OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Great player, minor problems...
I got this player about two weeks ago with the thought to try it and see if I want to replace my year old Momitsu upconvertion player (which I'm sending for a minor repair). From the very first day I loved the quality. It seems to me that it gives a better picture quality on my Samsung 50\\" DLP TV compare to Momitsu.  <br /> <br />The worst part of it was the remote. It came with the old black one, which has a lot of critique already posted here (see other reviews). Not only it was badly designed - it did not work - a couple of the keys were not functional. I contacted Oppo support by e-mail and they immediately sent me a replacement remote (that's a new one: gray with much better design and very good functionality). <br /> <br />I was very pleased with their customer support - they are very responsive and really caring, which is hard to find nowadays. I e-mailed them a couple of times to check on the status of my package (holidays shipping - you know...) And they were very professional again, even had sent me a second remote while the first one was delayed in the mail. Looks like the company is here to stay and they want to build a very good relationship with customers. <br /> <br />I had set my player to a region free, upgraded the firmware (download from the Oppo web site) and played few of my old and newer DVDs. The performance is good, picture quality is simply perfect. It's especially amazing to see old movies which are upconverted to a high definition with a completely new look. <br /> <br />The player is definitely a keeper. I think it's a very good value for the money. Minor problems did not stop me from giving it a five star rating.
