had this player for about a month now and have been using it all the time now.  I have a sony 34xbr970 display.  The difference between a progressive player and this upconvert player, not to mention the invaluable divx compatiblity, is well worth the price range.  Until a final HD media is declared the winner(HD-DVD or Blu-Ray), this is the player for anyone that has a HDTV with DVI or HDMI!  You do not need a convert cable, it comes with both cables for DVI or DVI-HDMI.  So no need to buy any extra cables.   <br /> <br />NOTE: If you don't have DVI or HDMI, do not buy this, cause it does not upconvert on component.   <br /> <br />The firmware is also upgradeable through oppo's site. Hopefully, someday, they will upgrade it to where you can play DIVX HD and WMV HD.  But for now, you can't go wrong with this player.  Good player for price, great customer support, and no additional cables to buy.  Get it now before your dvds are obsolete.  New dvd releases look great! Star wars ep3, looks amazing!   <br /> <br />CONS: Does not upconvert on component, No Divx HD or WMV HD support.  CD Tray is flimpsy, but I've been extra careful cause of this. <br /> <br />Other than that, Audio/Video is superb.  Have no regrets about dishing out $200 for this player.
