AKA - Oppo Digital - OPDV971H DVD Player : The Geek's Little DVD Player

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is called Oppo by his friends.
Review: 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...

Highest Ranked DVD Player, Takes Another Step UP!

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is the present King of the Hill of 1080p DVD UPconverting players. There is just nothing close at the moment, and I've done some serious head on comparisons.
Review: 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...

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

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: A picture that compares with DVD players costing thousands and incredible setup ease when using an HDMI connection makes this the new yardstick by which other players should be judged.
Review: 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...

Worth the Price

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: A great addition to your blu-ray/HD-DVD system and a good starter player for audiophiles.
Review: 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?

High End Quality At a Reasonable Price

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great way to make use of your HDTV while waiting for the HD Fomats to develop and allow you to get the most out of your existing DVD Collection.
Review: 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...

Very Satisfied

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is the best player of this quality at this price.
Review: 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...

Excellent picture

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2007
Review: 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,...

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

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Too slow. Too many flaws.
Review: 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...

GREAT Underground DVD Player with A Lot of Potential!

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Bottom line: This DVD player blows Sony and Panasonic out of the water! The company may be new, but their product is SOLID!
Review: 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...

High Quality, Low Price

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: Really high quality for low cost. Will buy you time until they figure out what to replace Blu Ray with.....
Review: 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...
