Oppo digital upconverting DVD player DV-981HD

Having recently set up my home entertainment system, Ive had to accumulate a few components that Ive had to wait and use before rating. The oppo DV-981HD is a DVD player that I would have never found, had I simply visited a retail store, simply because its an online available item only. While the future of higher definition DVD players is being fought to death by blu-ray and HD-DVD, I decided to get something rather cheap (in comparison) while getting the optimal performance, as I patiently wait in the sidelines for one of the two formats to die off, so I could buy the winner. A 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player is the answer for now, it comes at a fraction of the cost of the previously mentioned giant formats and it even comes with an HDMI cable itself. Having good reviews from cnet.com simply helped my decision to purchase this DVD player. For the money spent, the quality and look of this DVD player are well worth it.
