    CNET Review

    The Good: Excellent image quality; upscaling to 1080p over HDMI; attractive, understated black design; multichannel SACD and DVD-Audio over HDMI; DivX/Xvid support; aspect-ratio control; can be made region-free with a simple hack.

    The Bad: Expensive compared to other DVD players; similarly priced HD DVD players deliver vastly superior image quality on HD DVDs.

    The Bottom Line: If you're not ready to get a high-def player, the Oppo DV-980H DVD player delivers excellent performance and an unparalleled feature set for the price.

    Review Summary: For music lovers seeking the finest sub-$200 player on the market, Oppo's DV-980H is in a class by itself (unless or until a competitor builds something that can knock it off its throne). It's also a great player for A/V enthusiasts who will ...
