Just got this baby in the post, reaction?
WOW best 170 spend ever, EVER.
you open up the box and under the piles of polystyrene, lies a black cloth bag with oppo written on it in big letters and inside is a seriously cool-looking dvd player, it has about 5 audio outs, a optical out,video out and dvi out (with a hdmi adapter and audio cable supplied). all the connections (except dvi are gold plated aswell, so any way the discs i used to test it were:
Incredibles-I couldnt believe the quality and sharpness of the picture, it seemed like it actually ADDED detail through upscaling
Revenge of the sith-I watched the bit where R2 lights the droids on fire at the beginning so many times it was so good, the flames the sharpness everything was perfect.
Bullitt-i chose this because it was filmed a while ago and its real not cgi etc etc, the result? Another jaw dropping picture, i expected this to look the same as before but every thing was so sharp, the chase was awesome and the background looked far less blurred.
It took me a while to set up (i had a fifth of the picture cropped of due to the wrong picture format (ntsc) ) but in the end it is definatly the best picture ive ever seen, if hdtv looked as good as this i would be happy. (eventhough it will obviously look better). I would recommend this dvd to anyone looking for a decent dvd player to go with there new hdtv. it seems to be the only dvd with no issues and has Awesome customer support with regular updates, and is raved about by thise hwho have it on avforums. BUY IT NOW!
EDIT: Oh and before you ask it's pluged into a 26inch sammy
