"Fantastic!"
Pros: Image quality, sound settings, menu usage, HDMI
Cons: Not many...
Summary: I picked up the OPPO DVD recently after reading some great reviews on CNET. I didn't want to bust the wallet and go for a high end HDDVD player because I have a decent collection of standard DVD's at home.
I have a Sharp Aquos LCD 37' HDTV and the OPPO integrated flawlessly. I just had to set the OPPO to 1080i before I popped the DVD in and i was set.
I ran Apollo 13 first and used it as the sound check. I have a very finicky surround system, an old Pioneer receiver with 5 speakers and a Sub that I just couldnt seem to get right before. The Oppo has a very extensive sound menu that allowed me to tweak my system even further and really enhanced a set up that was lacking direction. So that was huge plus to start.
The image quality is very good, and for the money i think its totally worth it. It comes in a nice package and even comes with an HDMI wire which is an added bonus, though i'm curious if a higher level wire would present even better results. Did not see any picture haziness or pixelation - nothing of that. Very smooth. I've watched more than 5 DVDs since ive gotten it and haven't noticed any negatives as far as image quality goes - and keep in mind that i'm LOOKING for them.
I would definitely recommend this player to anyone with a decent HDTV and a collection of standard DVD's.
