I have had the Oppo for about 2 or 3 weeks now and it lives up to the hype. Here is a little blurb I wrote about it on another site:
"the Oppo dvd player looks spectacular on my 52" DLP tv. I was using a Liteon dvd recordable so it was an enormous difference in picture quality. It is very smooth and fluid looking on my tv scaled to 720p. I also tried it on my 32" crt hdtv through dvi at 1080i and I was impressed, but I think it looked better on my dlp, probably due to size. I would buy one for the 32" if I could justify it, I just never watch movies on that tv. I was seriously thinking about upgrading my projector to one with a dvi/hdmi input just so I can buy another Oppo for my theater. I will put it this way, for $200 I doubt you will find a better picture anywhere. The thing that stands out to me the most is the blacks, which are definitely blacker than black. Because of that, the colors just pop, almost to a three dimensional level."
