Oppo OPDV971H DVD Player Review

It seems as if everyone is talking about the Oppo (‘oh-poe') OPDV971H DVD player. The main attraction behind this new player is its DVI output and ability to upconvert DVD source material to both 720p and 1080i (in addition to the expected 480p). It is...

Excellent video performance when using DVI output ; Basic DVD-Audio support ; Nice small form factor

Component video outputs only support 480i ; Atrocious manual that goes through the settings labels without explanation ; Menu button on remote located out of reach ; Sub-par bass management and distance delay options for DVD-Audio ; Runs hot ; Slow...

Great unit

Of all the DVD players I have owned, my Oppo 971H is by far the best. I love it's simplistic (read- not Tacky) looks and it'set up features. All my DVDs are a pleasure to view again. I can't get over the improvement in both picture and ... Expand full...

I've been converted Oppo Coming Out Party

I've owned a Denon 1910 DVI upconversion for a while now. I thought after Denon I would not have any other DVD brand. Then comes HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. All expert opinions point to wait and see who comes out on top of this format war. Hence the reason to...

After owning it for 4years, I recently dumped it for a Denon.

I owned this Player for 4years and all along misled into thinking I had something better than sliced bread. Was I wrong! First, the Macro blocking issue, the display displays blacks horrendously. All other colors are good, but the blacks and the...
