OPPO DV-980H review
I really spent a lot of time looking at reviews of upconverting DVD players. I read a review of the new Toshiba upconverting DVD player that got me started. That is a fine looking machine but reviews of it indicated some initial flaws in its capabilities so I kept looking. Somehow I found OPPO while surfing the NET. Their Web site gives you a recommendation of which of their three machines would be best, based on your needs and current equipment. I was intrigued with their recommendation that their cheapest machine would be best for me. It was hard to pass up their most expensive DVD player which passes all the really tough video benchmark tests. I had to keep reminding myself that I could purchase two of the 980H's and still have some change ... Read More
Very Impressed
Just got this DVD Player yesterday, I had a perfectly fine Toshiba DVD Player and up graded to this one. Man I can really tell the difference in sound and picture quality. Its pretty awesome. I have it hooked up to an old school TV not an LCD and using the PCM cables to connect it to the TV. I can just imagine if I used the HDMI output on a Sony XBR or a Samsung A650 or 750.. This is an awesome DVD player. The sound is powerful and some awesome preset sounds built in too I.E rock, live, club, movie dance etc. there are adjustment for pretty much every thing ,like sharpness, brightness, tone, gamma, etc etc all built into the DVD player. An awesome player for $169. Hope you guys like the pics I uploaded, I upgraded the firm ware, with out any problems. ... Read More
The best DVD player I've seen
This is a fantastic DVD player. Connected via HDMI to a 1080p plasma TV the DVDs look and sound great. I am seeing details I've never seen in movies. This is a finely packaged and engineered player. It includes an HDMI cable and an audio cable. There are several options you can select for picture and sound. The buttons on the remote glow in the dark but there are so many buttons and they are so small that you will need light to operate it. It takes several seconds for this player to boot up or load a DVD menu screen but I've gotten used to it. The DVD tray itself is a little flimsy. A red standby light stays on whenever the unit is off. The running light and readout are a nice blue color which can be dimmed. The best way to watch movies until ... Read More
Outstanding in every way
Great unit! As many have said, its audio and video quality surpass most costing far more. The Customer Service for Oppo is fabulous. I heartily recommend the 980!
Best DVD Player I've Owned
This is the best DVD Player I've owned. I will keep my eyes out for other Oppo products every time I upgrade my electronics in the future. I bought this player shortly after purchasing a PS3 and upgrading my TV to a 42" 1080p. My Blue Rays looked great, but neither the PS3 nor my old standard DVD player could make a decent picture out of regular DVDs. This Oppo Player solved that beautifully. There is little difference between an upconverted DVD and most Blue Rays, because most BDs are not shot with high-def cameras anyway. This equipment proves to me that DVD will continue to have a large market for many years to come, even in an HD environment, as a cheaper alternative to BD. PLEASE OPPO MAKE MORE PRODUCTS! These guys know quality electronics. ... Read More
