Pros Well thought out bells and whistles and all around well built electronics .
Cons Remote sucks and DVD tray looks flimsy. MUST HAVE DVI OR HDMI HDTV!
Recommended it? Yes

Ah Epinions, out to make me nuts again with your incredibly useless search engine and product descriptions I see. Well too late fools! That happened years ago around the time I started reading McTurbot reviews and wearing women's underwear while reviewing porno movies on my iPod. You can hide this... Read full review »

Pros 1080p, HDMI, BEST PICTURE ON MARKET.
Cons None! But would be nice to have a GAMMA adjustment.
Recommended it? Yes

Oppo Digital's DV-971HD has been ranked as the number one player available, by professional reviewers, and magazines, upon buying one, I must agree, it no doubt is the best overall. BUT it had a serious handicap it was a 1080i player in a 1080p world and even worse it is DVI based and all players... Read full review »

Get One Now Before Their Reputation Gets Out and Price Go Up!

Pros Price and convenience with HDMI hookups can't be beat!
Cons Build quality could be better, no component video outputs.
Recommended it? Yes

OPPO is a relatively new company in the US as far as their DVD units are concerned. In actuality they make almost as many DVD players as Sony and Panasonic do, but have only recently marketed them in the US. I recently purchased the OPPO DV-981HD on the advice of several online testing sites who... Read full review »

Worth the Price

Pros Does audio/video very well, sweet looking and well designed.
Cons Virtually no front panel controls. Remote MUST be used. No big deal.
Recommended it? Yes

Sure, I have Blu-ray and HD-DVD and I have a hi def projector with a 120 inch screen in a dedicated home theater/Audio room...BUT, MOST of the DVDs around are still in 480P standard Def format and that's a fact of life.

What is it?
The Oppo is a VERY thin DVD/CD player that handles... Read full review »

High End Quality At a Reasonable Price

Pros Faroudja chip for best possible picture, 1080p, wide variety of supported formats
Cons No component Video output, Surround Sound not quite as good as the previous model (971HD).
Recommended it? Yes

Only discovered Oppo Digital a few weeks back. For years I have had a Panasonic S-35 which has been great for my standard 27" Zenith; however I recently upgraded to a 37" Westinghouse 37W3 LCD TV with True 1080p HD-Ready display. Needless to say the S-35 didn't quite cut it with that. So I began... Read full review »

Not for the impatient. But the quality may be worth the wait.

Pros Digital video out. Perfect PAL/NTSC conversion.
Cons Slowest DVD player I have ever experienced.
Recommended it? No

In a world where you can buy a DVD player in the convenience-store checkout line, why would you spent $200 on a premium player? Digital video is the answer.

This player's nameplate feature (and in fact, as far as I can tell, it's only notable feature) is DVI/HDMI digital output. If you... Read full review »

Pros Great picture and film soundtrack decoding.
Cons The damn blue light!!!!! Good at music CDs but not audiophile quality.
Recommended it? Yes

The Oppo line has been receiving quite a bit of good reviews since they started selling their DVD players a couple of years back. Deservedly so.

The main purpose of this machine is to play DVDs, and that it does in excellent form. Truly, the best picture I've seen from a DVD player as of... Read full review »

Pros Digital interface, firmware updates, nice picture
Cons occasional lip sync problem, remote is poor, no sacd playback
Recommended it? Yes

The Oppo DVD player has performed very well for me. I like several features about it:

1. The DVI interface. I have an HD Television and it has 2 HDMI ports. The player connects through DVI, but it came with a cable that converts DVI to HDMI ports, so that saved me a trip. I am not saying... Read full review »

Pros AMAZING picture quality, Budget player with high-end design!
Cons The remote, the little first-year kinks still being worked out.
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned this player for about 6 months and have enjoyed it ever since! This DVD player is being called the BEST Budget DVD Player on the market in 2005! And boy, they weren't kidding. This Oppo Digital DVD Player has been compared with other DVD players priced at $2500 as being able to perform... Read full review »

High Quality, Low Price

Pros PRICE!  Features, upconverting DVD, quality craftsmanship,
Cons None I've found yet. 
Recommended it? Yes

Our ancient DVD player was in need of replacement, so after doing much research, I discovered an obscure company with the unlikely name of Oppo.  It turns out that Oppo had been provided the guts to other high-end companies but finally put out their own models.  Their models have been consistently...
