OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Superb upscaling DVI DVD player
Like many people, I purchased this DVD player on the strengths of the \\"Secrets\\" review. ([...] ). This DVD player is connect via DVI to a Hitachi 57S500 RPTV and replaces an older Samsung DVD+VCR combo unit that was connected via component cable. The TV does a fairly credible job with the older DVD player, I was not quite prepared for the dramatic increase in visual quality including details, color saturation and overall outstanding picture quality the Oppo player provides. To be clear - there are a few nits that others have raised, most notably the edge enhancement issue. The sound sync issue can be fixed by simply pressing \\"Stop\\" and \\"Start\\" again on the remote. The Oppo has never failed to immediately resync audio by doing this. <br /> <br />Read the HT Hifi review, read the AVSForum posts about the Oppo as well, then do yourself a favor and order this DVD player. You will not be sorry, and if by some reason you are not happy, Oppo has a 30 day return policy. Nothing else touches this DVD player for $200, not even close.
