[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1815118, member: 560358"] I was looking at the AVS threads last year and many folks got the boner for Oppo mainly because they implemented video circuitry that usually was found in more expensive players. At that time, $300 was the price for their particular model of interest, IIRC killer video over HDMI. From an audio point of view, I bet a sub $100 universal DVD player would satisfy many folks. If you have an old HDTV that supports 1080i but only has analog {component level} level inputs, the old Samsung HD-941 player can do the upsampling over analog, an illegal function today, by using a simple remote control 'hack'. Paid $126 last year, seen some used for $80 on Amazon. Great audio and video for cheap. If you do have an HDTV set with DVI or HDMI, then spend a few more bucks to get a more modern DVD player with more uber picture quality. [/QUOTE]
