Gonk,

So let me see if I have this right, Oppo is better at video as long as you have a DVI out to your display. Also the 2910 has better analog sound but if you are going digital out to reciever its a tie bewteen 2910 and oppo?

I run everything through the 970, I have a sony dvp ns70h connect to the 970 via HDMI>DVI and Optical audio.

Lastly, Do you have any movie suggestions that will allow me to compare and contrast the 2 dvd's side by side?

Thanks
Mike
